Our panel explores the barriers that prevent brothers from diving into the &quot;deeper mysteries&quot; and considers whether the intellectual spark of Freemasonry has truly faded or simply moved to the fringes of the fraternity. Join us as we reflect on the importance of reclaiming our contemplative roots and how to revitalize the pursuit of light in an age of distraction.
