The Special Members' Event has been scheduled for July 18th, it has changed its time from the morning; it is now after lunch at 1:00 pm. This time has been confirmed with the Office of Tibet. Due to the short time between the end of the program and the Members’ Event it is recommended that members do not leave the theater. We have arranged with the Harris Theater to provide for a boxed vegetarian lunch for purchase. Check back on the website for updates as to cost of the lunch. Attendance at the event will be restricted to members of the Theosophical Society who have purchased tickets for the Harris Theater panel discussion.

The Theosophical Order of Service would like to remind you of the 3rd International TOS Workers’ Conference that will take place July 23–26, 2013, at Olcott, the national center of the TSA, in Wheaton, immediately following the TSA’s Summer National Convention. All TOS office bearers, liaisons, and workers at the international, national, or local level are welcome to attend. Be prepared to be actively involved throughout the conference!
During the conference, we will review the current international plan of action and ensure that it takes into account the needs of each country for 2014–18. Another important goal of the gathering is to identify ways of giving greater support to Theosophists in their service endeavors. By involving each participant in implementing part of the plan of action, we aim to deepen links among active TOS workers and increase the effectiveness of their collaboration.
There will be a variety of programs and workshops offered, such as “Deep Listening†and “Social Action as Spiritual Practice.†Keynote addresses, “Creative Meditation: Balancing Inner and Outer Action†and “The TOS One Hundred Years from Now,†will be given by Maria Parisen and Vicente Hao Chin, Jr., respectively.
For further information about the program, the cost of accommodation and meals, and application forms, please follow the links below or visit the TOS Web site at www.theoservice.org.

The Theory of Everything, a new opera with an original libretto by Nancy Rhodes and music by John David Earnest, explores ideas of science, spirituality, the nature of consciousness and our search for meaning. The story is inspired by physics’ superstring theory which postulates the simultaneous existence of at least 10 dimensions, and that everything in the universe---from our bodies to the farthest star---is composed of vibrating energy.
