Centennial Celebration – Sunday, May 1, 2016, 1-4 pm: Guest Speakers from National TSA

Centennial Flyer test Join us as we celebrate 100 years since we were charted as a lodge in the Theosophical Society in America (TSA)! Free and open to the public, this special event will feature a talk about the evolution of human consciousness- how the Ancient Wisdom describes its unfoldment in this time of change. Tim Boyd, President of the International Theosophical Society and of the TSA, will give the talk.

The TSA Archivist, Janet Kerschner, is also coming with a PowerPoint presentation, tracking the history of our lodge in Baltimore, using old photographs and documents. There will be time for conversation and browsing at the end of the program. All welcome!

Sunday, April 24, 2016, 2-4 pm: Light on the Path, Part 3 ……. Pablo Sender, DVD and Discussion

PabloSender Join us for more insight into the “rules” of this theosophical classic for those seeking enlightenment, walking the way of the disciple. It is said that Mabel Collins wrote in this book what she remembered from an out-of-body experience. She was taken to a hall where the wall was covered in jewels, and those jewels were the words that she remembered and wrote down in Light on the Path.

Pablo Sender is a gifted teacher, who explains the rules in a way that is easy to understand. (Following them is a different story!) It is not necessary to have attended the earlier lectures on Parts 1 and 2.

The text of Light on the Path is available online for free, thanks to the Theosophical Society lodge in Pasadena, CA.

Sunday, April 17, 2016, 2-4 pm: Brushes of Fury …….Kimberly Sheridan

Kimberly describes her program: “In this discussion the artist will talk about whether her work can bridge the gap between physical and spiritual realms when it comes to relieving suffering. Is it possible for any act of selfless compassion to heal not just the grief of the living, but change the fate of those who died violently as well?”

Kimberly Sheridan is the lead artist of the Million Gun Victims March (MGVM). You can learn more about MGVM and view her work online.
