United States Grand Lodge Ordo Templi Orientis offers some direct educational programs that are outside of the Education Committee.
These include:
Advanced Initiator Training (AIT)
Advanced Initiator Training offers educational resources and training workshops to active, chartered initiators, facilitating their growth through the development of relevant skills. Additionally, AIT cultivates interest in, knowledgeability of, and zeal for our initiation rituals amongst O.T.O. members. U.S. Grand Lodge, Ordo Templi Orientis sponsors AIT. Training events are typically held twice per year at local bodies across the country.
The training is aimed at current Chartered Initiators who have already attended Initiator Training held by Certified Initiator Trainers and Sovereign Grand Inspectors General. However, if space is available, Master Magicians who have attended Initiator Training are welcome to attend. Presenters at AIT are experienced O.T.O. Initiators. All are either Certified Initiator Trainers or Sovereign Grand Inspectors General with years of education and experience in initiating the Man of Earth Degrees.
Led 2 Gold Leadership Program
Led 2 Gold (formerly Kaaba Colloquium) is the U.S.G.L. sponsored leadership training event. It has multiple channels of distribution, including online through the Virtual Workspace and the twice annual Roadshow open to members involved in local body leadership roles and all members of the First Degree. Held in various U.S. cities, the event features workshops, presentations, and discussions led by experienced leaders from across U.S.G.L., focusing on topics that enhance attendees’ skills in administration, community building, and personal growth. The program offers opportunities for members to connect with national leaders and build valuable networks.
