The Lodge is not affiliated with a church, nor does it promote a specific religious of spiritual practice. Yet, the Lodge encourages its members to contemplate on meaning of life issues and the common good of all human beings. The Lodge underwrites the awareness that each human being has the potential to create a purposeful and rewarding life.
Our slogan is "Celebrating Greatness in Self and Others." With that comes a commitment to nurture, utilize and stretch our potential: body, mind and spirit.
At the Lodge we believe that every human being possess the qualities to create a full and rewarding life. We recognize and celebrate greatness in one-another, starting with our own. After all, if we are not able to connect with our own magnificence, we will never be able to truly see the potential in others.
Additionally, we believe that we will be more likely to fully reach our innate potential when we go about it in a holistic fashion: body, mind and spirit. These seemingly separate domains are connected and support each other. Consequently, the Lodge offers activities that promote expansion in these areas.

Cardiovascular exercise boots endorphins which can help to reduce stress hormones and alleviate mild depression. Regular exercise can improve mod and self esteem.
