What we’re about
Sunday Assembly Atlanta is a life-celebrating congregation without deity, dogma, or doctrine. We host many gatherings each month to create connection, nurture personal growth, help others, and inspire you with new ideas.
Our motto: live better, help often, wonder more. Our mission: to help everyone find and fulfill their full potential.
Join our Facebook community group or follow our Instagram for more fun!
Sunday Assembly Atlanta is part of the international movement of people who want to celebrate the one life we know we have. You can find other Assemblies in Los Angeles, Nashville, Edinburgh, Pittsburgh, London, and over 20 locations found on this map.
We are here for everyone who wants to:
* Live Better. We aim to provide inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people to live the lives they want to lead and be the people they want to be
* Help Often. Assemblies are communities of action building lives of purpose, encouraging us all to help anyone who needs it to support each other
* Wonder More. Hearing talks, singing as one, listening to readings and even playing games helps us to connect with each other and the awesome world we live in.
The Sunday Assembly
1. Is 100% celebration of life. We are born from nothing and go to nothing. Let’s enjoy it together.
2. Has no doctrine. We have no set texts so we can make use of wisdom from all sources.
3. Has no deity. We don’t do supernatural but we also won’t tell you you’re wrong if you do.
4. Is radically inclusive. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their beliefs – this is a place of love that is open and accepting.
5. Is free to attend, not-for-profit and volunteer run. We ask for donations to cover our costs and support our community work.
6. Has a community mission. Through our Action Heroes (you!), we will be a force for good.
7. Is independent. We do not accept sponsorship or promote outside businesses, organizations or services.
8. Is here to stay. With your involvement, The Sunday Assembly will make the world a better place.
9. We won’t tell you how to live, but will try to help you do it as well as you can.
10. And remember point 1… The Sunday Assembly is a celebration of the one life we know we have. What should you expect from a Sunday Assembly event? Just by being with us you should be energized, vitalized, restored, repaired, refreshed and recharged.
No matter what the subject of the Assembly, it will solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday. But life can be tough… It is. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, we have moments of weakness or life just isn’t fair. We want The Sunday Assembly to be a house of love and compassion, where, no matter what your situation, you are welcomed, accepted and loved. Most of all, have fun, be nice and join in.

•OnlineGUILD (Guys Undergoing Improvement, Learning, and Development) Lab
OnlineABOUT GUILD
Guys Undergoing Improvement, Learning, and Development is a Sunday Assembly Atlanta co-learning lab focused on men's wellness. We host a GUILD Lab monthly, usually on the second Saturday of the month over Zoom.
Our GUILD LAB is a facilitated discussion addressing topics that our group shows interest in, and may include any kind of issue, including:
- physical and mental health
- finances
- relationships
- loneliness
- grief
- happiness
- self-worth
- career
- intimacy
- communication
- family
- mindfulness
- emotional regulation
- etc.
We are not qualified to give professional advice, and that's not the purpose of our group. As a co-learning lab, we're here to listen to each other's experiences, make observations, and use evidence at hand to make personal decisions and report back on the results so we can learn together.
HOW TO PREPARE
When you join the Zoom, we'll do some intros and then talk about what each of us would like to improve in our lives. To figure out what you would like to improve in your life, we highly recommend doing a self-assessment before we meet. You can use the wellness self assessment OR the reflection tool found here: GUILD Forms
By the end of the meeting the plan is for everyone to have an Action Plan completed (also in the link above).
We also meet on the fourth Saturday of the month just for fun. We decide where to meet up over our WhatsApp group.
I hope you join us!

•OnlineSpecial Virtual Documentary Night: #IAmVanessaGuillen
Online**YOU MUST WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN BEFORE THE EVENT**
Link to the film is in the info below.
For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Veterans Day, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, #IAmVanessaGuillen. The murder of Army soldier Vanessa Guillen at Fort Hood military base hit too close to home for Karina Lopez. Two years after surviving sexual assault on the same base, she created a viral Facebook post with the hashtag #IamVanessaGuillen. Facing retaliation, she and other Latina soldiers have pushed forward as they fight for justice. Colonel Don Christensen (retired Air Force Colonel) will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!
>>Click here to watch #IAmVanessaGuillen for free<<
Again, you must watch the film on your BEFORE the event. We will be meeting over Zoom, where we will break out into small discussion groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion, then close out the night with a special guest Q&A! The Zoom information is listed below.
Meeting ID: 875 5525 6659
Passcode: 861888
This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.
This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way. Check out the Community Documentary Night website for more info or links to previously shown documentaries.
Thank you and hope to see you there!
