‘New York to launch Académie Esoterica’

    

The Grand Lodge of New York will launch its Académie Esoterica in August to inculcate the meaning of Masonry in a long term series of classes and discussions, Grand Master Steven Adam Rubin announced this afternoon. Excerpted from his letter to the Craft:

I am pleased to introduce Académie Esoterica.

Freemasonry is an initiatic tradition that speaks in symbols, invites personal reflection, and guides us toward universal truths. It is this deeper journey, this inner path of growth and Light, that we now invite you to explore.

The Esoteric Classes of the Grand Lodge of New York are designed to enrich the mind and elevate the spirit. This multi-year program begins with two years of foundational study, followed by deeper explorations into the mysteries of our three degrees. Classes will be offered as monthly one-hour intensives, each paired with Esoteric Salons to engage in meaningful dialogue, debate and shared discovery.

The first-year course outline is above.

Registration details and the full schedule will follow shortly. Our first session, “The Goals of Esoteric Masonry,” launches at Grand Master’s Day at Camp Turk on Sunday, August 17 at noon. All Brothers are welcome.

Should you have any questions, please send an email here.

Grand Master’s Day at Camp Turk:

For all Brothers and families traveling from the Metro Area, round-trip bus transportation from Masonic Hall will be available for a small fee of $25. The bus is available to all, and not just those wishing to participate in the Esoteric Program. Bus payment details will be available after the Grand Lodge Session.

Should other Regions of the State wish to explore the possibility of a Grand Lodge/Trustee sponsored bus, please email RW Bro. Lorenzo Cesare here.

Come grow with us and seek Light with us, because within every Brother lies a greater self waiting to awaken.
