Monthly Assembly

Welcome to Sunday Assembly Seattle!

Monthly assemblies are a time for us to gather as a secular community to celebrate life and pursue ways to “Live better, Help often, and Wonder more.”

Each month we explore a new theme. This month's theme is Community Building.

Our brains are wired with built in psychological tendencies that help us manage uncertainty. These tendencies can also cause problems, especially when conflicting versions of these tendencies arise in groups trying to manage challenges. In today’s talk we will explore that psychology and the dangers it presents to group problem solving. In doing so, I hope to build self-awareness around political discourse that enhances the ability of participants to engage intentionally and decreases the chance their reactions will be exploited. And, we’ll wrap up with plenty of time for the Super Bowl!

Here's what you can expect at an assembly:

• Time to mingle – chat and catch up with other community members
• Singing together – sing along to popular songs (lyrics provided!)
• Listening to a reading or inspirational piece – we glean wisdom from multiple sources. From a short passage in a poignant book to a moving poem or song, inspiration comes in many forms.
• Hearing from a featured speaker focused on the month’s theme.
• Opportunities to participate in lively group discussions

Come share in the warmth, wisdom, and good vibes.
✨ All are welcome!
