“The Missing Degree!”

Presented by Bro. Michael LaRocco

RSVP here

Free and open to the public

Through his lecture, Bro. Michael LaRocco will explore the parallels between Freemasonry and ancient rites of passage to manhood. Drawing from the men’s spirituality movement, LaRocco will examine the components of rites of passage, how the absence of such rites manifest negatively in our lives, and how the esoteric symbolism of Freemasonry can fill a need and become The Hero’s Journey, providing a path for masculine self-actualization.

Michael LaRocco is a 32° Scottish Rite Mason, a Royal Arch and Cryptic Mason, and a Knight Templar. He also is Magus Templi (founder and presiding officer) of the Magus Guild of the Valley of Rockville Centre, whose mission is to increase the esoteric experience of Scottish Rite Masonry.

The library is located on the 14^th floor of Masonic Hall, located at 71 West 23^rd Street in Manhattan. Photo ID is required to enter the building. RSVP here.

This lecture is sponsored by the Fourth Manhattan District and Helena Valley Winery.
