Far Horizons is a haven inspired
by Theosophy for those seeking rejuvenation for the
body and soul. It is located
midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco (about
5.5 hours from each) deep in the Sierra mountains
east of Fresno, CA in the Sequoia National Monument.
Far Horizons is a nonprofit educational
organization with a maximum occupancy of 50 people.
We offer varied pathways to personal and spiritual
growth through programs on the ageless wisdom, nature,
healing, and spirituality. Far Horizons members receive
a 10% discount on their lodging fees.
Far Horizons and Theosophy: Founded
in 1954 by G.V. and Mary Hull, the camp was created
as a practical experiment in applying theosophical
principles to daily life. The
Theosophical Society is a worldwide organization
founded in 1875 and dedicated to better understanding
our place in the universe as well as the purpose and
meaning in our lives. A central premise of Theosophy
(also called the ageless wisdom) is that we are all
one. Respect for every religious tradition is a prominent
theosophical principle. Membership in the Theosophical
Society, or in the camp itself, is not required.
The Far Horizons Mission: to foster
an experience of awareness and aliveness for all.
A strong and open sense of community
has been at the heart of Far Horizons. We depend on
volunteer staff to create the foundation of order
at camp and then each camper chooses some little extra
work each day, from raking pine needles, to chopping
vegetables, to other meal preparation or cleanup.
Freedom: Far Horizons offers opportunities
for group participation, quiet space, study, and fun.
There is plenty of free time during our programs,
making Far Horizons a choice "base camp" for those
who wish to also seek the pleasures of hiking, horseback
riding, and boating in the National Parks that you
must drive through to reach us. Whether you seek serenity
or kinship, tranquil quiet or the challenge of personal
inner exploration, we invite you to experience Far
Horizons.
