Being of Service

The mission of the Theosophical Society is “to serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual self-transformation and unity of all life.” How, therefore, can we cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of our spiritual selves in relationship to our day-to-day work in this world?

When we take time to consider what or who we are serving from a spiritual perspective as we travel to work each day, what light might that shine on our lives and our sense of individual purpose?

Join us as we delve further into this notion of ‘service’ and what it means for each other in relation to seeking a greater sense of meaning in the work we are employed to do, the services we provide and the life we are called to live.

A panel comprised of Theosophical staff and those within its community shall be gathered and each person given the opportunity to speak to their notion of service, what it is they do, what it means for them and how they perceive their life’s work from this larger spiritual perspective as service to humanity.

Time for the audience to ask questions shall be included.

‘Theosophy is about meaning in our everyday experiences, feeling more and more connected to people and serving them.
It generates compassion, empathy, love and kindness within us.’
