Freemasonry is a centuries-old, world-wide secular brotherhood with a method for teaching people to understand themselves, to relate to others and celebrate the differences. For those seeking it, Freemasonry offers a fraternal environment which teaches a method of meaning that, with the help of rituals and symbols, leads to self-development, brotherhood and – as a result – a better society.
