Operational groups exist on Great Barrier Island and in Auckland City, New Zealand.http://www.guardians-sanctuary.org/ Retrieved 2017-May-05 Independent groups no longer under the auspices of the society, but continuing its teachings and practices also exist in Australia (Bet Yerusha Sanctuary). Traditionally, each sanctuary is limited to 22 members who are described as "technical mystics". Although small in comparison to Orders such as the Golden Dawn, many members of the public benefited from the classes and correspondence courses conducted by the Guardians, before their Mt. Eden sanctuary closed after the death of the late Senior Guardian Michel Corbold (aka Michael Freedman) in 1996.
