Our history began in 1982 as a result of the inspiration and vision of WMEA’s founder and president, Rev. Joleen D. DuBois. From the very beginning, Joleen was committed to providing an atmosphere in which spiritual students could strive and bloom.

In the beginning years, WMEA offered weekly classes, and monthly group meditation meetings. But it was not long before our services expanded to include our current Class-by-Tape Program, and two intensive leadership programs, which were created for those who felt called to become a teacher of the Ageless Wisdom or an ordained minister. It was not long thereafter that we began to have Sunday Meetings which included a weekly virtues class for children and eventually teens.

As the organization grew, WMEA’s vision also expanded, reaching out to provide services not just locally but nationally and globally. This included Correspondence meditation courses that began to pave the way for long-distance communication and learning. We expanded our newsletter, Meditation Monthly, and began to send out a new bimonthly newsletter, Meditation Monthly International that included articles from fellow esotericists from all over the world.

WMEA entered into the realm of publishing, producing compilations of the Teaching; booklets (On Keeping a Spiritual Diary); and releasing new and rare books: Spiritual Regeneration by Torkom Saraydarian; At the Threshold of the New World by Helena Roerich, the second volume of which is currently under production; Dayspring of Youth by M.; and the Torchbearers’ Children's Program teacher’s guide.

The story of White Mountain is a story of group labor and cooperation. Throughout the years, WMEA group members and friends have participated in a plethora of activities, from musical productions and choir performances, to public lectures and seminars, to holiday productions and anniversary celebrations. In 1989, the WMEA choir recorded an audiotape, titled “Vision,” and in the year 2000, its first CD, “Giver of Light.” These musical offerings bring to the Teachings to sound. Included in the CD are ancient prayers set to music, original works by Joleen (an accomplished musician and composer), and by various choir members. WMEA continues to provide valuable opportunities for spiritual students to learn about themselves and work together in an atmosphere of joy.

As a community church, White Mountain pastoral services include spiritual counseling, wedding services, baptismal rites, memorial services, prayer lists for healing, and hospital and nursing home visitations. All sacraments are performed by ministers of the White Mountain Educational Association.

In 1992, WMEA moved its headquarters to Prescott, Arizona, and three years later, set up its website, which today provides an exciting avenue into the Ageless Wisdom Teachings.

Each year, WMEA holds its spring convention, which brings students together from all over the United States and abroad to share in the Teachings and to learn about one another’s unique talents.

But may we say that the year 2002 has been the most exciting yet? With the inauguration of the St. Sergius University & Seminary, WMEA now has an on-line college for transformational studies and living ethics, which is attracting students worldwide.
