with Gwynne Mayer
Wednesdays,  7:00 - 8:00 PM CDT (UTC-5)
March 18 – April 22 (6 classes)

Spiritual emergencies occur when the personality cannot get out of the way of the soul. We will use our intuitive understanding of astrology and tarot to discuss the work of the personality and the role it must play in order to satisfy the soul’s work. During this study we will focus on relationships, career, creativity, self-care, and healing. Astrological charts and synastry (relationship) charts will be prepared and then discussed in a confidential, interactive group setting. This is not a class teaching astrology or tarot, and a basic understanding of each subject will be needed to participate. Recommended texts include The Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien and A Cosmic Science by Isabele Hickey.

Registrants are committed to attend most classes and complete homework assignments.

Life after Death and Reincarnation

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 five chapters of Blavatsky’s introductory text, The Key to Theosophy, which has been a main source of Theosophical knowledge since its publication. In the selected chapters, Blavatsky examines the journey of the soul after the death of the body, what aspects of our former lives are of spiritual value, and the process of reincarnation of the soul in a new personality

with Ravi Ravindra
Saturdays, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. CDT [UTC-05] / 8:30 – 9:30 p.m. IST [UTC+05:30]
May 23 – June 13 (4 classes)

As humans, we are innately interested in the external beauty of nature and the intricate laws governing the whole cosmos, as well as the internal questions about who we are and why we are here. Most of us do not have enough time, energy, and training to practice both scientific research and spiritual search seriously. However, so many of the truly great scientists were very spiritually oriented, and so many of the great sages were awestruck by the beauty in nature.  In this class, we will explore not what gets dogmatically classified as ‘science’ or ‘religion,’ but rather the goals, intentions, attitudes, and practices of those engaged in scientific research and spiritual search.

Ravi Ravindra is an author and professor emeritus at Dalhousie University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he served as 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.

Temple of Krishna and Radha at Mirtola ashram by Sumita Roy Dutta licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0

This ongoing reading and discussion group meets to study the teachings of Sri Madhava Ashish (1920-1997) and his gurus. Born in Scotland, Ashish joined the RAF and served in India, staying on after WWII to pursue the spiritual life. He became a disciple of Sri Krishna Prem and assumed leadership of the Mirtola Ashram after Prem’s death in 1965.

We are currently studying  Man, the Measure of All Things by Sri Krishna Prem and Sri Madhava Ashish. This book throws a new and searching light upon the Stanzas of Dzyan, and students of H.P. Blavatsky may find it coincides with the material written in The Secret Doctrine.

“This is the real purpose of the ancient cosmogonies,” say the authors, “to invite us to turn our gaze inwards to the source and origin both of the ‘outer’ universe of phenomena and of the ‘inner’ universe of consciousness, … and above all, to fathom the ultimate mystery of selfhood.” Join us as we continue our investigation of this fascinating book, a study for all serious Theosophists.

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.

The most fundamental Theosophical teaching states that, underlying the diversity and separation we perceive, there is an ultimate unity. The realization of this One Reality, our eternal and true Self, brings us beyond the realm of conflict and sorrow. Nondualism refers to this state of consciousness.

The primary purpose of this online discussion group is to explore the nondual approach to life, with an emphasis on its practical application. Each meeting will include time to read and discuss teachings on non-duality, and time to share our experiences with exercises suggested for growth in self-knowledge and self-awareness.

We are currently studying the book I Am by Jean Klein, which consists of dialogues between seekers and the author. From the book’s introduction: “We know ourselves only in relation to something. We only know a qualified ‘I.’ When we say ‘I am’ the mind demands ‘What am I? I am what?’ This book is about the ‘I am’ prior to all qualification, what we are before the intrusion of the mind.” New registrants are welcome at any time!

Registration includes access to recordings of the meetings.

Emotions and the Spiritual Path

Tuesdays, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. CDT [UTC-5]
April 7 – June 23        New series starts April 7

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

Starting on April 7, 2020, we will begin a new series exploring Emotions and the Spiritual Path, based on the writings of Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, who propose practical ways to harmonize this important aspect of human nature. Each session 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. Each meeting closes with meditation.

The practical teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949) require ongoing self-observation over many years. The purpose of such self-observation is gradual freedom from our identification with fears and desires in their many forms. This approach to self-development, known as the Fourth Way, harmonizes traditional schools based on the body, the mind, and the emotions. We come to realize that we are not the body-brain-ego organism we have been conditioned to believe is our true identity. Rather, we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience.

Fourth Way students typically organize themselves into groups that meet regularly to share their self-observations and to support efforts to remember themselves in their daily practice. This ongoing effort is known as the “Work.” In this weekly online group, we read and discuss selections from the works of Sy Ginsburg and Maurice Nicoll, both authors and practitioners of Fourth Way concepts. Our primary focus is practical rather than intellectual, and facilitators design exercises based on the source material. In addition, we connect our work to Theosophical principles.

Group members are committed to attend most meetings, work on weekly exercises, and share their experiences with the group. Group size is limited to 15 to facilitate discussion, and a wait list is available when we reach capacity. If you would like to see if the group is right for you before registering, email webinars@theosophical.org to ask about sitting in.

Registration includes access to recordings of the meetings.
