The Hindus have a term -- Satsangha -- meaning "good
association," which is what I think (maybe) you are writing
about.  But this is determined by the quality of the sangha or
community members, not the lodge or place -- whether that "place"
is physical, electronic, or astral.  So wherever two or three
real theosophists are gathered together, there is the Lodge.

Best,
