Our Purpose
The salon’s overall purpose is evidenced by the motto we live by, “Communitas et Incrementum Sapientiae,” which, translated, means Community and Growth in Wisdom. This motto serves as the foundation for everything we do: to grow as a collective, global community.
The Salon’s center is in Vienna, Austria. It was inspired by the French eighteenth-century gatherings known as ‘Salons littéraires,’ its participants being connoisseurs, philosophers, aristocrats, and members of the intellectual elite. They would freely discuss current topics of literary, cultural, political, and economic interest. Indeed, the Salon’s name and the title of its Sessions are symbolic of the Age of Enlightenment that was brought about in eighteenth-century Europe.
In alignment with this particular historical movement, our members are backed by the Chatham House Rules. Everything that happens in the Salon, including the identity of its members, stays within the confines of its Sessions and gatherings. This creates a haven for individuals to share uninhibited ideas, concerns, knowledge, and creative processes, knowing that what they choose to express and who they are is confidential outside of the salon.
