About us
The Phoenix Study Group of the Theosophical Society in America is an exciting group of seekers on the adventure to learn about many Spiritual Traditions and the root they have in common. As more people in the modern world are expressing that they are “spiritual” but not particularly “religious” Theosophy provides a wonderfully enlightening path.
Founded in 2000 as an official Study Group in Phoenix, we are dedicated to Helena Petrovna Blavatsky’s intention of finding a synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy among the world’s great spiritual and philosophical traditions, as well as science and other esoteric systems including Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Alchemy and more.
We welcome all who wish to join us who are in agreement with the Theosophical Society’s Three Objects:
To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color.
To encourage the comparative study of religion, philosophy and science.
To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity.
We sincerely hope that you will join us for a few meetings and get to know the Phoenix Study Group of the Theosophical Society in America, and participate in our stimulating discussions, to help you determine if Theosophy should be part of your path.
