Council Recruitment

Council members shape curriculum, mentorship standards, and the future direction of the Temple.

Temple of the Jedi will be guided by a Council of 12, including Head Consular, Guardian, and Sentinel roles. We are now accepting applications for council members. Willing candidates must register and complete all Votary Courses. You will then be able to request review and council will then approve or deny your request for an interview. All results are private unless you publish them in the Archives database.

Prior Jedi Training & Accredited Temples

Jedi who have trained at other Temples—online or offline—or hold other recognized degrees or experience will have their credentials considered. Currently, the following Temples are formally recognized:

- International Jedi Federation (IJF)
- Temple of the Jedi Order (TOTJO)

All prior experience will be reviewed after completion of the sample Votary courses, ensuring that incoming Jedi understand our system and can integrate smoothly.

Until the Council is established, no Jedi will receive the rank of Master. Only the most accredited Jedi who have knighted others will receive this title. Prior Knights and mentors from recognized Temples will have their titles honored while the Council is formed.

Temple of the Jedi is inspired by the spirituality within Star Wars and was founded in 2024 to mentor real-world Jedi on their path to enlightenment and understanding of the Force.

Our system is grounded in three pillars—Knowledge, Self-Discipline, and the Force—exploring esoteric, scientific, philosophical, and metaphysical teachings as expressions of the Force.

We cultivate Jedi capable of bridging societal divides with diplomacy, compassion, and reason, while respecting the Light, Dark, and Grey aspects of the Force.

Courses & What We Teach

Training at Temple of the Jedi evolves with the Jedi. Courses emphasize reflection, application, and service rather than memorization.

• Foundational Jedi philosophy, ethics, and history
• Meditation, mindfulness, and emotional regulation
• Critical thinking, discipline, and personal responsibility
• Applied Force studies and experiential awareness
• Leadership, teaching, and service-based learning

As students progress, they may pursue specialized paths aligned with their strengths and calling.

Jedi Sentinel Path

• Temple Guardian — Focused on the protection of the Temple and its knowledge, this training emphasizes security protocols, defensive tactics, and vigilance. Sentinels who earn this credit serve as protectors of both physical and spiritual sanctity.

Jedi Consular Path

• Nature — Dedicated to harmony with the natural world, this training explores ecological balance, conservation, and the healing energies of nature. Consulars deepen their understanding of interconnected life through direct experience with the living Force.

Mentorship & Mastery

Mentorship is central to all training. One-on-one and small-group guidance adapts lessons to the Jedi, not the other way around.

Mastery is recognized through service, teaching, humility, research, and lasting contributions to the Temple and its Archives.

Grand Masters embody lifelong dedication, elder wisdom, and preservation of Jedi knowledge for future generations.

Retreats & Events

Retreats and workshops immerse participants in meditation, philosophy, lightsaber training, and applied Jedi practice. Events may be virtual or in-person.
