Our Mission
A Theosophical New Year
"Let no one imagine that it is a mere fancy, the attaching of importance to the birth of the year . . . The astral life of the earth is young and strong between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Those who form their wishes now will have added strength to fulfill them consistently." H.P.Blavatsky
​
Join us as we explore what HPB means about the opening period of the New Year and its significance for us psychically, mentally, and spiritually. At this time of psychic and spiritual renewal, we will also use meditation to consider resolutions for the Soul - both personal and collective.
​
​​The Theosophical Society in Detroit encourages open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life, and help people explore spiritual transformation.
​
Since its founding in 1875, the Theosophical Society has stood for freedom of thought and respect for all people. To join the Society, you are required to have no specific beliefs, only to state your agreement with the Society's three Objects:
​​
The Three Objects of the Theosophical Society are:
-
To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.​
-
To encourage the comparative study of religion, philosophy and science.
-
To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.
We further our understanding of theosophical (or spiritual) ideas through on-going programs.
Friday programs offer a variety of interesting lectures, presentations, and facilitated videos.
Did you miss a Friday Night talk? Many of our presentations are now being recorded, and are on YouTube.

“It is said that whenever we practice Dharma it should always be pervaded by compassion at all times – in the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of our practice. Compassion is the source, the real essence of the entire path.”
- Khenpo Appey Rinpoche
