I had a wonderful visit to the Theosophical Society in America. After watching so many of their videos on Youtube it was very fulfilling to finally enjoy the grounds, visit the library, and watch a presentation in the auditorium. I so enjoyed the kind people I met and the positive intent I found throughout this visit. I'll definitely be back!

Theosofest this year was disappointing. It should be called jewelry and shiny stone fest. Very little philosophies,, metaphysics, cosmology, or alternate thinking. Just selling jewelry.

Beautiful grounds and buildings to visit. 42 acres of land, includes, fountains, labyrinth, bookstore, flower gardens. Parking is free in front on main entrance or in the back lot by the bookstore entrance. They host many classes to the public in the building including yoga, meditation and various workshops. It's free and open to the public. Our art league visited and were able to sit outside and choose an area to paint, draw or sketch the surroundings. The building has bathrooms and has a beautiful architecture. A hidden gem for a quick visit.

Fascinating place! I came into the study of Theosophy by reading books by authors inspired by its ideas. This place is a hidden gem here in Illinois. I would recommend it for spiritual seekers. I love how they try to bridge the East/West divide in religion. I think that is a pressing issue that leaves many thinking people with questions and a desire to bridge the gap.

It's a blessing to live in the same area as the Theosophical society.The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. The labyrinth is free to walk and a fantastic centering tool.I haven't even mentioned the tons of classes and lectures that are informative and impossible to find anywhere else.Oh, and they have a fantastic bookstore!

Very nice and peaceful space. The groundskeeping is magnificent and should serve as an example to any in that career.

This must be the most Magnificent and Beautiful example of 19th Century architecture in the State of Illinois, and at almost 67, one of my oldest hang-out's and stomping grounds. The Library has the largest collections of Occult and Esoteric books in the United States, including illustrated manuscripts, in Greek, Hebrew and Latin, plus other dead languages. The collection of rare Occult antiques, paintings and artifacts is world renowned, and the grounds that surround it, would put the imagination of H. P. Lovecraft to shame. This is a must visit place. I have also attended several of the Theosofest activities over the decades. The adjacent Quest bookstore has the largest selection of books, jewelry, incense, candles, posters, and supplies anywhere. This is the place for every serious practioner...

Peaceful, lovely grounds. Beautiful1920s building with a traditional, old world feel. Wonderful events, library and friendly people. Memorable.Highly recommend the Thursday night lecture series in their serene third floor lecture hall. Recently, they added an elevator for easier access. During covid the Thursday night lectures are live webcasts. The first time I ever attended was to hear British scientist Rupert Sheldrake known for his theory of morphic resonance. Many interesting authors and people have lectured here over the years. If you arrive early stop at the Quest book and gift store before your event, for books, jewelry, incense, cards and gemstones.
