June 11, 2022 – An Introduction to Symbolism
This is a revision of the initial course offered by the Maine Masonic College. Symbolism is a critical element in experiencing Freemasonry. We will observe and discuss how symbolism is also an integral part in everyone’s life.

Second, each participant will complete an exercise to help identify his/her core values.

Finally, participants will bring these 3 elements together in the form of a Personal Brand statement providing the road map of how they interact with others and contribute to group accomplishments.
To Register: IMPORTANT: Participants must complete their on-line CliftonStrengths assessment and provide their Top 5 Talents to Malcolm (at the email below) one week in advance of the class. Doing so will register the participant for the class.
