4th Sunday - 4:00 pm Monthly Chapter Meeting.
Like every dynamic organization, we have regular activities. At present, we have our monthly meetings, on the 4th Sunday of the month. Most months we have a speaker on a topic related to humanism or of interest to humanists. We meet at Jefferson Unitarian Church 14350 W 32nd Ave, Golden, CO (map). Go to Meetup.com to see when the monthly meeting is and who will be speaking.
1st Saturday - Death Cafe
The Death Cafe is a thoughtful space where we explore all aspect of the death and dying experience together. Sharing our experiences enriches our understanding and eases our uncertainties. Everyone is welcome to this confidential gathering of gentle spirits and curious minds.
1st Monday - JH Salon
The JH Salon is an opportunity to practice civil discourse and explore the many sides of an issue. Begun in Paris in the 1700s, the salons gathered the illuminati “to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation” In this time of divide we need a place to practice the art of converstion. You can check us out on meetup.com or our calendar page.
