I joined the Theosophical Society in my 20s. They have regular meetings/discussions. Others like the Anthroposophical Society have meetings and community employment initiatives. Then there's joining a monastery or church.

Lots of good stuff in being with people in any spiritual group setting providing you don't become blindly attached to the tenets of the philosophy (cult-think). Easier to avoid that trap with an esoteric philosophy. Esotericism asks the student to come to truth via the development of their meditative life and intuitive faculties. Whereas religious organizations expect the follower to simply take up and embrace the specific truths and beliefs of that particular religion.
