The cultural programming of the Eranos Foundation, generously supported by public and private contributions, intends to gradually secure partial self-financing, continuing to guarantee quality initiatives, if possible in an entirely free form, as well as to offer, alongside the scientific activities, moments of informal and convivial meetings, which are particularly appreciated opportunities for dialogue. For these purposes, since 2016, the Foundation envisages the possibility of joining a supporters' club, the Eranos Circle, whose goal is to bring together the affectionate frequenters of Eranos and guarantee them, in addition to the usual cultural activities promoted in Ascona-Moscia and Monte Verità, a series of additional benefits.
There are four ways to join the Eranos Circle:
Supporting Fellow (annual membership fee: CHF 100), with the right to receive a copy of your choice of publications released by the Foundation.
Sustaining Fellow (annual membership fee: CHF 300), with the right, in addition to the benefits provided for the Supporting Member, to free attendance at the Eranos Conference (Tagung).
Benefactor Fellow (annual membership fee: CHF 1,000), with the right, in addition to the benefits provided for the Supporting Fellow and the Sustaining Fellow, to an invitation to the opening dinner of the Conference (Tagung) of Eranos.
Exclusive Fellow (annual membership fee: CHF 2,000), with the right, in addition to the benefits provided for the Supporting Fellow, the Sustaining Fellow, and the Benefactor Fellow, to receive the first 20 volumes of the Eranos-Jahrbücher series in anastatic reprint and to stay free of charge in the historic Eranos facilities, for 2 nights in a double room, breakfast included.
In addition, several projects are underway to enhance the documents held in the historic Eranos Archive: extremely rich materials (manuscripts, epistolary accounts, photographs), which have grown over the decades thanks to the tireless work of our founder, Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn (1881-1962), and her successors. The critical edition of these materials - which is part of the primary mandate of the Aragno Eranos Ascona Publishing House, founded for this purpose in 2019 - can be supported through ad hoc donations (personal and institutional), of which the Foundation undertakes to give notice as part of the publication itself. For more information and an overview of current projects eligible for support, please contact the Foundation.
