The Masonic Legacy Society and
The Scottish Rite Valley of Washington D.C.

A Unique Masonic Education Night with Academy Award Winning Brother Richard Dreyfuss

September 3, 2021 — Washington D.C. — The Masonic Legacy Society with The Scottish Rite Valley of Washington D.C. proudly present a unique Masonic education night with Academy Award winning actor, Brother Richard Dreyfuss, 32˚ on September 17, 2021 at 7pm EDT (4pm PDT). This will be a webinar event; open to Masons only.

In 2026, the United States will celebrate its 250th Anniversary…

Are we ready for that? What is the common ground on which we can engage one another constructively as citizens in today’s polarized America? And what about Freemasonry and the role of Freemasons?

Imagine what would happen to Freemasonry if, due to the absence of Masonic Education, its members were to become ignorant of its tenets, cardinal virtues, and core mission? A Freemason would lose the knowledge of the tools, implements and skills needed to better himself as a Free Builder.

Likewise, imagine what would happen to America if, due to the absence of Civics Education, its citizens were to become ignorant of the core principles of freedom and democratic republican self-governance? Americans would lose the knowledge of the tools, mechanisms, and skills needed to engage one another constructively for the purpose of advancing their human condition.

Tune in to a most interesting conversation with Academy Award Winner and Brother Richard Dreyfuss, 32°, who will enlighten us with his perspective as a Freemason on Civics and Civic Engagement. The conversation, sponsored by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, will be facilitated by members of the Masonic Legacy Society.

The event will take place in the form of a webinar on Friday, September 17, 2021 (Constitution Day) from 7 PM to 8 PM EDT. Open to Masons Only.

About the Masonic Legacy Society

In 2017, a fantastic group of Masons from around the nation gathered in Washington D.C. with the generous help of the John E. Fetzer Memorial Trust (now dissolved). The group evolved over three years, and all the while, it was working on a secret project--A carefully crafted document, The Art of Practicing Our Mysteries. The group's ambitious goal was, simply stated, "To deepen one's awareness of and experience with the practice of Freemasonry." The hope was that Freemasonry might reawaken the spirit of the past, revitalize the Craftsmen within our temples, and preserve the Great Experiment well past our Country’s 250th anniversary.

Since its launch, the Masonic Legacy Society has presented its unique approach to thousands around the globe. It has enabled Freemasons to explore their inner depths to find philosophical meaning in the ritual and practical meaning in their lives. Some have described the Masonic Legacy Society as "The missing piece of Freemasonry in the 21st century." Freemasonry continues to be the repository--the archive of divine Truths and philosophies that have changed and shaped the world. The modern Mason, through contemplation and open discussions, will plumb the depths of this archive and put what he finds there to use to make his world a better place.

Brothers,

In December of 2019, I was invited to meet in Phoenix, AZ with a group of Masons to work on a project sponsored by the John E. Fetzer Memorial Trust. We produced a document titled "Practicing the Art of Our Mysteries," intended to help Freemasons, as well as seekers interested in our Noble Craft, gain a deeper understanding and practice of the Masonic initiatic path. It is concise, free, and immediately applicable by anyone. A companion Facilitator's Guide is also available for use by those who want to help others learn and practice the methods in the original document and will be available very soon.

Our group calls itself "The Masonic Legacy Society." We exist not as an organized entity, and are not recruiting members, but simply as a society of Masons who shared this experience over the past two years and were inspired by the life and legacy of our late Brother John E. Fetzer of MI.

The website of the Masonic Legacy Society is at http://www.MasonicLegacySociety2026.com and has the document and soon, the Facilitator's Guide. In addition, we have created the following social media accounts which you are free to follow: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Please visit the site, use the document and guide, and spread the word among your networks as widely as possible. This is meant to be an empowering tool for Freemasons and Freemasonry!

The Masonic Legacy Society are Masons finding meaning through personal contemplation, practical application, and the exercise of freewill.
