The Light Within: A Symposium on Practical Freemasonry

The Light Within

A Masonic Education Symposium

Join us for The Light Within, a one-day Masonic Education Symposium hosted at Orange Blossom Lodge No. 80 in Kissimmee, Florida.

This event is designed for Masons who are seeking deeper understanding, meaningful fellowship, and practical inspiration from the Craft. Throughout the day, Brothers will gather for a series of thoughtful presentations exploring Masonic teachings, symbolism, history, philosophy, and their real-life application

The symposium will feature presentations from S. Brent Morris, Robert Johnson, Jason Richards, and Hunter Adak, bringing together respected voices in Masonic education, research, writing, podcasting, symbolism, and practical application of the Craft. Topics and session details will be announced as the event approaches.

More than a day of lectures, The Light Within is an opportunity to reconnect with the purpose of our work, strengthen the bonds of Brotherhood, and leave with ideas that can be carried back into our lodges, homes, and daily lives.
