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.
