Triangle Astraea
An international, English-speaking Masonic triangle in Berlin, in the tradition of the French Rite.
About the triangleA Freemasonry of the Enlightenment, where reason, dialogue and symbolism are the tools for seeking truth.
No one is asked to believe anything. Believers of different faiths, agnostics and atheists meet as equals, and each person reads the symbols in their own way, as free thinkers should. Women and men stand side by side, with the same rights and the same voice.
Freemasonry, as the triangle understands it, does not give answers. It offers a method for asking better questions.
