with Gwynne Mayer
Saturday, August 8, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. CDT

We dream in symbols. It’s a language we may not understand fully, but the symbology is important to remember. Many of the principles of the dream world come to us from our unconscious. Understanding the personal connection and how to keep track of these dreams is extremely important.  If we devote time to working with our dreams, we will find our soul’s true purpose. This is not a workshop for analyzing dreams; it is for exploring our dreams from our inner worlds and perceptions.

Topics include:

• Where do dreams come from?
• What do symbols mean?
• How do we keep a dream journal?
• Examples of dreams and working with putting ourselves in another’s dream
• Lucid dreaming: being active in one’s own dream

• Experience simple exercises for better grounding and embodiment and learn why this is so important
• Learn how we are moving from the 3rd chakra, “love of power,” to 4th chakra, “power of love,” as a species, even though it might not look that way

• Find a positive, life-affirming map for your life and for the world we are creating together

with Ravi Ravindra
Saturdays, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. CDT
August 1 – 29 (4 classes) No class August 22 

The spiritual search is defined by a desire to learn why you have been created and what the meaning of your life is, and it’s an urge that is embedded in every person’s soul. The general religious and philosophical institutions often interfere with serious search, owing to their commitment to a specific religious perspective. In this class, we will explore how different religious perspectives can assist our search, and how they interfere.

If we can explore the perspectives of all religious traditions with sympathy and compassion, it is possible to go beyond any particular expression as all the great sages have insisted that Truth or God is beyond expression.

Ravi Ravindra is an author and professor emeritus at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he served as a professor in comparative religion, philosophy, and physics. A lifetime member of the Theosophical Society, Ravi has taught many courses at the School of the Wisdom in Adyar and at the Krotona Institute in Ojai, California. He was a member of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, a fellow of the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla, and the founding director of the Threshold Award for Integrative Knowledge.

The Power of Thought
with Pablo Sender
Mondays, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CDT
August 3 – 24 (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 Sender will explore Annie Besant’s book, Thought-Power: Its Control and Culture. This book was one of the first to present the West with a clear and systematic study of the hidden power inherent in our thinking. Its study will help us gain a deeper knowledge of our mental nature and teach us to master this important power in order to stimulate our spiritual growth and help others do so, too.

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. He is the author of Evolution of the Higher Consciousness, and his articles have been published in several Theosophical journals.  Learn more at his website: www.pablosender.com.

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.

Wednesdays, 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. CDT
August 19 - September 23 (6 classes)

Our minds and bodies have to be centered in awareness, objective and impartial in observation, so as to receive messages from our intuition and our higher spiritual forces. We achieve this by allowing our egos to be mediators of the evolution of consciousness, rather than controlling factors in our development. Astrology and tarot can aid this process by determining the ‘times’ and factors that go into each day of our walk along the path of consciousness. This course will cover how we relate to others, how we adapt to the ‘times,’ and how our energies are under our control.

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 John Cianciosi
Mondays, 7:00 - 8:15 p.m. CDT
September 14 – October 5 (4 classes) 

In this course we will explore the Buddha’s discovery of the fundamental laws that govern existence. The Buddha taught the principle of conditioned arising to explain how things come to be without the need for an all-powerful being to orchestrate existence. This principle applies to karma, rebirth, the continuity of samsara, and the path to liberation. These laws of nature, just like laws of physics, operate regardless of whether we know them. However, by understanding these principals we are better able to direct our lives towards enlightenment.

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.
