‘Esoteric Festive Board’

     

I definitely would attend this promising evening if not for already planning to be here the very next morning, but there’s no reason why you can’t go. From the publicity:

The Grand Lodge of Connecticut’s Committee on Masonic Education and Meridian Lodge 77 will cohost this Esoteric Festive Board. If you never had a deeper discussion into the esoteric side of Freemasonry, this is a great opportunity for you to learn more. A series of starter topics will lead to group discussions where you and other esoterically aligned brethren will share perspectives on each topic.

We will have a wonderful dinner. Tickets are available here to secure your spot at this great event.

     

‘Esoteric Seminar this summer’

     

Connecticut Freemasons have been enjoying this event for some years, but I’m just learning of it now, so I share it here. On Saturday, July 29, the brethren will meet at Ashlar Village (73 Cheshire Road in Wallingford) for a daylong offering of various classes for their communal advancement in Masonic knowledge. I’ll be sure to share the details (such as if Masons from outside Connecticut may attend) when they become available, but in the meantime, this is what they say:

Our much anticipated Esoteric Seminar is back for 2017! Much like in previous years, the schedule will consist of a keynote address and a total of nine unique classes to choose from. (Brothers will have their choice to attend one class out of the three available choices during each of the three time slots.) This Seminar will be open to any Master Mason. Please note, a current and valid dues card will be required to gain admission. More information, class details, and registration information coming soon, until then, please save the date!
