Those who choose to join The Theosophical Society are not asked to accept any particular belief or to surrender existing beliefs - they are asked only to be in sympathy with the Society’s Three Objects.

Membership provides access to various events, publications and facilities, such as:

  • lending and research libraries
  • discount on purchases from Adyar Bookshop, Sydney
  • meetings, talks, discussions, seminars and workshops
  • opportunities to attend national and international conventions, seminars, retreat and educational centres
  • national and international journals
  • contact with theosophical organisations, groups and members throughout Australia and around the world

It is suggested that anyone wishing to join the Society should first become familiar with its aims and activities. They could perhaps join a theosophical library, attend meetings and get to know members. Blavatsky Lodge requires two sponsors, who must be members, for membership applications.

A membership application form and information about the membership fee may be obtained from Blavatsky Lodge of The Theosophical Society, 3rd floor, 484 Kent St Sydney.
