🙌 Miami/Deerfield Theosophical Society ~ A congregational 501(c) (3) non-profit Celebrating 107 Years!
IMPORTANT NOTICE
We are looking for a new place for our meetings as the Buddhist Center is relocating in September. If you send us your email address and phone number we will reach you when a decision has been made. A phone number makes all the difference for last minute cancellations. If you have a location suggestion, either phone Brian or email us at admin@ theosophysouthflorida.org. To be precise, despite hundreds of subscribers to our updates, since relocating in 2020 we have not had more than 25 attendees at gatherings. Our active Board of merely five members out of seven total cannot currently sustain a place of our own. Thank You.
Gatherings are open to the public. We currently hold meetings 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, until such time as more people are interested in and dedicated to supporting a physical lodge of our own once again. Programs are subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances.
Support your spiritual truths because unsupported they no longer exist. We support resonant groups by attending gatherings, becoming members and serving to keep the group active, and/or by financial offerings.

“Poetry Gathering, Recitation And Raffle”
with Lillian Mayer & YOU!
Please join us at our T. S. venue for something a little different. Come and share from one to three poems from any poet, spiritual tradition, philosophical perspective or from your own poetry. They can be profound, joyful, mysterious, comforting or surprising. The only real requirement is that they speak to you. Each participant will have an opportunity to share after which we will open the floor for a lively discussion about the poems and what they stirred in us. Following we will have a raffle and the winner(s) will take home a volume of spiritual poetry to enjoy.
Come ready to share laugh, listen, reflect and perhaps discover something unexpected. We hope you’ll join us for a warm, spirited and inspiring gathering. We can’t wait to hear what you bring!

“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.
Creatures in the wild like dolphins, elephants, and tortoises, among many others, have much to teach us about life, about who we are, and who we can be. Of course, so do those animals much closer to home―like in our homes―such as cats and dogs, as well. This talk, by The Zen Teachings of Cats & Dogs & Other Non-Humans author Cary Bayer, will also offer some tools you can practice daily–call it Animal Yoga–to master some important qualities of Enlightenment that these non-humans show us. This spiritual system helps transform our consciousness from low levels of fear where our tail is between our legs to the place where it’s wagging all the time, an enlightened state of consciousness you might call Feline Groovy.

“Divining Your Life for 2027”
with Markus Edmiston
Explore the tarot, complemented by dowsing rods for energy fields, a pendulum, and the option of dream incubation, to find the energies, subtle and otherwise, that will shape your 2027. Let your intuition assist your conscious goals, for the highest and best expression of your being. Please bring a pendulum, dowsing rods and a tarot deck, if you have them.
Theosophist Markus is a member of our lodge and has been teaching tarot workshops for almost 23 years. He has had several ‘lives’ (he likes cats and dogs, but as a Leo born in the year of the Tiger, his personality seems to be closer to a cat, but with more laughter!). Markus ran the Esprit Center in Hudson N.Y., and he has facilitated ACIM Study Groups in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area.
