Breathe into Being
Awakening to Who You Really Are
by
Dennis Lewis
Following up on author Dennis Lewis' previous books on breathing, this
represents his most straightforward, nurturing approach to the subject.
Divided into brief, accessible chapters, the book features short,
simple breathing exercises that lead readers to a profound awareness of
their essential being through the miracle of the breath as it manifests
in the body. Lewis presents breathing as an ever-present gateway to
awakening to the true self. When ordering online or by phone, use the code ENEWS to receive the discount.

THE AMERICAN FAMILY TREE OF THEOSOPHY
By Dorothy Bell
The aim of this research has been to produce something accessible, simple and useful. It is an initiative of the President, Betty Bland, in response to those members at the Joy Mills Krotona Invitational 2009 who expressed interest in finding out more about the bigger picture of the Theosophical movement in America - beyond our own organization - The Theosophical Society in America [Adyar]. So the following diagrams, while overlapping and becoming more complex, are work in progress, attempting to describe in a restricted mode of presentation and from a range of sources, some of the significant events of the past that have shaped the American Family Tree of Theosophy. They provide a springboard for browsers to continue the exploration for themselves. Read more

CHUSHUL ORPHANAGE: Construction begins!
This is quite an exciting time for us at the TOS. The construction on the building additions to the Chushul Orphanage have begun! It has been 2 years since we began planning the improvements at the orphanage and first asked you to contribute. Your response has been more than gratifying. At every stage, TOS members and nonmembers have been most generous and supportive of the effort. A month ago I announced that we had received a $5000 matching grant offer that would extend until July 26th. If we succeed in raising that amount, we would have enough to complete our expanded construction plan. Read more

UPKEEP AT OLCOTT
For many years, the 80 year-old Rogers Building has had
problems with water seeping into the walls and the basement area. This summer,
crews have been working all over the building waterproofing the foundation and
tuckpointing the walls. Major digging has been done on the west and north sides
of the building to install a new sump pump and drain tiles. Although this work is long overdue, it will help to ensure that our national headquarters will last for a
long time to come. We hope to have this work completed before the beginning of
our Summer National Gathering. If you would like to help support the work we are
doing you can donate here.
