Meeting of the Blessed Eyes

The Meeting of the Blessed Eyes is the annual meeting of the Society of Unseen Living Energy during which new members are inducted and titles are officially presented. The meeting lasts for several days and involves networking events, workshops, and general celebration of Power of Aura.

History

While much has changed about the format of the Meeting of the Blessed Eyes over the years, it has been a fundamental tradition since the very beginning. The first meeting in 743 had fourteen attendees and marked the formation of the Society. It marked a turn in the history Power of Aura, being the first public gathering of visaurants since the outlawing of Aura in 574. 
Initially, the purpose of the annual meeting was simply to discuss the accomplishments of the organization and decide on the direction for the coming year. As membership grew and the organization became integral to the education about and advancement of Aura in society, it became important gathering for networking and recognizing individuals for their contributions and accomplishments and grew to last several days.

Execution

The leader of the Society opens the multi-day event at an assembly where a summary of the organization's accomplishments is presented. At the end of the assembly, the leader lights the Iridescent Torch that will remain lit for the entirety of the event. 
While the schedule of events during the meeting changes every year, there are a few traditions that always occur:
