9th Annual Winter Solstice/HumanLight Celebration and CT FoodShare Fundraiser
Details
Join us for our 9th Annual Winter Solstice/HumanLight Zopen House!
This year we would like you to bring a virtual gift to share with everyone if you are so inclined but don't feel obligated. If you choose to, please come prepared to share something uplifting with the group that brings you joy or is helping you cope during the pandemic. Take a minute or two to share and describe your recommendation. Some ideas include: books, poetry, music, recipes, favorite cocktails, hobbies, movies/documentaries, streaming series to binge-watch, stupid pet tricks, a short description of a new scientific finding, etc...please feel free to be creative. You are also welcome to sing a song, read a poem, share a short video, play an instrument with the group during the event etc.
In the past, as many of you know, we’ve also held a food drive at our in person annual celebrations. This year, we will be holding a virtual fundraiser for Connecticut FoodShare. For those of you who have the means, we are asking you to donate to our virtual food drive at FoodShare. Use this link https://p2p.onecause.com/ctfoodshare-virtual-food-drive/team/hartford-humanists to donate to our virtual food drive.
We encourage participants to dress in festive attire, decorate your Zoom environment, and grab your favorite celebratory beverage!
Our Zoom Open House will run from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Join us for the entire event or drop in for as long as you like whenever you want.
About HumanLight:
In many cultures, late December is a season of good cheer and a time for festive gatherings of friends and families. As part of this holiday season, HumanLight is a jovial holiday that is entirely secular – not based on any supernatural religious beliefs or theistic concepts. The HumanLight holiday offers an alternative reason to celebrate during the December holiday season by illuminating Humanism’s positive secular vision of reason, compassion, hope, and humanity.
Come celebrate and promote a positive vision of a better future — a future in which all people can identify with each other and try to behave with high moral standards — a future which people can build by working together for a happy, just, and peaceful world.
