Isis Resende – Presentation

Saturday, July 12,  10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

“Challenges and Opportunities for the Theosophical Society to Help the world”

The Theosophical Society is a project of “Great Hierarchy” to help the world. What exactly does this phrase mean? In what way can we help the world. What did the sages who inspired HPB and HSO expect from the Theosophical Society at the time it was founded, and what do they expect from us now? What changes are important in the world today? Is fragmentation one of the things demanding change? Can we help if we are fragmented ourselves? These are the questions we are going to think about together.

Isis Resende - Workshop

Tuesday, July 15,  9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

"The Sacred Path for Peace in the World"

The Voice of the Silence, a book written by HPB, tells us that all human beings possess Alaya, unity with the One Great Soul, but even so few profit from it. In fact, the Divine Nature is sleeping in most of us. Our many miseries are one result of it, fragmentation of society is another. How can we awaken the Divine Nature in us? Religions and philosophy may help us to proceed in this direction and this is called in the Theosophical Literature the Path, and I would say, the Sacred Path that enables us to be living as Spirits that have a body rather than as bodies that have a Spirit. We will be pondering about the suggestions that the Sages gave us in order to be able to help our human Society and to attain real and lasting happiness.,
