🙌 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 cannot sustain a place of our own and membership is very low. 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.

with Brian Burns, Lillian Mayer, & Tony Spatarella

Insights will be encouraged in a respectful and private manner.

“Paranormal Chat Room”

“What Is The Meaning Of Life?”
with Cary Bayer
What college freshman hasn’t asked the questions, “Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life?” Far too many, haven’t found anything close to answers. This talk, by Prospering by Living on Purpose author Cary Bayer, changes that. He addresses these questions with powerful answers, answers that can help enlighten you, bring you peace of mind, and fill your heart with compassion for yourself and other people in your life.
Cary Bayer is a Florida-based Life Coach, who’s worked with Oscar-winners Alan Arkin and Pietro Scalia, Emmy-winners David Steinberg and Judy Henderson, and Quality Inns. The author of 30 books, including Higher Self Meditations, A Course in Money Miracles, and Star Wars Yoga, the Force, and You, he’s a former TM teacher, and trainer of teachers, and founder of Higher Self Healing Meditation.
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.
