 Ecclesia Metaphysicae Occidentalis (EMO)
“Ecclesia (lat) is a term derived from the Greek root ekklesia , which literally means a "gathering" of citizens, in an ancient Greek city-state, or a "called-out assembly"; usually defined as "gathering of the called-out ones"[1] or “gathering of those summoned”[2”

The Ecclesia Metaphysicae Occidentalis (EMO) or the Collective of Western Metaphysics is an initiative to establish an intentional collective-community based on the wisdom of perennial knowledge, the primordial metaphysical tradition that is the foundation of all religion, philosophy, and knowledge of the mankind. This tradition had to be clearly defined and collected into a comprehensive body of knowledge and this enormous task was achieved by many different authors over the last two centuries, with the most remarkable effort dedicated to Rene Guenon and the following Perennialist movement (Frithjoh Schuon, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Julius Evola, Titus Burchardt etc.)
Over the last century and especially the last decade, the effects and consequences of modernity has become apparent; the degradation of education, the destruction of natural environments, capitalist globalization, resource wars, extreme political corruption and degeneration etc. In the light of these events there’s a need to for a radical change both within the consciousness of the individual and the collective. The Ecclesia is an effort to organize interested individuals to create a spiritual community based on the perennial knowledge of all primordial traditions.
The very realization of the collective is divided into two major phases:
Phase I. The gathering of the interested parties into a virtual community, where we could discuss the very foundations and all other details of the Ecclesia. This is a preparation phase where theoretical details could be worked out about the actual functioning, the means of operations and goals of the collective.
Phase II. The realization of the collective by acquiring a land, establishing a community based on existing co-housing models, intentional community models into a permacultural, self-governed, re-localized, self-sustainable form.
It is imperative that the spiritual foundation of the collective to be laid on the essence of perennial knowledge. The metaphysical tradition is supranational, beyond religions (but includes all religions in the same time) and encourages universal thinking.
