Modern life offers endless opportunities to connect, yet surprisingly few places where meaningful conversation, genuine friendship, and thoughtful reflection can flourish.
Pacific Moon is a progressive Masonic Lodge serving Redwood City and the broader San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, and southern Alameda County.
We bring together thoughtful individuals who seek personal growth, meaningful fellowship, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Many organizations offer friendship. Others provide education, networking, or community service.
Freemasonry combines these within a centuries-old tradition of symbolism, reflection, and shared development. It is a lifelong journey of learning, friendship, and ethical growth.
People from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences are welcome to participate fully in our community.
Our members come from diverse religious, philosophical, cultural, and personal backgrounds, united not by dogma, but by a shared commitment to respect, inquiry, and human dignity.
Visitors frequently describe our atmosphere as thoughtful, welcoming, sincere, and refreshingly free from social posturing.
Assembly
Members and guests assemble in the Lodge, renewing the bonds of friendship and preparing for an evening of shared work and reflection.
Ritual & Lodge Work
We open and conduct our Lodge according to the traditions of Freemasonry, engaging in ritual, administrative business, and the collective governance of our community. Through these practices, members participate in a living initiatic tradition that emphasizes personal responsibility, symbolism, and mutual support.
Masonic Education & Fellowship
Most meetings include a presentation, discussion, or educational program exploring Masonic symbolism, philosophy, ethics, history, science, culture, or contemporary issues. Following the formal work of the Lodge, members and guests gather in fellowship to continue conversations and strengthen the ties that unite us.
Men and women participate as equals.
Freedom of conscience is fully respected.
Diverse worldviews are welcomed.
Our work is rooted in the historic
French Rite tradition.
Friendship, symbolism, and personal development are woven together in a single experience.
