Wednesdays, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. CST
January 13 – February 17 (6 classes)

This class will focus on messages sent to us through our intuitive and mindful study of “the past AS present.” Following Jungian and Theosophical principles in the study of astrology and tarot, we will focus on bringing forth our soul energy and connecting it with our physical manifestation. Learn how to allow your intuition to guide you to a more thorough understanding of your inner world and what importance this plays in your life’s mission.

We will look at aspects to our natal charts and ask particularly how these aspects enhance our healing energies or create challenges. Gwynne will analyze all participants’ charts and share them privately, as well as provide specific questions for each participant to consider. We will use breakout groups for confidential sharing.

Topics include:

• How does the study of astrology and tarot help us grow in our spiritual understanding?
• What are some of the elements in the study of energies that are represented in both Jungian and Theosophical thought?
• Analysis and work with intuitive personal connection to our astrological charts in conjunction with insights from the Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien, and Astrology: A Cosmic Science by Isabel Hickey.

Life After Death—The Astral Experience

with Pablo Sender
Mondays, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CST
January 25 – February 15 (4 classes)

At Home with Theosophy is a series of online courses focusing on the study and discussion of classical Theosophical teachings. In this course, Pablo will explore the first half of the book Death - And After? by Annie Besant. These chapters examine what happens when we die and the first stages of our afterlife experience. These stages, which take place on the astral plane, have a purifying effect on the soul, preparing it for the heavenly life that is to follow.

Suggested Cost: $60 

While we offer a sliding scale for fees, we encourage you to support the continuation of this series by making a donation of at least $60.

Registration includes on-demand access to recordings of all of the classes, which can be viewed for one week following the date they were presented.

with Ravi Ravindra
Saturdays, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. CST 
February 6 – 27,  (4 classes)

Join us for an exploration of the classical text Yoga Sutras of Patañjali, with the intention of understanding the purpose of yoga and what stands in our way of accomplishing it. Participants will be encouraged to read any translation of the Yoga Sutras and reflect upon the subtle teachings of the sage Patañjali. We will recognize that each translation is a trans-creation based on the understanding and intention of the translator. Instructor Ravi Ravindra will use his own translation and commentary as outlined in his book The Wisdom of Patañjali's Yoga Sutras. Participants will be encouraged to share their insights and questions.

Topics of discussion will include the ways in which yoga is a science for radical transformation, the eight limbs of yoga and how they apply to our lives, the elements of yogic practice, and the kleshas, or obstacles, that can stand in our way.

Each class will include a short guided meditation.

Enlightenment occurs when the many Veils of Illusion have been recognized and lifted from within ourselves. Without realizing it, these veils subtly distort our day-to-day perceptions. For example, desire veils the experience of higher love, intellect will often veil wisdom, and our perception of time tends to veil the existence of the Eternal Now. Yet when these distortions are transcended, an individual’s consciousness will invariably expand. We then begin to see reality anew.

In this four-part class, we will explore the many veils that prevent us from more fully living the life of Spirit. From this, we will examine how consciousness is changed when each veil is lifted, and the methods used to accomplish this. Specifically, participants will learn:

• The nature and origin of the Veils of Illusion, and how they shroud reality
• How the personality creates various veils that block the light of the Soul
• How one’s natal chart reveals various astrological distortions of perception
• Several methods for lifting the Veils of Illusion
• How transcending various veils is preparatory to Spiritual Initiation

March 3 – March 24 (4 classes)

Mysticism, in any of its expositions, is transformative. It invites us to move from intellectual knowing into the direct intuition or experience of the Divine – in any way we may conceive it. It is an intimate and heartfelt encounter with a spiritual reality that is hidden from normal awareness but yet available to everyone. In this class we will draw on the perceptions of renowned Christian mystics of past and present, including Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Thomas Merton and Bernadette Roberts. Inspired by the power of their piercing intellects and awakened hearts, we will dive into a mystery that transcends words and form but remains accessible in daily living. 

Each class will include the practice of contemplative prayer and suggestions on how to nurture a mystical dimension among the challenges of contemporary life.

Registration includes on-demand access to recordings of all of the classes, which can be viewed for two weeks following the date they were presented.

From 1880 to 1885, H. P. Blavatsky's teachers, Mahatmas Koot Hoomi and Morya, engaged in an extraordinary correspondence with two influential British men living and working in India. These letters were published in 1923, and since then they have become a primary sourcebook of esoteric philosophy, along with The Secret Doctrine. Their profound teachings have challenged, stimulated, and inspired genuine seekers and students of the Ancient Wisdom around the world for nearly a century.

Join this weekly online discussion group to explore the content of these letters and further your understanding of this important Theosophical text with the help of experienced students.

Suggested Cost: $100 

While we offer a sliding scale for fees, we encourage you to support the continuation of this group by making a donation of at least $100 per quarter, less than $10/week.

Walking the Theosophical Path is an online group focused on learning how to live the Theosophical teachings.

Starting on January 5, 2021, we will explore the spiritual practice presented in the First Fragment of The Voice of the Silence. This Theosophical classic, published by H. P. Blavatsky in 1889, describes a meditative approach that includes elements of the system known as nāda-yoga.

Each class will present the theory of the main topic and explain how it can be applied in daily life. Weekly exercises will be suggested and discussed to assist the participants' practice.

Pablo Sender, Ph.D., became a member of the Theosophical Society in his native Argentina and has presented Theosophical lectures, seminars, and classes around the world.
