Krotona School of Theosophy
Since its founding in 1967, the Krotona
School of Theosophy has been helping students deepen their understanding of
theosophy, the ancient wisdom, in its many forms, and has encouraged them to
live a spiritually oriented life. The school emphasizes "transformative
education" which focuses on spiritual renewal. Such studies lead students to
orient themselves to eternal truths in a changing world.
The school, an integral part of the Krotona Institute, supports the work of The Theosophical Society and its three objects, which are concerned with: 1) The unity of all people; 2) The study of comparative religion, philosophy and science; and 3) The investigation of unexplained laws of nature and our latent powers. School programs reflect the peace and special presence that make Krotona the spiritual center it is.
Seekers in harmony with our aims are welcome. Write, phone, fax or email for information and reservations.

We Are Grateful
Herbert A Kern, a Theosophist and industrialist, generously supported the Krotona Institute of Theosophy from 1958 to 1967. Since 1967 the Kern Foundation, with Herbert's son John as advising trustee, has supported the School with generous grants, enabling it to operate at its present level, bringing lecturers to Krotona, and offering scholarships. We are grateful for Herbert Kern's vision and for John's dedication to supporting the School over the years.
Emily B Sellon, who shared her vast knowledge of theosophy with her students, and John A Sellon, an investor, were visionaries who devoted their lives to theosophy. It was their wish to support the Krotona School of Theosophy. We are grateful to their sons, Peter, Michael, and Jeffrey for their generosity and dedication to the support of the School in their parents’ names
