The Foundation for Theosophical Studies presents
The Theosophical Summer School 2009
Saturday 1 August - Saturday 8 August 2009
Spiritual Awareness in the 21st Century
Venue:
Ancaster Hall
University of Nottingham
Nottingham university tower
This year's School to be held at Ancaster Hall, University of Nottingham, has as its theme Spiritual Awareness in the 21st Century. The annual Blavatsky Lecture will be given by our former President and well known international lecturer, Colin Price, who has taken as his title, The Cycle of Life.
Mary Anderson, former International Secretary at Adyar, will be giving the public lecture at Nottingham Lodge (Maid Marian Way).
There will be the usual mix of lectures, studies and workshops led by many of the Society's leading figures including Eric McGough, Harold Tarn, Susan Bayliss, Maureen Atkinson and Peter Barton to name but a few.
There will be optional afternoon activities including numerology, yoga nidra, esoteric palmistry and an outing to a local place of interest.
Ancaster Hall has comfortable accommodation on a compact site but the size of the main lecture room limits us to 100 people; so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. A 10% discount will be given for bookings paid for no later than 31 May.
I am sure 2009 will be another enjoyable and rewarding week and I look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones.
Jenny Baker
Director of Summer School
