MONTEBELLI

The Path of the Light

Montebelli is a special place in Tuscany, in the heart of Italy, where every year in spring the meeting “The Path of the Light” is held. This gathering represents an important moment of reflection, spiritual work, and fraternal communion for the Brethren of the CGLEM as well as for friendly Obediences.

From the very beginning, the annual meeting has been created and organized by the Lodges Pasquale del Torto and Sebezia of the GLNLMI. Their continuous dedication over many months is essential to the unique character of this event and deserves appropriate recognition.

Each year, the meeting is guided by a new motto, which also shapes the lectures. The ritual itself is performed in several languages at a remarkable open-air place of power.

A central part of our remembrance is dedicated to our departed Brother Leonardo, the original host and initiator of this gathering. His commitment and spirit continue to accompany us and remain inseparably connected with Montebelli.

These two poles of time, opposite yet inextricably linked, form the foundation of our journey as Freemasons.

I delved deep within myself in search of the essential, the irreducible, the foundation that could give meaning to my existence. What is life? What is worth living for? Its been like navigation through this labyrinth: a journey in search of the right path, step by step, one crossroads after another.

June, 2021

Freemasonry has existed for more than 300 years for good reason, it has always been able to adapt perfectly to the changed framework conditions and its values are more in demand today than ever. However, the current circumstances now require even more flexibility to be displayed and meetings to be taken to another level.

The virtual Meeting I

“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” is the motto that stands out in our Temples, universal values that we share with the profane world, an area of common ideality in which the stones of the Temple of Humanity are formed, those worked in the light of the Freemasonry method and those worked in the light of the other Ways that...
