The Three-Step Process
Apply
Our online application makes it quick and simple to apply for those seekers interested in joining! Once you’ve filled out the application, please allow for 24-48 hours for our team to respond. Once we’ve received your application and responded, we’ll schedule an interview with you.
Interview
We schedule all of our interviews through a schedule Zoom meeting. During this interview, we discuss what it’s like being in the Order with you as well as go over general, beginning curriculum. We want to make sure that joining is the right choice for you!
Approval
All applicants must be approved by our regency’s Entry Committee. Once approved, you’ll receive an email with all your login information, an invoice for your first month’s dues, and a guide to joining the Order of the White Road. If you are within a regency territory, you will also be set up with that regency (you can choose to opt-out of a regency if you want to go solo).
Only he who sees the labyrinth from above can know every path. Elevate the mind and you will never lose your way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I become a member?
It depends on the level of communication between you and the OWR. We take 24 – 48 hours to review the application, then we must schedule the interview, and then your application has to be approved by our Entry Committee. The quickest approval of a new member for us has been a week.
Why is there an application process?
The Order of the White Road is a non-profit, fraternal organization that dedicates itself to its mission in the world: to preserve the ancient mysteries and pass them on to the next generation. Many of these mysteries have been passed down through hundreds of generations from master to student; an unbroken chain of tradition.
We take that tradition seriously. The OWR does not teach students but teachers. Our application process ensures that each student who enters the Order does so when they are mentally and emotionally prepared to tackle the weighty, spiritual, and ethical questions that await them in instruction.
The questions on the application do something else besides: it ensures that we know where each individual student begins which better arms instructors and mentors to cater to the individual needs of every member.
What are dues?
The Order of the White Road (OWR) is a 501-C3 organization and operates on a non-profit basis. The OWR is, therefore, dependant upon its individual members to support its mission. Dues are a small monthly fee that varies depending on location and activity level that the student wishes to pursue within the OWR. These dues cover crucial items such as learning materials and necessary operating expenses.
It should be noted that neither our teachers, instructors, or mentors receive a salary for the work they perform for the OWR.
How much are dues?
Dues for a strictly online student for the OWR are only $29.99/month but this price can change for members of individual regencies depending on that regency’s need.
Regencies are each ran by regency councils where each paying member has a vote on the price of their own due. Because it costs different amounts to live and provide activities in different areas, and because each regency differs in size, each regency sets its own membership price on top of the base $29.99.
This extra money goes to provide crucial support to individual regencies which allows its members to have in-person meetups as opposed to just online. These include special events, building expenses, and utilities.
