Our Philosophy
Who we are, what we believe, and what we do.
The horizon is a fascinating phenomenon and it represents a perfect equilibrium, encompassing everything ahead of and behind us. Imagine sitting in a boat, adrift in the middle of the ocean. The horizon, in this moment, would offer a flawless balance between what lies before and what stretches behind you.This equilibrium is the essence of the 21st Century Gentleman. A true modern gentleman harmonizes the past, present, and future. He carries forward values and traditions while embracing the innovative ideas that will shape tomorrow. But by it's nature the horizon is unreachable. And in much the same way, the pursuit of a better world is a journey without a definitive destination. So if you want to be a gentlemen, look to the horizon.
With the horizon established as the foundation of a 21st Century Gentleman, the next question is: what truly distinguishes a man with a balanced life from a gentleman?The answer lies in five defining characteristics: Creativity, Affability, Responsibility, Competence, and Sophistication. While the presence of one or two of these traits may not seem extraordinary, a dedication to even a single one elevated any man into the realm of gentlemanhood. Each of these traits forms the cornerstone of our Horizon Lodges, serving as a guide for personal growth and the pursuit of excellence. Together, they represent the essence of what it means to embody the ideals of a 21st Century Gentleman.
