그룹 소개
This group is principally for members of Humanist Society of Scotland in Glasgow and the West of Scotland. Non members who are interested and share our Humanist values are also very welcome.
We have regular monthly meetings with speakers on a range of interesting topics with the the aim of promoting and exploring Humanism, and what it is to live ethically without religion.
We also have social events and trips throughout the year - these are more relaxed opportunities to discuss and simply socialise with other freethinking people.
If you are interested in finding a Celebrant for a Wedding, Funeral or Naming ceremony, please look at the Humanist Society Scotland website here - https://www.humanism.scot/ceremonies/
