International
Theosophy Conference on Blavatsky & Social Responsibility:
August 11 –
August 14 Santa Barbara, California
Theosophy and Social Responsibility
Applying the Head and Heart Teachings of H.P. Blavatsky
The aim of the 2016 Conference is to explore the active connection between
Theosophical teachings and social responsibility. Guided by the principles and
metaphysical perspectives given in The Secret Doctrine
and other writings of H.P.B. and those of her close co-workers, conference
participants will discuss how fundamental ethical questions reflected in
contemporary social conditions might be answered. How might students of
Theosophy understand and practice social responsibility? What thoughts and
deeds might help us reduce suffering and improve the quality of life for all
that lives? Do the teachings of Theosophy, in particular the messages of H.P.
Blavatsky, indicate a duty to help others? The location and program of the
Conference, at La Casa de Maria, will provide an inspiring and regenerative
opportunity for both formal and informal discussion in a community of
Theosophical learning.

International Conference -
Modernity and Esoteric Networks：Theosophy, Arts, Literature and Politics - March 7
and 8, 2017 - National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka
Theosophy
had been underestimated unfairly, or to put it correctly, neglected by
academics for a long time. It had been regarded as a bogus Buddhism, and not an
appropriate theme for serious study. However, this academic tendency began to
change towards the last decade of the 20th century owing to the development of
several research fields: investigations on New Religious Movements, cultural
studies of modern literature and art, and religious and political studies of
the South Asian region; the shift was also due to the establishment of the
academic discipline of Western Esotericism. In the 21st century, this trend has
become evident in the growing number of scholarly publications and in the
holding of international conferences in Europe, the United States an Israel,
with Japan added to the list this year.
