AFTERNOON TALK

Sun, Aug 9, 5:00 AM

4.6

All our events are now held at Humanist House in Chippendale. Details of speakers and topics will be advertised as soon as they become available. NSW Humanist Meetup is sponsored by the Humanist Society of NSW. The views of invited speakers are not necessarily held by the HSNSW. The HSNSW encourages honest, open conversations held in a respectful manner. ABOUT HUMANISM Humanism is a flexible, open-minded life philosophy where we explore our common humanity in an awesome world without theism (religion) and other supernatural beliefs. There is no dogma but a shared reality and an appreciation of basic human values like compassion, reason, and fairness. Humanism can be seen in the best aspects of the modern Enlightenment - secularism, science, social democracy, human rights, and human flourishing. We have a concern for the biosphere, and a delight in the world as it is - and as it could be. Our discussions respect reason, respect one another, and reject all dogmatic thinking.

We play by three simple rules: 1. **Totally friendly** \- everyone should feel like they’re among friends\. Come with no expectations\, and leave excited for the next event\. 2. **No dating or selling** \- this space is purely for making friends and genuine connections\. 3. **Ages 25–35** \- to keep things feeling relatable\, meetups are for those within this age range\. If you have any questions, just drop a note in the event chat on the day – we’re happy to help and say hi before you arrive.
