MEMBERSHIP ESSENTIALS
Joining
You may join as a Member of a Lodge or Centre (a local group) or directly via Headquarters as White Lotus Member. You are encouraged to join the Lodge or Centre nearest to you because of the greater fellowship this brings and better opportunity to explore and learn about theosophy through regular talks and study groups and by meeting knowledgeable members. Members and visitors often find it liberating to connect with like-minded people. Lodge/Centre meetings are very welcoming, and we respect people’s individuality.
The membership year runs from 1st October to 30th September and Membership fees are a modest £20 per year. As a Lodge Member, you may also need to make a small contribution to your branch to help with local running costs. You may apply to join via one of our branches, who will let you have a form and process your application. Or, if you live far away from any of our branches, you may apply to join as a White Lotus Member via our National Headquarters.
