While this may seem heretical, this penetrating analysis reveals why current educational practices are actually driving members away from Lodge nights and how a simple restructuring can transform both attendance and engagement.

The solution lies not in abandoning education, but in reimagining when and where it happens. By returning regular meetings to their core purpose of degree work and moving education to more effective settings, Lodges can create both stronger ceremonies and deeper learning experiences. This fresh framework offers a practical path to revitalize Lodge meetings while strengthening, not weakening, Masonic education.
