Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Skeptics in the Pub (Grand Rapids)Broad leaf Local Beer, Kentwood, MI
*This month’s Skeptics in the Pub will be held at Broadleaf Brewery & Spirits
Skeptics in the Pub, “Critical Thinking with a Pint,” is an opportunity for nontheists to converse in a casual, fun atmosphere.
Learn more about the international Skeptics in the Pub movement at skepticsinthepub.org. (We don’t invite speakers, but rather follow our conversations wherever they take us. For a more structured discussion, look for Café Inquiry events on our calendar.)
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Don’t drink? That’s okay! Many famous skeptics were teetotalers, and there is no problem with that.
Drinking skeptically means drinking responsibly. Science teaches us what alcohol does to the human body.
You will find the group at a table with little Michigan Humanist table signs.
Skeptics in the Pub (Grand Rapids) meets each month on the third Friday.

- Café Inquiry (ONLINE) - Guaranteed Basic Income: A Closer LookLink visible for attendees
This event is held online. To see the Zoom link, RSVP and look at the right hand panel.
Guaranteed basic income is a topic that we have touched on peripherally in the course of a couple of recent discussions about other issues. At the next Café Inquiry Online we’ll take a deeper dive into guaranteed basic income – how it works, what it tries to accomplish, why some think it might be necessary, and what the various pilot programs have demonstrated. We’ll post some links to background materials here in the next few days. Join us ONLINE for what we hope will be an enlightening discussion!
Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.
Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday.
