Humanist Café - the Meaning of Love

An interactive discussion on a perennial theme. Everyone welcome – coffee and cake on arrival and a relaxed friendly atmosphere with live piano interludes on our chosen theme. Free entry. An optional donation of around £3.00 is always appreciated.

Sometimes we’re led to believe that love is the answer to everything — the force that can heal divisions, transform society, and give life its meaning. But is this really true? At our very first Humanist Café event, we’ll explore what love really means in human lives: between parents and children, partners and spouses, families and friends. What happens when love is idealised — by religion, popular culture, or our own expectations? We’ll reflect on love understood as care, connection, benevolence and sexual attraction – asking how love can support human flourishing. The discussion will be facilitated by David Warden. David is a qualified humanistic therapist but this is not a therapy event - it's an open and friendly discussion.
