This group discusses the practical applications of the theosophical philosophy and the therapeutics of the wisdom of the ages.
Resources: http://www.universaltheosophy.com/art-of-living/
The art of living study group intends to discuss the relevance and connection of theosophical ideas to the challenges and hurdles of daily life. This group will focus on the ethical issues, psychological challenges and artistic applications of theosophy to the daily round and the common task. While the other three groups freely move back and forth between the universal and the particular, the theoretical and the practical, this group will make an attempt to stay focused on the practical side of the art of living equation.
