SYDNEY EVENTS

Thursday Evening, October 18
Anima Mundi: The World Soul, at the Blavatsky Lodge of the Theosophical Society, Sydney, 7:30pm - 9:30pm

God redeems humanity, but nature needs to be redeemed by human alchemists, who are able to induce the process of transformation, which alone is capable of liberating the light imprisoned in physical creation.

The Anima Mundi, the World Soul, is the ordering and creative principle in creation. She is at the center of all things and yet she is hidden within the world. She is waiting to be used to connect us with the inner powers that belong to matter and life itself. Real alchemical work awakens this light hidden in matter, so that together we can create the forms of the future that will bring life back into harmony.

Location: Blavatsky Lodge of the Theosophical Society, Meeting Hall, Theosophy House, 484 Kent Street, Level 2, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia

Awakening the World: A Global Dimension to Spiritual Practice, at the Centre in Randwick

Please note, it is possible to attend either or both days. Advance booking is requested, but it may also be possible to book at the door.

What is the relationship between our individual spiritual practice and global transformation? How can we use our spiritual awareness to help the world to evolve?

Open to seekers of any tradition, this evening talk and one-day workshop will address these vital questions, taking the participant into a global dimension of spirituality. We will explore the spiritual practices and attitudes we need to cultivate, opening us to the real purpose of spiritual transformation at this time of crisis and transition. As we step into a global era, do we need to realign our spiritual understanding, or is this dimension already present within most traditions? What are the dangers and difficulties as well as spiritual potential of this present time? What does it mean to participate fully in both individual and global spiritual life?
