About us
This group is sponsored by HumanistsMN, which brings together people who, without supernatural beliefs, aspire to lead lives of personal fulfillment and contribute to the greater good of humanity and the planet through reason, science, compassion, and creativity.
If you believe in those principles or are interested in learning about them or want to help others learn about humanism join us for our meetings, events, and social times.
We usually have a regular Humanist Community Gathering on the 3rd Saturday of the month but will send out a reminder to members when the topic/speaker is set (or check the calendar!).
In addition, there are many other smaller meetups during the month.
Meetings are open to anyone who is interested in humanism and wants to meet other humanists. But please considering joining HumanistsMN to help support us financially and build the power of humanism in our society. Join here!

Humanists in Action: No Kings 3! Nationwide Rally
Western Sculpture Park, 387 Marion Street, Saint Paul, MN, USJoin fellow humanists and allies to show that we will not give in to the bullying and harm done to our communities by the President who wants to be King! We will show kindness, strength and happiness in being together!
Please do also sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/905217/
This event starts as 12pm at one of 3 different march starting places - we will start at Western Sculpture Park. The rally itself is at the Capitol grounds, starting at 2pm.
ALSO, as usual, there will be a number of gatherings around the Twin Cities. If attending in St. Paul is not workable for you, post a comment below to see if anyone would like to join you at your location of choice. IF YOU USE THE LINK ABOVE, alternate locations will likely be shown for actions on the same date.
MEETING PLACE: Meeting place: under the sculpture in the middle of the park - a tall 4 legged structure, with legs sort of shaped like an old fashioned windmill.
PARKING: Try to carpool if possible. The Green line train will has a nearby stop at Western Ave, then it is just a few blocks to the sculpture park. Or - if driving, there is parking around the the neighborhood near the park - know that it will be busy and crowded, so arrive early.
HumanistsMN is committed to fostering an inclusive, collaborative, and caring community for all our members. We welcome everyone who shares our humanist principles. We acknowledge the dignity and worth of all people - every race, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, social class, abilities, or disabilities. We actively promote a culture of respect, belonging, and compassion as we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive.

SMART Recovery Support Group
First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, 900 Mt Curve Ave, Minneapolis, MN, USLooking to beat an addiction? SMART Recovery is a stigma-free and self-empowering secular program serving those with an addictive behavior. This post is for promotional purposes only and no rsvp is required to respect the confidentiality of attendees.
Anyone seeking a secular recovery program is invited to attend our weekly support group sessions -- whether to tackle a particular substance or an activity/process addiction. Participants design and implement their own recovery plan to create a more balanced, purposeful, fulfilling, and meaningful life.
Sessions are led by Kim T., a trained volunteer SMART facilitator, who draws on evidence-based motivational and cognitive behavioral theories. Within a mutually supportive group environment, SMART participants are empowered to develop their ability to:
- Build and maintain motivation
- Cope with urges and cravings
- Manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Live a balanced life
Whether you are seeking a course of recovery for yourself or have been mandated to attend a recovery program, SMART Recovery provides a path to life beyond addiction.
These sessions are sponsored by HumanistsMN -- a local community of humanists, agnostics, atheists, and freethinkers. If you are not yet a dues paying member, please consider joining to help us cover our costs and build the humanist movement. Not yet ready to join? Donations are gratefully accepted!

Death Cafe
First Unitarian Society, 900 Mount Curve Avenue, Minneapolis, MN, USNote: Seating is limited and by reservation only using this Google signup form.
Some of the most important conversations about life begin with death. Let’s come together in courage and mutual support to explore this final frontier which is too-often avoided.
In partnership with First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis (FUS), we are hosting a Death Cafe where we can come together to have an open conversation about death, and our feelings and thoughts associated with it. Comforting food and beverages will be served so that we may savor the sweetness of life as we contemplate death. Rebecca, a Life and Relationship Counselor with a focus on helping others create a well-lived life, will facilitate the discussion.
This event is free. We’ll have a donation jar available and welcome contributions towards the food and beverages.
These events usually fill up quickly. We do maintain a notification and wait list. REGISTRATION / SIGN UP FORM HERE. This page will indicate which meetings are full. You'll have the option to put your name on any waitlists, and you can also sign up for the advance contact list for future Death Cafes and other End of Life events.
