National Center
The Theosophical Society in America is a section of the worldwide Theosophical Society founded in New York in 1875 with its international headquarters at Adyar, Chennai (Madras), India. The American section has its national center in Wheaton, Illinois, on a beautiful estate called Olcott in honor of the American co-founder and first President of the Society, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott. Olcott is the administrative headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America, but it is also a place where members and the public may participate in onsite courses, workshops, retreats, lectures, and seminars on a wide variety of spiritual topics. It is a busy center and a beautiful place, providing a focal point for the energies and efforts of members throughout the American Section.
Olcott is also a symbol of the aspiration and the commitment that brought it into being and that continue to sustain it as a place of wise inspiration, strength, and beauty.
The staff at Olcott consists of approximately fifty employees who carry on the work of the national center, all of whom are dedicated to the unique work of the Theosophical Society in America.
The Theosophical Society's campus buildings are wheelchair accessible.
