The Philippine Theosophical Institute is a branch of the Theosophical Society in the Philippines, which in turn is a section of the international Theosophical Society founded in 1875 in New York by Helena P. Blavatsky, Col. Henry Steel Olcott and others. The Institute conducts classes on Self-Transformation and the training of facilitators, as well as courses on the ageless wisdom or theosophy.
