Young Theosophists!
Are you looking to connect with other young seekers beyond the usual crowds of your lodge and national section?
The long-awaited gathering of Young Theosophists from around the world is finally here!
In June 2024, the Youth Gathering was held at the Bhowali Himalayan Study Centre in India. Last time, we explored the theme “The Flame of Theosophy – Revisiting the Fundamentals.”
What’s Up
No doubt, many of us seek to rise above the repetitive challenges of life—those difficult and often painful experiences—in order to discover our true purpose… or rather, the True Purpose of the One Life.
So that we may finally find happiness.
Whether by choice or circumstance, this path of Seeking often leads us to deep introspection and significant changes in our lifestyle, habits, and even social circles.
Along the way, we may realize that the happiness we once chased is not what we imagined. Perhaps our understanding of love, our relationships with those who come and go, and even the identities we cling to must be redefined.
In time, Theosophy guides us to a way of living—a framework to walk the Path.
If these topics resonate with you:
- The Occult Path
- Laws and Aims of the Occult Life
- The Work of the Masters
- Practices for Spiritual Development
Then you’re in for a treat!
They are the exact lecture titles to be covered!
This June, we will dive deep into The Occult Life, exploring both its Inner and Practical Aspects of the Path with our very own Pablo and Michele Sender.
Additionally, we’ll have workshops on art, storytelling, and even musical chanting!
There will also be an afternoon dedicated to volunteering, so be sure to bring a set of clothes you don’t mind getting messy,
Oh yes, sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent as well!
Join us for this transformative journey!
