Welcome to the Theosophical Society
In 1875, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society in New York. The Theosophical Society is part of a universal, ethical and intellectual Movement, which has been active throughout the ages.
Theosophy is a synthesis of science, philosophy and religion, the three different ways to investigate and explain life.
In the submenu on the left, you will find an explanation about our task, the link to our webshop and the news archive of the Theosophical Society.

Point Loma Convivium* 2012 - Theosophic Insight in Science, Philosophy, Religion and Art
Point Loma Theosophy: its contribution to the inner growth of Humanity in its global and individual inner transformation.
Dear Friends of Theosophy,
Herewith we invite you to a four days' gathering, organized nearby the former Theosophical Headquarters at Point Loma in San Diego, California, August 2 - 5, 2012.
The POINT LOMA CONVIVIUM is a gathering sharing the core principles and ideas that formed the unique Theosophical community at Point Loma from 1898-1942. Presentations include expositions of the important, innovative role Theosophic ideas played and still play in Religion, Philosophy, Science and Art.
These days are meant to give – in active 'all-visitors' conversation – form and soul to the theme of this Convivium. A more detailed program will follow soon.
More information can be found on the Point Loma Theosophy Network website.
