​Evaluation Throughout the Pronaos

As you advance through the Pronaos, you will be invited to complete two evaluations designed to foster your development and confirm your readiness for the next stages.

• After four months, you will submit a first evaluation, accompanied by a report based on your personal journal.

• At the conclusion of the Pronaos, a more complete Inner Readiness and Integrity Evaluation will be required, along with your final report and a cover letter.

These evaluations are not examinations in the traditional sense; they are important milestones ensuring that each candidate is sincere, prepared, and in harmony with the spirit of the Tradition.

Completion of the Pronaos

Upon completing the Pronaos, you may apply for initiation.
Please be aware, however, that not all applications are accepted.
The selection process is strict and discerning, with the aim of welcoming only candidates who are sincere, serious, and well-balanced in their lives.

Traditionally, candidates are expected to have a sponsor who has been initiated for over ten years.
In exceptional cases, applications without a sponsor may be considered, although the selection process—reinforced since the beginning of 2025—remains rigorous.

If your application is accepted, you will be invited—alongside other candidates—to attend a private session spanning two days.
This session includes group and individual work, interviews, tests, and teachings.
It is typically organized twice a year and may or may not take place in your country.

Participation in this session is mandatory and does not guarantee initiation.
At the end of the weekend, you will be informed whether you have been validated to move forward.
Candidates who are not validated may be invited to revisit specific aspects of the Pronaos and reapply at a later time.

Those who are validated will be invited to receive their initiation in the following months.

Candidates with a sponsor will follow the same process, though their interviews will differ slightly, as their sponsor assumes part of the responsibility for their moral qualities.

Finally, please note:
If a candidate withdraws without a clear and valid reason accepted by the hierarchy of the Order, they will not be permitted to reapply for initiation.
