"Symposium" comes from the Greek word symposion, which comes from sympinein which means "to drink together." In ancient Greece the word conveyed the idea of a convivial party (as after a banquet) with music and conversation...the conversation being the focal point with a free interchange of ideas. The famous Greek Plato wrote a book called the Symposium which records several banquet eulogies and presents the conversations that the phenomenological world can be viewed, as objects of mystical contemplation and as stimuli of mystical emotion. Such discourses and commentaries have led to the modern usage of the term Symposium to be a formal gathering of experts that elucidate on various specialized topics. Once again Elysium Gates in this area is blending the old with the new, by gathering member sites that reflect spiritual, metaphysical and religious beliefs and contemplations.
