In the PYREN there is the THOLOS (Dome), a building shaped ball, half above ground and half below ground.

Outside the Tholos will be surrounded by a peristyle of 24 columns. The cella frieze will depict scenes of the struggle of humankind to learn through science the secrets of the universe.
Inside the Tholos will include a vast panorama of an electronic macrocosm in the upper half and the microcosm, in the lower half of the sphere.

The ‘Internal’ trainees, in the final stage of study, will «enter» at the THOLOS to be initiated in the interpretation of the «secret program» that defines the «Principles of Life» Human Nature and the Universe.
In the center of the THOLOS will be the crystal “ESTIA SPHERE”, (estia=hearth), 3 meters in diameter, within which burns a torch indicating the sanctuary LIGHT OF THE Tholos.
The “External students” can not enter from the ZOSTER to the pyrEn of the KYTTARON, but only when made “Internal”.
