9:00 AM — Worthy Brother Jonah Butler – “Laboring in the Temple: The Middle Pillar of the Masonic Lodge”

In a Lodge of Masons, we are told of the specific Temple geographies of the three Ancient Craft Degrees (EA in Outer Courtyard, FC in Middle Chamber, MM in Sanctum Sanctorum) in which a Lodge of each Degree operates. This presentation seeks to provide a brief symbological overview of these Temple geographies and an argument for how these mental/spiritual venues can inform the particular labor of each Degree, both collectively and individually, and invite each Lodge to consider how this opens up new avenues for a Lodge’s operation, ceremony, and education. 

10:30 AM — Worshipful Brother Turner England – “The Discipline of Light”

The Discipline of Light explores the metaphor of Light in relation to preparation, gradual advancement, and sanctification before illumination is granted. You are invited to consider what it means to be in darkness before being brought to Light.

12:00 PM — Lunch 
Meal: Barbeque with a vegetarian option.

1:00 PM — Worshipful Brother Kevin Fuller -“Astrology and Freemasonry: The Masonic Lodge and the Astrological Chart” 

This presentation will highlight some correspondences with the layout of the Masonic Lodge room and Astrological chart reading. It will go over the similarities in orientation, emphasize the likeness in the important stations, and offer a glimpse into the possibility of an Astrological allegory. 

2:30 PM — Worthy Brother Nathan Norris – “Rosicrucian Atrium Convocation Ritual”

An Atrium Convocation is a formal contemplative gathering rooted in the Rosicrucian tradition. The space is symbolically oriented toward the East and prepared with traditional ritual elements. The convocation includes ceremonial light, sacred intonation, silent meditation, and a brief philosophical discourse, concluding with a communal affirmation.
