JANUARY
3. LIFE AFTER DEATH by ENRIQUE RENARD, F.T.S. The question of death and dying holds a
good deal of concern in the Occident, where death is usually regarded with fear and anxiety and
accompanied by a great demonstration of grief. Also, the matter of one’s own death is normally
regarded with fear and anxiety. We ask, is this the correct way to feel about this crucial and
certainly inevitable part of life? In Theosophy we are offered views on post mortem that can
entirely dissipate our fear of dying and can greatly diminish the anguish of the loss of loved
ones. We are told that it is in fact nothing but a great adventure, one for which we should be
prepared with proper information.
10. FILM TO BE ANNOUNCED
17. WATER by JACK MILLER, F.T.S.
After years of neglect, abuse and carelessness there is little doubt that the time has come to
expand our awareness, appreciation and viewpoints of this life-giving substance. Marsaru Emoto’
s work with the crystallization of water has inspired a host of scientists, educators and healers to
take a new look at the miraculous properties of water. Join us as we view some of the new
discoveries, past misunderstandings and future possibilities that this magical, mystical and
miraculous substance has to offer.
24. UPADESA SARAM by VIJAY RAGHAVAN, F.T.S.
“Upadesa Saram” – (Essence of the Teaching) is a short treatise by Maharishi that contains in a
nut shell the sum and substance of the Highest Teaching. The different forms of Yoga (Bhakti,
Gnana and Karma), types of meditation and the technology to salvation have all been discussed
with emphasis on knowing the real “I”. This talk – first in the series -- is an introduction to
Upadesa Saram along with explanation of the first few verses.
31. NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY by BRIAN F. CALL.
Brian F. Call, an award winning S. Fla. Nature photographer, will be sharing his adventures and
experiences of photographing the wilds of Florida. Brian’s work has been featured in several
television programs. In addition to selling his fine art prints in select art festivals throughout
South Florida, Brian has also been using his photography for several years to raise awareness
for environmental and conservation issues, particularly the Florida panther.
FEBRUARY
7. Sea Turtle Conservation Program in Broward County by Louis Fisher.
The first half of the talk discusses sea turtle conservation in Florida and worldwide and describes
the species of marine turtle that use our beaches and their status. The second half presents the
historical data of the Broward County Program and the multitude of problems encountered when
an endangered species uses an urban environment for part of its life history.
14. Feng Shui 2010 by Carol Cannon, F.T.S.
On the day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Carol will present information on how Feng Shui, the
Chinese art of placement, interacts with this annual event. You will learn about the history of
Feng Shui, its evolution through the ages, how it is used in today’s modern world and tips for
creating a positive 2010. Following the lecture, participants are invited to join Theosophical
Society members for a “Chinese New Year Meal for the Mind” at a local Asian restaurant.
21. MASTERY by JURGEN KRUPPA, F.T.S.
Surrender, let go of judgment, the application of will and discipline, establishment of purpose.
Service. How can we achieve a positive result in our spiritual work. How to handle the lower I’s
once we meet them.
28. THE WIZARD OF OZ AND KABBALAH by SANDY MANTEL, F.T.S.
There is an Ancient Wisdom which runs through all our Mythological Stories, such as “The
Wizard of Oz” This story was written by Frank Baum, a Theosophist and Master Mason.
Included in this talk is an explanation of the Mystical Four Levels of Kabbalah. In order to relate
Kabbalah to Oz I will include a copy of a “Map of Oz”, a few pictures of Tarot Cards of Oz and
copies of the “Tree of Life” from the Kabbalah.
MARCH
7. PRANIC HEALING by DIANA SAIZ, F.T.S.
Pranic healing is a form of non-touch energy healing using Divine Energy (Love) started by
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. It is based on the fundamental principle that the body is a “self-
repairing” living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself.
12-14. Florida Federation Spring Convention in St Petersburg—An inspirational and
informative potpourri of Florida presenters on a variety of topics. Watch for details in the
Federation’s Newsletter mailed to all members in January. All are invited. Extra copies of the

Rev. Fegan will explore the evolution of the Science of Mind teaching as developed by Dr. Ernest
Holmes. She will provide insight into its unique form of prayer, called Spiritual Mind Treatment or
Affirmative Prayer. The Science of Mind teaches that as a Divine being, you are the master of
your destiny. It weaves ideas from religion, philosophy and science into a cohesive, practical
teaching that is both mentally stimulating and emotionally satisfying. The talk will be followed with
a Question and Answer session
28. (4:30 – 6:00 pm). MEMBERS MEETING to elect a Nominating Committee. This is
