Mentoring Matters WhatsApp Group
Building Together is UGLE’s new initiative and aims to provide a fundamental and useful blueprint for communicating the benefits and core values of Freemasonry to new and existing members by:
Enabling personal growth, building friendships, and supporting communities, through timeless tradition.
The Building Together: Digital Quick Start Guide is an interactive pdf document with links to Solomon and a multitude of other resources. You can download it below or access it through Solomon.
Solomon has been developed by UGLE and is a fantastic source of information.
The Solomon Academy takes the development of an individual even further with four modules culminating in a Diploma.
The modules are designed to enhance understanding of each Craft degree and Chapter and we would encourage you and your members to take a look. The following images provide links to each of the modules:
The Mentor’s Corner within Solomon has been specifically created with mentoring in mind.
It provides a plethora of ideas and guidance with bitesize Snippets of information that are ideal content for lodge meetings.
