This week at the , Head of Freemasonry in Buckinghamshire, Tim Anders, and his team introduced Project Transform – a bold step forward in enhancing Masonic ceremonies.
“It is both a privilege and a pleasure to stand before you today,” Tim began, thanking RW Bro John Clark and the Pro Grand Master for their support. He explained the project’s core principle: “Yes, we can honour tradition if we’re prepared to meet the needs of the modern Mason.”
Launched in 2023, Project Transform aims to make every meeting memorable by using lighting and sound to amplify the emotional impact of the experience. “We’ve sought not to change our ceremony but to enhance it – to draw out the emotional power already present,” Tim said. “This isn’t theatre for theatre’s sake. It’s about deepening the candidate’s journey and making Freemasonry feel vivid, relevant, and resonant.”
The technology is simple and user-friendly, but the effect is profound. “Even the most traditional Brethren have told us how surprised and moved they were by what they saw—and, more importantly, what they felt,” Tim noted.
Importantly, Tim extended an open invitation to all: “We are delighted to share our documents, resources, and lessons learnt with every province so that the Project Transform experience can be recreated wherever you are.”
A highlight has been the involvement of the Light Blues, who now play a key role in ceremonies, strengthening their connection to the Craft. “Every Brother raised in a lodge using Transform is still engaged, active, and enthusiastic about their Freemasonry.”
Tim closed with a message of optimism: “Let us move forward together, inspired by our past, energised in our present, and optimistic for the future.” Project Transform, as showcased in Grand Lodge, is lighting the way for a new era of meaningful Masonic experience.
Following the meeting, the Buckinghamshire Freemasons dined at the Concert Artistes’ Association – an historic private members’ club in Covent Garden, renowned as a welcoming hub for entertainment professionals since 1897. The evening was brought to life by the Light Blues, who performed a roaring rendition of “We Are the Champions” by Queen, linking the traditions of Freemasonry with the vibrant legacy of London’s performing arts community.
