The Valley of Palm Springs

Brethren and Visitors,

Every new year brings its own questions, not only for our Valley, but for each Mason who stops by to learn more about us. One question I often return to is this:

What does it truly mean to be a Mason today — beyond titles, beyond routine, beyond comfort?

In every Lodge and every Valley, there are Brothers who wear the square and compasses, yet never step beyond the surface.

And then there are those few who continue seeking… seeking Light, seeking understanding, seeking ways to make our Craft meaningful in a world that desperately needs meaning.

Our Valley is rebuilding, rethinking, and reshaping its future. We are not trying to be the biggest. We are trying to be the most authentic. A Valley where Brothers challenge themselves, where ritual is not just performed but understood, where leadership is service, and where our actions outside the Lodge matter just as much as what we say inside it.

If you are a Mason visiting our website today, I invite you to ask yourself:

Do I want to be part of a Valley that is not afraid to grow, change, and improve?
Do I still hunger for Light, or have I become comfortable in the shadows of familiarity?
Do I want to contribute to something real, something active, something that requires my presence…not just my dues card?

If the answer is yes, then come meet us. Sit with us. Work with us. Challenge us, and let us challenge you in return.

The Scottish Rite is not for everyone.

But it is for those who feel that quiet voice inside saying, “There is more.”

If that is you, then maybe, just maybe — you belong here.
