==Career==
Born in Ireland, John Varian and his wife, Agnes became members of the Theosophical Society in Dublin where the movement attracted literary figures such as W. B. Yeats, James Cousins, and others. The Varians emigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1894,〔A. Hammond, p. 14〕 first settling in Syracuse, New York. There, the Varians became involved with a theosophical group headed by William Dower. When Dower moved to Halcyon, California, they joined him in 1914, shortly after its founding. Halcyon was a utopian community that included a sanatorium for the treatment of liquor, morphine, and opium addiction. The community had elements of socialism and some communal property.〔Utopian Communities:Halcyon〕 There, John Varian became a leader of the Temple of the People,〔 simultaneously working with Dower as a chiropractor and masseur,〔〔 while Agnes was the first Halcyon storekeeper and postmistress.〔
