July 10 - August 14 (6 classes)

Spiritual growth and the development of intuition go hand in hand. To properly interpret what we pick up intuitively, we must engage in practical spiritual work that helps us translate symbols, sounds, and connections to our higher Self. Use of natal astrological charts, tarot cards, numerology, and the I Ching can be helpful in this process. We will look at these areas of study and learn practical exercises that will help us develop our intuition.

It is not necessary to be proficient in any intuitive techniques to join this class. Personal charts will be available to students as needed to foster intuition.

Gwynne Mayer, MA, has forty years of post-graduate work in the areas of Jungian analysis, Gestalt therapy, child psychology, and educational systems.

with Ravi Ravindra

Saturdays, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. CST [UTC-06] / 9:30 – 10:30 p.m. IST [UTC+05:30]

November 23 – December 14

The spiritual teaching of Christ, like other serious teachings, calls for a radical transformation of our whole being, amounting to a new birth, born of the Spirit. As the Gospel of Philip says, Christ came not to make us Christians, but to make us Christ. In order for us to realize the inner Christ we must gain freedom not for myself but from myself. For the sake of this spiritual awakening, an impartial and deep self-inquiry is needed.

Only those who are able to practice the discipline taught by Christ can be regarded as his disciples. The teaching of Christ, like all other transformational teachings, is not easy to practice. As he himself said, “He who is near me is near the fire; he who is far from me is far from the Kingdom.” (Gospel of Thomas)

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.

Man, the Measure of All Things  

Facilitators: Anand Jagota, Sujata Jagota, Elena Dovalsantos, and Sy Ginsburg

Every Monday, 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. CDT [UTC-05] / 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. IST [UTC+5:30]

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.

“We are considering the universe as a tissue of psychic experience,” say the authors. “Our categories are psychic ones, and with their help we have attempted to show that the process of cosmic manifestation is entirely a movement within the unity of conscious being toward the achievement of self-conscious experience.” 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 body of correspondence with two influential British men living and working in India. These letters were published in 1923, and since then have become a primary sourcebook of the 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 online discussion group to explore weekly the content of these letters and further your understanding of this important Theosophical text with the help of experienced students.

Every Monday, 1:00 - 2:15 p.m. CDT [UTC-05]  

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.

On February 25th we started the study and discussion of the book Nothing to Grasp by Joan Tollifson to assist us in this endeavor. Readers say, “The book crackles with the energy of clarity on every page,” and “I haven’t been this excited about a non-duality book in a long time. [Tollifson has] a remarkable ability to avoid common conceptual confusions, and to explain why we often fall into them.” New registrants are welcome at any time.

Edward Moskowitz, Ph.D., is a long-time student of science, Theosophy, Advaita, and meditation.
Pablo Sender, Ph.D., has presented Theosophical lectures, seminars, and classes around the world and is the author of Evolution of the Higher Consciousness.

"Knowledge comes in visions, first in dreams…” – H.P. Blavatsky

Our dreams speak to us in symbolic language, and the interpretation of these symbols allows us to access the knowledge of the Spirit (Self) that uses our dreams to communicate messages to us subconsciously. Sharing our dreams in a group setting can help us recognize and interpret what our subconscious is telling us.

The first part of each session will be devoted to the study of dreams as approached by Jung, Freud, Ashish and others. This presentation and discussion will be recorded and shared with registered members of Dream Circle.

In the remaining part of each session, participants are encouraged to bring a dream and present its context, the life event that may have stimulated it, and the emotions as felt within the dream and upon awakening. Discussion of the dream is then opened up to the other members, who begin with, “If this was my dream …” and give their interpretation of the dream’s meaning. Interpretations cover many levels of a dream, including the mundane, higher Self, spiritual and symbolic, and often uncover exciting revelations of issues that may have been troubling or confusing.
