About
A path of inner work.
Freemasonry is the art of shaping oneself — turning the rough stone into a living Temple of Wisdom, Strength, and Beauty. More than a fraternity: a discipline.
The Lodge
Welcome to No. 9.
In Lynn, Massachusetts, our Lodge is a living Temple where tradition meets modern light. Women and men work side by side in unity, respect, and purpose. Inspired by the spirit of the Essenes, we cultivate four principles —
- Harmony
- l’harmonie
- Balance
- l’équilibre
- Truth
- la vérité
- Spiritual growth
- l’élévation

Some traditions and rituals are private. Our values, purpose, and community work are open and visible.
