Lemurian Fellowship

The Lemurian Fellowship is a school of universal philosophy located on 60 acres (24 ha) of land near Ramona, California. The Fellowship provides instruction on what is referred to as the Lemurian Philosophy, which includes concepts of cosmic or universal law and various principles associated with the application of these laws. Teachings range from reincarnation and karma, to balanced living, to Christ's ministry and message. Students of the Fellowship progress through a correspondence course that consists of a series of 12 basic lessons that can be followed by an advanced training leading to acceptance into the Lemurian Order. Order members continue to work on personal development as well as contribute to group activities, one key activity being the making of various hand-made crafts, a number of which have been recognized for their contribution to 20th century modern design.

The Lemurian Fellowship was founded in Chicago in 1936 by Dr. Robert D. Stelle, a teacher, author, and physician, and Howard Zitko, his associate. After moving briefly to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and then Chula Vista, California, the Fellowship relocated near Ramona, California, to get away from the pressures and distractions of the city, but also have the advantages of being near a major city, San Diego. The Fellowship is registered as a nonprofit, , religious corporation under California law, and is overseen administratively by a board of governors.

According to the Fellowship, the Lemurian Philosophy was revealed to Stelle by highly advanced men and women, called Masters or Elder Brothers. The Philosophy is said to have formed the foundation of the so-called Mukulian civilization on the legendary continent of Mu (also known as Lemuria) now covered by the Pacific Ocean. This lost continent is considered incompatible with the theory of plate tectonics, the standard theory describing movement of the earth's lithosphere accepted by most, but not all,earth scientists. Nonetheless, the Lemurian Philosophy points to various megalithic structures and other features on various Pacific Islands, and in South America and Asia, as indications that the continent and an advanced civilization did at one time exist.
