The Power of Awareness

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
February 10, 2:00 PM • Presented by Pablo Sender, Ph.D.

Most of us deal with the challenges of daily living by means of physical, emotional and intellectual responses. Although this approach may be appropriate to cope with situations on a practical level, it is rarely able to address the root cause of the difficulties we encounter. But there is a faculty higher than the ability to act, feel and think, which can bring about a fundamental change in ourselves and in society. Continue reading

Theosophy and Transformation

Special Saturday Workshop
February 9, 1:00 PM • Presented by Pablo Sender, Ph.D.

Theosophical teachings have great depth and provide a sound explanation of life, human nature, and our evolutionary journey.

Kharma/Dharma // Dharma/Kharma

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
February 3, 2:00 PM • Group Study hosted by Lee Haga

Fundamentals of Theosophy: It can be said that “Kharma” and “dharma” represent two sides of the same “coin.” These two ancient laws are intrinsically linked as the primary, impersonal forces shaping all past, present, and future life cycles. Kharma has often been defined as “fate” and “Dharma” as duty, but these definitions can be sometimes misleading. In Theosophy, Kharma expresses the impartial, scientific law of “cause and effect,” or ” for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction on all of the planes”. Dharma refers to the inner truth of an individual as it unfolds. Please join us as we explore these two profound laws.

Lee Haga has been a member of the Theosophical Society in America since 1979, She enjoys moderating group discussions on esoteric topics.

The Cyclic Law of the Universe

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
December 9, 2:00 PM • Group study hosted by Lee Haga

Fundamentals of Theosophy: This Cyclic Law also includes the Identity with the Oversoul, which states that we are each connected as sparks of the Divine to the Universal Oversoul. As such, every spark, soul, or being must travel through its own specifically designated time span, or cycle, in this world until that spark is “extinguished” and returns to be absorbed into the Oversoul.

Chakra System • Wise Use of Our Life’s Energy

Sunday Afternoon Public Programs
December 2, 2:00 PM • Presented by Judith Sugg, Ph.D.

In Theosophy, we talk about the physical body and etheric form (the energy body) as enabling experience on the physical plane.
