Membership

Membership of the Order is by application or invitation only (usually after attending the public services for 6 months to a year), getting to know the Guardian and other members and undergoing a period of preparation, spiritual study, and discernment. Members undertake to develop a daily spiritual practice of contemplative prayer, meditation, service, and spiritual study. 

Members may attend the Seasonal Ceremonies held four times a year in March, June, September, and November to mark the seasonal cycles of Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer. The Ceremonies are participatory and held in a sacred circle with candles and incense and draw on the Celtic Catholic and Mystical Christian traditions. During the ceremonies we  honour the four elements of creation and the archangels and  take part in meditation, prayer, chant, seasonal readings, and ceremony.
