YOUR OWN
THEOSOPHY
GROUP STARTS HERE
A DO IT YOURSELF GUIDE
A GUIDE TO STARTING
YOUR OWN THEOSOPHY GROUP
These are suggestions and
pointers for forming
your
own independent Theosophy Group and
not
instructions on how to form a branch of a
larger
Theosophical organisation.
The subject of affiliation
to a larger body is
covered
but as affiliation may mean compromise
and
nobody owns Theosophy anyway, we leave
that
decision entirely up to you
Getting Started
A Small informal
Group – A good place to
start and you may wish to keep it this way.
Travel light –
don’t get bogged down with formality and administration as this saps energy and
nobody wants to be hassled with that sort of stuff these days. Of course if
you’re a frustrated jobsworth who gets a buzz from
controlling people and bureaucracy and likes a fancy title then the sky’s the
limit but don’t expect to attract many members.
The Basics
The essentials are
somewhere to meet and some Theosophy to study. You may prefer not to bother
with membership fees and operate a ‘contribution at meetings to cover costs’
arrangement. This means that things like constitutions aren’t needed in the
early stages and the finances can be kept on the trustworthy person, cash book
and biscuit tin basis for a while at least. There is a good argument for
staying like this for a long as possible.
If you do wish to
open a bank account for the group, the bank will require a copy of your
constitution and possibly a copy of a resolution to open the account and
personal details of all the signatories. The account would be a Treasurer
Account and all banks provide an information leaflet for this. There is a
sample constitution farther down this page. By adopting a version of this
constitution, you will have upgraded from informal group to an Unincorporated
Association of Members and will consequently have more responsibilities. Yes,
the biscuit tin does have something going for it.
Where to Meet
Meeting in
someone’s home is a good arrangement but if this is not practical then the main
local library, community centre or even leisure centre may have cheap rooms for
hire. We are talking here about a place to meet for study and discussion and
not necessarily to conduct lectures.
The smoking ban has
made pubs slightly more viable but this is rarely an atmosphere of study.
However, some pubs may have a suitable room for hire.
A Name
A name for the
group may be useful but not immediately essential. Names such as;
Anytown Theosophy Crew
Anytown Theosophy Group
Anytown Theosophists
sound informal,
whereas Anytown Theosophy Study Group sounds a bit intimidating and dour as an
overall title although the term study group is perfectly appropriate for a
group within a group.
Some Theosophy to
Study
As for some
Theosophy to study, there is plenty of free stuff on the internet which you can
download and copy, so there is no need to pay for anything in the early stages.
Even many of the definitive Theosophical texts are online. You can also buy
Theosophical books online but be wary of anyone trying to make money out of
Theosophy.
These are just
suggestions;

Publicity
Publicising a Theosophy Group
before we had the Internet
Those were the days
The first port of
call is the internet to trawl for local directories which offer a free listing.
If you can put a webpage up to say a bit your group and link it to directory
listings this should be quite effective. You can also raise the profile by
sending your webpage details as a link to other Theosophy websites. A group
picture of members enjoying themselves will make your group more approachable
to enquirers.
Fewer people now
read the local paper than in the past but it may be worth enquiring as to
whether the paper has a free listing once a week for religious, voluntary and
charity events. Some free newspapers also offer this.
There may be
opportunities to put a free poster up in the local libraries, community &
leisure centres and possibly New Age shops.
If you have a
photocopying facility available, you could run off some A5 flyers and leave
them at appropriate venues.
Paying for
advertising is very expensive and not an exact science in terms of returns.
Even some large established Theosophical Groups never pay for advertising. You
may, however, be able to obtain a moderately priced listing in a local New Age
magazine.
Building up an
E-Mailing List
This is absolutely
essential and something that you can start from day one. It’s just as easy to
email 500 people as 5, so if someone shows the slightest interest, get their
email address. Always send the emails out on BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), which
keeps the email addresses confidential and prevents some joker from
hi-jacking your list.
Affiliation
There are larger
Theosophical organizations to which you could affiliate. This is entirely
optional and you may wish to remain an independent outfit. Please remember that
nobody owns Theosophy or Theosophical ideas and you can develop your own
approach and interpretation. Don’t be overawed by tradition, lineage or claimed
spiritual authority. Many in the Theosophical Movement now believe that the
centralized, hierarchical Theosophical organizations have had their day and
that the future of Theosophy lies with smaller independent groups who run their
own show.
One thing to be
careful about is the level of control that you might be giving away when
joining a larger body. Be particularly careful about giving anyone any say
whatsoever in your finances or the power to dictate who can or can’t be a
member, and never give an outsider the right to chair your committee meetings
or AGM.
Please note that
being an independent group does not preclude you from taking part in events such
as Theosophy Summer Schools or Conventions in collaboration with other
Theosophy groups. The rise of the internet does however mean that such
gatherings are becoming rarer.
A Half Way House
If having weighed
up the pros and cons of affiliation, you decide to remain an Independent
Theosophy Group, there is still plenty of opportunity to form informal links
with other individual groups within the broader Theosophical Movement. This can
be with a group within reasonable travelling distance of your own or even with
one on the other side of the world, which you may have found on the internet.
Opening up the
channels of communication is easy as most Theosophy Groups are always glad to
hear from other Theosophy Groups. It also helps if your webpage includes
pictures of your members enjoying themselves.
No Free Lunch
Of course, it goes
without saying that you should to be very skeptical about accepting assistance
from any organization if that assistance involves buying their stuff.
Put simply these are the questions to ask
when considering affiliation;
1) What will you pay for the privilege of
affiliation?
2) What do you get in return?
3) What level of control are you giving
away?
4) Are you expected to buy their stuff?
5) If you do buy their stuff, where does
the money go?
_______________
A More Structured Group
The move from
informal group to structured entity, which hires venues for events, to which
the public are invited is a big one and not one to be taken lightly. Some
active groups have folded after making the move, as it was inappropriate. Think
carefully about whether the new body would be viable and who’s going to do the
work. Don’t be coerced from outside, only you know your circumstances.
The Group Format
The usual format,
for an interest group such as a Theosophy Group, is that of Unincorporated Association of Members. This type of organization can be set up
easily and there is no need to register for taxation purposes unless it starts
to make serious money from trading. The main requirements are ongoing elected
management, a constitution stating the aims and remit of the organization and a
Treasurer bank account.
The Unincorporated
Association of Members format has some limitations. Unlike a limited company,
it is not a legal entity in its own right, which means that the members can be
personally liable for its debts and it cannot normally borrow money or enter
into legal agreements, without the personal guarantee of at least one member.
If an official signs a legal document such as that for the release of a bequest
for the Association and the entitlement is then disputed then the official, and
not the body, is personally liable for the money.
You will be able to
trade at a moderate level and may want to offer appropriate items for sale at
meetings. Be careful to ensure that all money taken
for goods sold at group meetings goes directly to association funds. Beware of
anyone attempting to use the group as an ancillary to a private business. There
may be an exception to this when an outside speaker offers a free talk in
return for the opportunity to sell specialist items or promote a service.
You will need a
constitution for your new upgraded body and here is a sample. A mention is made
regarding the need for members to be in accord with the Objects of the
Theosophical Society and there is more about this farther down the page.

Some notes about
the constitution
Clause 4a; The Objects
of the Theosophical Society were established by the original Theosophical
Society founded in
Causes 3c & 3d;
No one person has the power to refuse membership or kick someone out. This is a
valuable safeguard against someone abusing power.
Clause 5b; The
three officers indicated are the minimum required to qualify as an
Unincorporated Association but you may elect others such as events organizer/programme secretary, publicity secretary and a membership
steward to process applications and give out membership information.
Becoming a
Registered Charity
You can register
you group as a charity with the Charities Commission and if your are handling a
serious amount of money there are real tax benefits.
The downside to
this is that the administrative requirements involve considerable work for a
small group and accounts and other documents must be submitted to the
commission annually by certain deadlines.
Arranging Larger
Venues
You may be lucky
and decide that the room you’ve been using for study meetings is large enough
and suitable for lectures.
Realistically
though, you will probably need something a bit bigger and with a few more
facilities. The local libraries, leisure and community centres
as mentioned earlier may have something suitable but venues such as Quaker
Meeting Houses and Church Halls may be worth a try.
As the numbers
increase, car parking becomes an issue and before agreeing to a venue, it is
worth scouting round to see if this is affected by restrictions such as “Permit
Parking”.
The E-Mailing
List Comes into its Own
When you first
start holding lectures, you’ll be glad you built up a large e-mailing list. You
can email everyone with information about the event with about with a week to
go and follow this up with a short reminder email on the day before the event.
Don’t send out emails and updates every day as people just get fed up with
that.
If you send out an
attachment, it is better to use “Word 1997-2003 Compatible” as this seems to be
accessible to just about everybody.
Make Time to Rock
‘n Roll
Whatever the
structure and aspirations of the group, a programme
composed entirely of serious study will burn everybody out. Make sure that you
include social events where everyone can let their hair down. Time to socialize
after the meeting is also important.

Ten Benefits of Studying the Blavatskyan
Theosophical Teachings
Studying
the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers numerous benefits that can
greatly enrich one's understanding of spirituality, philosophy, and the nature
of reality. Theosophy, as defined by the
writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, has had a
profound impact on the spiritual and philosophical landscape of the modern
world. Blavatsky's teachings draw from a wide range of religious and
philosophical traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Western
esotericism, and present a comprehensive worldview that addresses fundamental
questions about existence, consciousness, and the cosmos.
Here
are ten benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical Teachings
1.
Exploration of Esoteric Wisdom
One
of the primary benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings is
the opportunity to explore esoteric wisdom that is often not readily accessible
in mainstream religious or philosophical traditions. Blavatsky's writings delve
into the esoteric teachings of ancient cultures and mystery schools, shedding
light on profound spiritual truths that have been passed down through the ages.
By delving into these esoteric teachings, students of Theosophy can gain
insights into the nature of consciousness, the structure of the cosmos, and the
evolution of the soul or immortal self.
2.
Synthesis of Eastern and Western Philosophy
Blavatsky's
Theosophical teachings synthesize elements of Eastern and Western philosophy,
offering a comprehensive framework that integrates concepts from diverse
cultural and religious traditions. This synthesis provides students with a
broader perspective on philosophical and spiritual thought, allowing them to
see the underlying unity of seemingly disparate belief systems. By studying
Theosophy, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for the universal
principles that underlie all wisdom traditions, fostering a sense of unity and
interconnectedness with the world's spiritual heritage.
3.
Understanding of Universal Brotherhood
Central
to Blavatsky's Theosophical teachings is the principle of universal
brotherhood, which emphasizes the essential unity of all beings and the
interconnectedness of life. By studying Theosophy, individuals can develop a
profound understanding of the interconnected nature of existence, recognizing
that all living beings are fundamentally linked and that compassion and empathy
are essential for the evolution of humanity. This understanding can lead to a
greater sense of empathy, kindness, and social responsibility, fostering a more
harmonious and compassionate society.
4.
Insight into the Nature of Reality
The
Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offer profound insights into the nature of
reality, consciousness, and the unseen dimensions of existence. Through the
study of Theosophy, individuals can explore concepts such as the
multi-dimensional nature of the universe, the existence of subtle energy
realms, and the interconnectedness of the material and spiritual planes. This
exploration can lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality beyond
the limitations of the physical senses, opening up new vistas of perception and
understanding.
5.
Personal Spiritual Growth
Studying
the Theosophical teachings can be a transformative journey that facilitates
personal spiritual growth and self-discovery. Blavatsky's writings offer
practical guidance for inner development, including meditation practices,
ethical principles, and the cultivation of spiritual virtues. By applying these
teachings to their lives, individuals can experience profound personal
transformation, leading to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and a sense of
purpose and meaning.
6.
Ethical and Moral Guidance
The
Theosophical teachings provide a comprehensive ethical and moral framework that
can guide individuals in their personal and social interactions. Blavatsky
emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct, altruism, and the pursuit of
wisdom, offering practical guidance for leading a virtuous and meaningful life.
By studying Theosophy, individuals can gain clarity on moral issues, cultivate
a sense of ethical responsibility, and contribute to the greater good of
humanity.
7.
Appreciation of Comparative Religion
The
study of Theosophy encourages an appreciation of comparative religion and the
underlying unity of religious and spiritual traditions. Blavatsky's writings
explore the common threads that run through the world's religions, highlighting
universal spiritual principles that transcend cultural and historical
boundaries. By gaining a deeper understanding of comparative religion through
Theosophy, individuals can develop a more inclusive and pluralistic
perspective, fostering interfaith harmony and mutual respect.
8.
Intellectual Stimulation
The
Theosophical teachings offer a rich and intellectually stimulating framework
for exploring profound philosophical and metaphysical concepts. Blavatsky's
writings encompass a wide range of subjects, including cosmology, metaphysics,
ancient wisdom, and the evolution of consciousness, providing ample material
for intellectual inquiry and contemplation. By engaging with these teachings,
individuals can expand their intellectual horizons, develop critical thinking
skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental questions that have
intrigued philosophers and mystics throughout history.
9.
Healing and Reconciliation
The
Theosophical teachings offer insights into the nature of healing and
reconciliation, both on a personal and collective level. Blavatsky's writings
delve into the esoteric principles of healing, the nature of disease, and the
interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. By studying Theosophy,
individuals can gain a deeper understanding of holistic healing modalities, the
power of the mind in influencing health, and the potential for spiritual
transformation through the healing process. Furthermore, the Theosophical
emphasis on universal brotherhood and compassion can contribute to the
reconciliation of divisions and conflicts within society, fostering a more
harmonious and peaceful world.
10.
Contribution to Global Transformation
Finally,
studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings can empower individuals to
contribute to the ongoing global transformation towards a more enlightened and
compassionate world. Blavatsky's vision of a spiritually awakened humanity,
working towards the betterment of all beings, inspires individuals to engage in
positive action and service to humanity. By embodying the principles of Theosophy
in their lives, individuals can become agents of positive change, working
towards the realization of a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
In
summary, the study of the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers a wide
range of benefits, ranging from personal spiritual growth to the potential for
global transformation. By delving into the esoteric wisdom, ethical principles,
and philosophical insights of Theosophy, individuals can expand their
understanding of the nature of reality, cultivate compassion and empathy, and
contribute to the evolution of humanity towards a more harmonious and
enlightened future. As the Theosophical teachings continue to inspire and guide
seekers of truth and wisdom, their profound impact on individuals and society
is likely to endure for generations to come.
