What are the implications of embracing a philosophy or lifestance in this ever changing and challenging world? How can Humanism inform our choices and guide our interactions with others? These are some of the questions we’re discussing in our online group called “Exploring Humanism.”

We meet once a month, on the 1st Sunday, on Zoom to share our thoughts on the basic tenets of Humanism, along with Humanist approaches to an array of social issues and problems.

Our Exploring Humanism series on the Ten Commitments has concluded. We’ll be back in February 2025 with a new program. 

In Series II, we’re exploring the Ten Commitments, a set of Humanist values and principles that promote a democratic world in which every individual’s worth and dignity is respected, nurtured, and supported, and where human freedom and ethical responsibility are natural aspirations for everyone. The Ten Commitments have been developed by the American Humanist Association Center for Education to assist us with putting our values into action to work towards positively impacting our communities and society.

Each month a discussion leader will offer a short presentation on one of the commitments.

Our meetings require advance registration. [Link to Series II discussions has been removed.]
After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email from Zoom with the link to
