WS 1: Peace in Action: A Theosophical Approach to Service and Self-Awareness

Step into the heart of Theosophy's practical application. This interactive workshop isn't just about theory—it's about practice. We'll begin by briefly showcasing the impactful service projects of TS Philippines, demonstrating how Theosophical principles are put into action to cultivate harmony in our communities.

From there, we will shift focus to you. Engage in guided exercises and collaborative discussions designed to hone your self-awareness and equip you with practical tools for navigating conflicts. Discover how a deeper understanding of your own consciousness can transform challenging situations into opportunities for growth, both within yourself and in the world round you.

Join us to learn how to be a more effective agent of peace, one mindful action at a time.

WS 2: Education for Life: Seeds of Gratitude

This workshop invites us to water the seeds of gratitude within. Gratitude is a simple yet powerful practice with immense impact—one that can alter how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world we inhabit.

How to learn to listen inwardly and learn to cultivate a grateful heart, where life and living become offerings? Existence is a miraculous and mysterious reality, and gratitude is the thread that reconnects us to everything that sustains us. It deepens our relationship with the world, expands our capacity for love, joy, awe, and abundance, and reminds us of the beauty of being alive.

Gratitude is a flow: the more we experience it, the more it grows within us. Becoming aware of all that we receive reawakens us to the truth of interbeing — that we are part of a vast, living whole. This awareness transforms our relationship with ourselves, with each other, and with the natural world.

No matter how we call or perceive, That One responds to each of us as we seek.

WS 2: Education for Life: One Heart and Interbeing 

This workshop explores the quiet inner world where all life meets and the subtle threads that connect us to the earth, to each other, and to the greater mystery from which everything arises. We do not stand apart from life – we are woven into it. We are not isolated individuals, but part of an evolving, living whole. ‘One Heart and Interbeing’ invites participants to recognize how we are held, nourished, and shaped by the greater web of existence. We begin to see how our actions ripple outwards, influencing the world around us in meaningful ways.

Celebrating 150 Years of Light and Legacy

In 1875, in a dimly lit room in New York City, two seekers—Helena Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott, a visionary reformer—lit a spark that would ignite minds across the world. They called it Theosophy, an ancient wisdom reborn, a path beyond dogma, beyond borders, beyond illusion.

For 150 years, Theosophy has whispered an ancient truth: we are not separate, but sparks of the same eternal flame. Join us on a journey through time and across continents to uncover the forgotten teachings and voices of seekers—past and present—that have ignited minds, sparked revolutions, and reshaped our understanding of reality itself.

In the beginning: GLOBAL MEDITATION

“Art, Theosophy, and Adyar”

Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Theosophical Society’s deep engagement with artistic practices generated a wide range of creative outcomes. Beyond the artistic activities nurtured within its lodges worldwide, the International Headquarters in Adyar became a vibrant centre of creative energy, where an early art residency once flourished.

After more than a century, the TS Adyar Art Residency has been revitalised with Christine Ödlund and Fredrik Söderberg—two prominent Swedish artists whose work is closely connected to occult studies and Theosophy. In this conversation, we will reflect on their experience in Adyar—known as the Masters’ Home—the painting workshop they led at the School of the Wisdom, and the new works they created during their stay. 

This session offers a rare opportunity to explore how Theosophy and the unique environment of Adyar continue to inspire and shape contemporary artistic practice.
