Through TI, as far as possible - just in case some of the nuclear
families began studying the "wrong" things ...

So how about TI members starting some branches, meetings, whatever?  So
long as the TI approach of consensus is used, with co-ordinators and
facilitators, then the "old" hierarchical structure could not gain a
toehold. Those attending need not necessarily be TI members, and members
of other theosophy groups and societies might wish to be invited.  Most
TI members are also members of the "mainstream" Theosophy setups in any
case.
