Practical Theosophy: Finding Our Purpose in the Confusion
With Douglas Keene
May 29 - June 1, 2025
T.S. Program – A weekend with Douglas Keene, TSA President
Today’s world seems to be moving at a frenetic pace, with constant, often overwhelming, conflict and corruption, news and social media reports, economic upheavals, health threats, political swings and novel expectations. Disinformation and illusion have become staples in modern times for any entity wishing influence. How can one find tranquility and purpose in such a confused environment? How can we bring our ideals more tangibly into our lives?
