THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
2023 All Ireland Convention
A Short Account of the 16th All Ireland Theosophical Convention
The 16th All Ireland All Ireland Convention took place in the Merrion
Room, Clayton Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin on Saturday 20th May, 2023. It
was well attended and we were very happy to welcome once again our
esteemed Guest Speaker, Gerard Brennan, who is an Australian member and is
affiliated to TS Ireland. He was accompanied by a fellow Australian
member, Mary Masselas.
At the short Business Meeting held before the Talk, Greetings from
eighteen countries around the world were read out by The Organising and
the Assistant Organising Secretaries. At this Meeting, the three All
Ireland Officers, the Organising Secretary, the Assistant Organising
Secretary, and the Treasurer, were re-elected to their posts.
There followed Refreshments for all and then the Guest Speaker, Gerard,
gave his uplifting and inspiring address on a mystical theme: ‘Along the
Path and Towards the Mountains’. After the questions and answers, the
Guest Speaker and his fellow Australian travelling companion, Mary, were
presented with Irish mementoes. There followed some group photographs and
continuing warm conversations.
The occasion was brought to a close with the Universal Prayer, the
Theosophical mantra, ‘O Hidden Life’.
In all, thankfully, a very successful, uplifting and congenial Convention.
