| What happens during a Masonic meeting? |
| Each meeting is opened according to an immutable ritual, which enables each participant to free her mind in order to be creative and attentive to others. A debate on symbolic, philosophical or social themes then follows, according to specific rules. |

| Why an initiation? |

| What does a woman Mason do in her daily life? |
| She is a committed citizen who practices the values of Freemason in her family, social and professional environment. She concretely contributes to promote the values of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Tolerance. |
|
|
| Why the secret? |
| Is there really a secret? Initiation can only be understood by experiencing it. Its content is thus incommunicable. Moreover, though each Mason is free to reveal his or her own membership, in no case may he or she divulge the membership of his or her fellow Masons. |

| Who are the women Freemasons? |
