Carol Stream, August 11, 2007
Programs at the Theosophical Society in America in Wheaton,
Illinois, have been finalized and its my pleasure to announce
that Tony Lysy and myself will conduct another class this
fall. It is billed as an "Open Discussion Group"
and is meant to be an open exploration into fundamental
questions about the nature of Theosophy as a doctrine, an
attitude and a claim of being the synthesis of science,
religion and philosophy, or whatever else we think Theosophy
is or should be. We intend this class to be an educational
experience of the first order through primarily dialogue
and discussion, but also study, presentations and individualized
attention to calibrate an intensification process of understanding
and appropriation.
For the many other classes and activities that will happen
at the TS this fall see the full
program.
Find below more specifics on the "Open Discussion
Group," TheosoFEST 2007 and the class "Echoes
from the Gnosis: An Introduction to Gnosis and Gnosticism,"
which will be webcast live.
Please contact Ruthan Fowler if you like to participate
in any of these classes.
