Theosophical Society

New Plymouth Branch

Exploring the ageless wisdom, universal brotherhood, and the latent potential within humanity through study, meditation, and service.

Welcome to Our Community

The New Plymouth Branch offers a sanctuary for seekers of truth, regardless of creed or background. We provide opportunities for open-minded inquiry into the laws of nature and the spiritual development of the individual.

From regular public talks and study groups to special regional retreats, we invite you to join our journey of discovery and connection in the beautiful Taranaki region.

The Branch Library

We maintain an extensive collection of books on theosophy, comparative religion, philosophy, and science. Our collection is available for members to borrow and for the public to browse during our meeting times.

Digital Catalogue: You can now search our entire library collection online through our dedicated web application.
