PUBLIC LECTURE | Soul Education and Progressive Awakenings

FREE LECTURE

PUBLIC LECTURE | Theosophy - Inquiry and Action

• International Lecturer | Dr James Tepfer
• Date: Wednesday 25 February 2026
• Time: 7pm - 8pm
• Location: Brisbane Theosophical Society | 355 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill

This lecture will raise, explore, and elucidate several vital questions about the deeper, soul purposes of education: What is the overarching purpose of modern education, whether secular or religious? What is strong, and what is lacking, in the modern pursuit of knowledge? What is the soul? What are its stages of growth from birth to adulthood? In what way is it possible to weave the sacred into secular education without vitiating both? What is involved in ‘waking up’ to wisdom? Is true learning really ‘soul recollection’ as Socrates insisted? These and related issues will be broached and discussed.

Dr James Tepfer taught philosophy, ethics, and religious studies for twenty years at Oxnard College in California. He learned what little he does understand on the subject by mentally sitting at the feet of Shri Raghavan and Nandini Iyer.

Tea, Coffee and Conversation to follow!
