The concept and experience of spirituality does not have to have a religious  connotation. Human beings need an explanation of their cosmic journey, and a  story of human evolution that gives meaning to their lives. A science based  explanation and story is in need to be told and to be enriched by the diversity  of our human diversity and cultures.

In this presentation spirituality will be defined as a naturalistic, scientific,  ethical, philosophical, secular process that can enlarge your sense of self,  participation and meaning in life.

Given that humanity is facing an evolutionary crisis, we each need to create a  sense of purpose and meaning that not only enriches our lives but also  contributes toward the transformation of our evolutionary crisis.

Slides for this outstanding presentation are available here.

Manuel is the director of the Center for Evolutionary Leadership, which develops  leaders for building a just, flourishing, and sustainable world. He is also a  leadership coach and organizational consultant.

Humanist Manifesto Discussion

Sandy Smith and Arthur Jackson, Coordinators

November 11, 2012

 

What does Humanism mean to you?  What would you include in a Humanist Manifesto for yourself?  At today’s Forum we will discuss these questions, compare ideas, and learn something about the range of ideas Humanists have.

Material from the 10/7/12 program, “Humanist Manifestos” by Sandy Smith will be available prior to this meeting.

The group divided into tables of six for thought-provoking discussions of  ideas for inclusion in a Manifesto.

Have you ever thought about writing your own personal Humanist Manifesto?  Sandy Smith, a member of the Humanist Community, will give a brief history of the Humanist Manifestos written under the auspices of the American Humanist Association and other organizations, and then there will be an opportunity for you to consider how you would write your own.

Sandy’s slides provide an excellent history of  Humanist Manifestos:
