Melbourne Theosophical Society

Join us for a joyful and heartfelt Christmas Party as we gather to celebrate another inspiring year at the Melbourne Theosophical Society!

This special evening brings our community together in the spirit of reflection, fellowship, and gratitude for the many events, conversations, and shared learnings that have shaped 2025.

Enjoy an uplifting program of light refreshments, and friendly connection as we honour the dedication of our members, volunteers, speakers, and guests.

We will take a moment to look back on the highlights of the year—our lectures, study groups, meditations, and community initiatives—while embracing the spirit of unity and goodwill that this season represents.

Whether you’ve been part of our activities throughout the year or are new to the Society, all are warmly welcome to celebrate with us.

Come share in the festive atmosphere, meet like-minded seekers, and help us close the year with harmony, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose.

When: Sat 20 Dec
Time: 1:30pm - 3:30pm
Where: The Melbourne Theosophical Society, Level 1, 234 Flinders Lane, Melb

Join us Valerie Ringland (PhD) for a grounding and transformative event. The session will begin with Indigenous drumming and prayer to bring everyone into a shared sacred space.

Followed by an inspiring knowledge-sharing talk on reconnecting with the ancestors of land, lineage, and spirit, and discovering practical ways to integrate Indigenous wisdom into your approach to healing.

We will journey together through an immersive Indigenous drum experience held in a relaxed, dimly lit space—participants are welcome to get comfortable with cushions or chairs as they settle in.

A supportive sharing and Q&A circle will follow.

Books will be available at an author’s discount, with an opportunity for signing and personal connection. Come to listen, learn, journey inward, and deepen your sense of ancestral connection and spiritual grounding.

The MTS is committed to providing events that align with and further The three objects of The Theosophical Society:

• To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, s*x, caste or colour.
• To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.
• To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in the human being.

However this being stated, the MTS does not endorse any health, spiritual, science-related, philosophical or theological /other assertions or claims made by any facilitator we host.

Join us for Tea/Coffee, Cake and discussions around Life & Death. The intention of our café is to Initiate, Normalise, Socialise & Transform the conversations around End-of-Life, Death and Dying in our society.

We provide a safe space where we bring acceptance, empathy, empowerment and education to conversation.

Traditionally these cafes have been known as ‘Death Cafes’, however, it is our opinion that life is present until the moment breath leaves the body. And, at all stages we have the opportunity to choose the life we please.

Also, from a theosophical context, Theosophy offers a perspective that puts death as a recurring incident in an endless life, opening the gateway to a fuller more transformed existence.

NOTE: If you wish to stay and discuss a personal matter, that you are dealing with concerning End-of-Life, we will make ourselves available after the cafe has concluded.

Would you like to understand how numerology can offer guidance and support as we journey through life?

Numerology has been with us since the time of Pythagoras. Now, some 2,500 years later, we are able to integrate numerology with the numerical systems of the chakras, the enneagram and the tarot to provide a holistic approach to personal and spiritual development.

Join Allan Meers, author of books on the tarot and the chakras, as he shares insights gained while writing his latest book on numerology, titled ‘Living your Numbers’. While Allan’s approach retains the tradition of using of the date of birth as a guide to our life’s journey, it is the numerology of the enneagram that provides a fresh, approach to this ancient craft.

As we activate and cleanse the numbers indicated by our Life Lessons and Personal Expression, we arrive at the Soul Urge—a call to follow our own truth in life and reconnect with that part of us that is beyond the physical realm.

Here, the Theosophical maxim that ‘There is no religion higher than Truth’ beckons us to follow our personal truth, using numbers as a guide and their energies as a pathway to higher consciousness.

During the presentation, Allan will show how the meaning of the numbers provides guidance as we move from states of Polarity and Duality, to a state of Equanimity and, finally, Unity—a Oneness with All That Is.

Join us for a special film screening of the new documentary ‘One Fire’ exploring the 150 years of the Theosophical Society.

Created for the Theosophical Society, ONE FIRE - written and directed by Terhi Ahava - is a cinematic journey across continents and through time, reviving the forgotten teachings that continue to inspire Theosophists around the world.

From New York to London, Amsterdam to Brussels, and all the way to Chennai, the film reconnects us with the spiritual legacy of H.P. Blavatsky and reminds us that her vision lives on in the work of seekers today.

The fire was never lost, it has only awaited our awakening.

Join Edward Sinclair as he explores a presentation on The Cycle of Life, Death, and Rebirth: A Theosophical Exploration of the Divine Plan

A thought-provoking evening delving into one of the central mysteries of existence — the cycle of life, death, and rebirth — as understood through the lens of Theosophy. Drawing upon timeless wisdom teachings, this talk will explore how the journey of the soul reflects the unfolding of the Divine Plan, guiding all beings toward spiritual evolution and unity with the greater Whole.

Together, we will examine the nature of transition and renewal, and the deeper significance of karma and reincarnation as expressions of cosmic order. Through these insights, participants will gain a renewed sense of meaning in the rhythms of life and a greater understanding of humanity’s role in the grand tapestry of creation.

Whether you are a longtime student of Theosophy or simply curious about the spiritual dimensions of existence, this talk invites reflection on our shared journey through the eternal cycle of becoming.

Join us for this unique session and discover the art of meaningful dialogue.

Together we will explore the conversation models that lead to Socratic Dialogue and then put them into practice!

A Socratic Dialogue invites participants to come together in search of deeper understanding of a question, reading, or problem. It’s an intentional, reflective conversation where everyone listens, learns, and grows through shared inquiry.

Rooted in the philosophy of Socrates, this timeless practice reminds us that:

“Wisdom begins in wonder.” – Socrates

Come curious. Leave inspired.

Join Stephen Fiyalko, President of the Melbourne Theosophical Society, for a Saturday talk and practical workshop in follow-up to that delivered last September which looked at life’s purpose as one becomes aware of, engages with and embraces the process of transformation.

This talk considers the nature of transformational choice particularly in the context of the Laws of the Universe, theosophy and the hidden Shadow which was also a focus of Dr. Carl Jung’s work.

The Laws themselves suggest that who we consider ourselves to be based on our nature, personality, knowledge, karma, education, emotions, social constraints, habits, ego, mind and the hidden shadow self can form a barrier to perceiving the world as it is. According to the Laws (principles not rules) perception based on comparison and judgement clouds clarity of mind.

Join us for an intriguing talk as we bridge the universal laws, theosophy and the shadow to learn deeper aspects of ourselves and our perspective on life.

All are welcome, $5 entry non-members, T.S. Members complimentary.
