Where have I been? | Did I leave Freemasonry?

Author: Juan Sepulveda May 10, 2022 Duration: 25:00

Hey Juan, where have you been?

You may have been wondering why hasn't there been an episode of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast in such a long time. Did I hang up my Masonic Apron? Did I turn in my Masonic Regalia and walked away from the Fraternity? In short, No. I never left.

In this candid episode, I open up about why I took an extended hiatus, what I decided to focus on, and what are my plans for this show in the future.

Hosted by Master Mason Juan Sepulveda, this series moves beyond the popular secrecy tropes to explore the fraternity's genuine role as a centuries-old system for personal development. Each episode feels like a thoughtful conversation, examining how Masonic principles and rituals have quietly influenced society and history while focusing on their core purpose: transforming a good individual into a better one. You'll hear discussions that delve into philosophical concepts, historical contexts, and the practical application of Masonic teachings in everyday life. This isn't just for members; it's crafted for anyone drawn to the study of self-improvement and the enduring questions about life's purpose.
