Begin Your Journey

"If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all."

THE 2026 COHORT IS OPEN

Joining MAAOoT isn't filling out a form and waiting for approval. It's beginning a conversation. One that could reshape everything that follows.

​

Ask yourself a question. Have you ever felt like you're forgetting something important? Not your keys or an appointment, but something essential about who you are and why you're here? Have you ever sensed that beneath the daily routines and surface concerns, there's a deeper knowing trying to emerge? A wisdom you know is in you, but are unable to articulate, like you've lost the ability to manifest it. If you're nodding right now, you're not imagining things. You're experiencing what early philosophers called anamnesis – the deep recognition that we know more than we remember, that within us lies wisdom we've forgotten how to access. Acolytes of our order are taught to uncover and actualise this forgotten truth.

THE FIRST STEP: COMPLETE EXPLORATION

Before you can apply, we ask that you move through this entire site. Not as a hurdle, but as an initiation itself. Each page reveals another facet of our Order. Our mission, our methods, our expectations. By the time you reach the application, you'll know whether this path resonates in your bones, not just your mind.

​

This deliberate process serves us both:

​

  • You learn whether we offer what you genuinely seek

  • We receive applications only from those who understand the commitment

  • Moving through the site becomes your first practice in patience and thoroughness

THE APPLICATION: YOUR TRUE INTRODUCTION

At the site's conclusion, you'll find our application form. This isn't a standard questionnaire but an invitation to honest self-reflection. The questions we ask will require you to examine your motivations, your readiness, your capacity for commitment. There are no right answers. Only true ones.

​

Complete it thoughtfully. Rush serves neither of us.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE PERFECT. YOU NEED TO BE READY

We seek those who:

​

  • Have genuinely examined every page, understanding our complete offering

  • Can articulate why THIS path, not just any path

  • Possess the stability and commitment for multi-year transformation

  • Feel called to preserve wisdom, not just consume it

  • Value depth over speed, transformation over information

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Once we receive your application, it enters careful review. This isn't about grades or achievements but about readiness, fit, and timing. If selected for the next phase, you'll be invited to a Discovery Conversation with one of our Preceptors. The first real meeting on what could become a lifetime path.

Take your time. Bookmark this page so that you can return to it, so you can complete this process on your own terms and in your own time.
