🙌 Miami/Deerfield Theosophical Society ~ A congregational 501(c) (3) non-profit Celebrating 105 Years!
April 2025 Gatherings
“To live to benefit mankind is the first step.” ~ H. P. B.
In-person gatherings assist us in recognizing our humanness, in voicing our needs and coming together in energetic ways that technological ways do not. Gatherings are open to the public on a Donation basis, balancing giving and receiving. Join us as we build a safe and nurturing community. Programs are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
Join us at Thubten Kunga Ling (located in the Cove Shopping Plaza, in the teal colored building upstairs), at 201 S.E.15th Terrace, Suite 207, Deerfield Beach, FL. 33441. Learn more about the venue by visiting this link: https://thubtenkungaling.org

“What Keeps Humanity Alive?”
with Sharon Ann Meyer (a.k.a. SAM)
Join us for discussion on the most essential part of our physical body, which gives it the necessary energy to support life, and is intimately connected to health. This subtle field allows us to be more receptive to psychic information, sense vibrations, and see paranormal energies, and it is being affected by incoming solar and planetary prana. Please turn off cell phones and bring pen and paper to save parts of the discussion that are important to you.
Wayshower SAM, author of the Lightworker’s Log Book Series, founder of SAM I AM PROductions, and administrator of LightworkersLog.com couples ageless wisdom with personal experience in multiple realities. She is the Corresponding Secretary for our branch of The Theosophical Society.

“Qigong”
with Ken Frankel
Qigong consists of various ancient (and modern) Chinese practices that promote health, vitality and longevity through the engagement of body, breath, and mind. This session will be primarily experiential with some discussion of the foundational concepts, historical background, and health benefits of qigong along the way. No special athletic ability is needed and most methods may be practiced in either a seated or standing position. Wear comfortable clothing.
Ken Frankel has been practicing qigong for over twenty years and has traveled to many places in the United States and Canada to learn it. He has completed three 200-hour trainings and many briefer ones. Ken began teaching qigong classes at our lodge in 2018 and currently serves on the Board as Vice President 2.

“Shadow Dancing”
with Jane Ellen Glasser
JANE ELLEN GLASSER
Join us as Jane Ellen shares poems from her new collection “Shadow Dancing,” in which she will address how we need both the dark side and the light side to experience what it means to be fully human. Having recently turned eighty-years-old, she is learning to balance paradoxes, the co-existence of loss and gain, the downside and blessings of aging in a culture that worships beauty and youth. Like many elders, she cherishes and protects her solitude, a platform for spiritual work and creative endeavors. And, as is customary in all of her books, she explores human nature as enriched and transformed through the lens of the natural world.
Jane Ellen has been writing poetry since she was a teenager, and literary journals and anthologies have featured over 300 poems. She co-founded the nonprofit arts organization and journal New Virginia Review, won the Tampa Review Prize for Poetry for her collection “Light Persists,” and Poetica Publishing Company Chapbook Contest for the “The Long Life.” Book previews and access to her most recent collections are available at: http://JaneEllenGlasser.com.
There is no charge for any of our programs. We operate entirely by donations to balance giving and receiving and to continue our work of spreading the message of theosophy. All donations are tax deductible under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, section 501(c) (3).
Support your Spiritual Truths! Connect via the website if there’s something your soul would care to share.
Theosophical Society Mission Statement: “To serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual self-transformation, and the unity of all life.”
We are a congregational 501(c) (3) non-profit associated with The Theosophical Society of America, and we currently hold in-person meetings at Thubten Kunga Ling until such time as more people are interested in and dedicated to supporting a lodge of our own once again.
If you are already a member of the Theosophical Society in America, you can join our lodge. Financial assistance for any membership fees may be available upon request.
