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!

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!

Humanists in Action: Get Out the Vote Postcard Campaign! @ Humanists Gather
First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, 900 Mt Curve Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403, USA, Minneapolis, MN, USWith democracy, human rights, and secular values on the line, let's do all we can to get out the vote in this important mid-term election year!
Join us for activism and socializing to send postcards to infrequent voters who are generally overlooked by political campaigns. We will be writing for a campaign called Reclaim Our Vote created by the Center for Common Ground, a non-partisan, Black and women-led voting rights organization founded in 2018, who focus their work in voter suppression states where more than 20% of voters are voters of color.
Encouraging voters is super easy! We’ll provide everything needed. We’ll start with a quick instructional session on how the postcard campaign works and then get to writing.
In 2024, the Reclaim Our Vote postcard outreach increased Black voter turnout by as much as 8%, so let’s support democracy and help get out the vote this election season!
Postcard writing will be from 3:00—4:30. Afterwards, join other session attendees in the gallery for refreshments and socializing.
