Lodges & Study Centers
Lodges are formally organized groups consisting of at least seven members of the Society who meet regularly to study Theosophy and to present Theosophical programs for the public. Study Centers are less formal groups consisting of at least three members of the Society who also meet regularly to study Theosophy and who may offer occasional public programs. For information on how to facilitate your group, contact the national secretary.
