‘Lecture: Hidden Within the Star’

    

This month’s lecture at the Chancellor Robert R. Livingston Masonic Library will bring Simone-Monet Wahls to the lectern to discuss something that I would call unexpected. From the publicity:

Simone-Monet Wahls

Searching for deeper meaning, Simone-Monet will share links and connections she has found relating to the Order of Eastern Star.

A writer and speaker across many genres, Simone-Monet Wahls is a Past Matron of Nassau Chapter 718 and currently an Associate Matron of Alpha Chapter 1. She has been an advisor in both Masonic youth groups, DeMolay and Rainbow, since 2016. She also has been facilitator of the AMORC of the Americas Reading Room sessions from 2020 to 2023. 

     

‘Friday: The Feminine Divine’

     
Never before have I heard of an Eastern Star chapter hosting an event like this, so I cannot resist forwarding the news. On Friday, Lorelei Chapter 581 will welcome Michelle Snyder, Ph.D. to present “The Feminine Divine.”
