What theosophists do in their meetings?
Meetings typically consist of a talk followed by discussion or the study of a topic. Theosophy has no developed rituals, although meetings may be opened and closed by brief meditations or the recitation of short texts, and some groups use a simple ceremony for welcoming new members. There are no privileged symbols or icons in the theosophy, but various symbols from the religious traditions of the world are honored. There are no clergy or leaders, other than democratically chosen officers.
