The Theosophical Society in America is part of the international Theosophical Society. The American Section is organized into three geographical districts (eastern, central, and western). In each district there are two kinds of local groups, called Lodges (or Branches) and Study Centers. In some parts of the country, local groups and individual members join together in a voluntary association called a Federation. Use the map below to find meeting places near you.

It is a busy center and a beautiful place, providing a focal point for the energies and efforts of members throughout the American Section. Olcott is also a symbol of the aspiration and the commitment that brought it into being and that continue to sustain it as a place of wise inspiration, strength, and beauty. The staff at Olcott consists of approximately fifty employees who carry on the work of the national center, all of whom are dedicated to the unique work of the Theosophical Society in America.

The Society

The Theosophical Society in America is a section of the worldwide Theosophical Society, founded in New York in 1875, with its international headquarters at Adyar, Chennai (Madras), India. The American Section has its national center in Wheaton, Illinois, on a beautiful forty-acre estate called Olcott in honor of the Society’s co-founder and first president, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott. No acceptance of particular beliefs or practices is required to join the Theosophical Society. All in sympathy with its Three Objects are welcomed as members. These Three Objects are: 1. To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color. 2. To encourage the comparative study of religion, philosophy, and science. 3. To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity. These Objects form the foundation for the work of the Theosophical Society (TS).Nevertheless, they can be interpreted on many levels.

In fact it encourages us to see external differences as enriching our human experience instead of being sources of intolerance and war. The Second Object encourages research into this truth of our unity. It thus encourages a comparative study of three differen...
