What is the Theosophical Society?
The Theosophical Society is a community of spiritual explorers who explore and attempt to understand the patterns and connections and interdependence of life, as well as exploring the deeper meaning and potential of spirituality, religion and science.
We do not tell anyone what to believe but encourage people to come to their own understanding of how to reach their spiritual potential and practice it.
The Theosophical Society has no dogmas, creeds, gurus or authority figures.
Each member is free to believe and think what they wish, and to follow whichever spiritual path leads them to a greater understanding of the Oneness of all Life.

History of the TS
Radio New Zealand Interview:
" 'Ideas' takes a look at the philosophy and practice of theosophy: an unusual hybrid of Western and Eastern thought, which has had adherents in New Zealand – including a former prime minister and an attorney general – since the earliest years of the movement’s history. Chris Laidlaw and Jeremy Rose from Radio NZ talk to Sushma and Simon Webber of the Wellington branch of the Theosophical Society; professor Peter Lineham; and June Vallyon a Theosophical Society member from Tauranga with a keen interest in the movement’s history."
