On behalf of the Sunshine Coast Theosophical Society committee, I would like to say “Welcome members and friends!”

If you are reading this, it means you made it through 21st December 2012, and may now be wondering what is in store for 2013! Many people last year noticed the strange ‘energy’ it held, and were greatly challenged more on personal levels, than global. I feel this year may be a year for finding opportunities and taking them, thereby taking yourself in new directions possibly not considered before.

At TS Sunshine Coast Lodge this year, we are going to include more challenging discussions and open forums, giving YOU the chance to express your thoughts and also be stimulated by others’ ideas and concepts. We need to plunge to the depths of spirituality and really look at what makes us tick, who we are and what we believe. Are we influenced too much by media, peers, family and religion, or are we forming our own ideas? When we leave the lodge each week, do we go away and LIVE what we have learned, or do we forget about it until next week rolls around? It is time to start LIVING THEOSOPHY - in other words, living life according to Divine Wisdom. We would like to hold more members only events, and of course there will be opportunities to attend events at Springbrook and also a camping weekend in conjunction with the Toowoomba lodge at Somerset Dam.

As with our committee, I hope to see all the familiar faces return, and some new ones attending as well. If you have read any wonderful books in the break, we would love you to tell us about it. Please let me know if you can do a review on a Thursday evening. We are of course, always looking for helpers too, so if you can offer your services in the kitchen or on the front desk it would be greatly appreciated. Email me at penny26@tpg.com.au if you can help, or have any suggestions for our forthcoming year.

Your President for 2013
