What we’re about
Live better. Help often. Wonder more. SASV is an inclusive secular community, meaning we don’t advocate for any religious or spiritual beliefs whatsoever. We respect people of all beliefs. Whether you are agnostic, atheist, humanist, or a believer, you're welcome to celebrate life with us!
SASV meets at the Masonic Lodge in Mountain View on the 2nd Sunday of each month for uplifting singalongs, informative talks, and a potluck social. We also have a variety of other activities throughout the month.

See all- Potluck Brunch at Eagle ParkEagle Park, Mountain View, CA
Join your SASV friends at this monthly Sunday brunch! Now that we're heading into warmer weather, we'll be sharing a potluck meal instead of going to a local restaurant. Please join us!
Where? Eagle Park, (diagonally across from the Mountain View-De Anza Masonic Lodge). We will be at the NE corner (closest to the Lodge) or near the playground (especially if kids are attending).
What to bring? A lawn chair or a blanket to sit on; there is a picnic table, but seating is limited). If you plan to eat, bring your own beverage/plate/bowl/utensils/napkins, etc., and a dish to share. Extra lawn chairs are appreciated.
SASV small group events are usually attended by a small subset of our membership, but newcomers are welcome. SASV activities are intended to support the growth of personal connections and friendships within the larger SASV community.

Do you find that you’re always reaching for your phone? Checking your smartwatch every time you get a notification?Our world is hyperconnected. The technology that makes that possible blurs the boundaries between work and rest—leading to stress, fatigue, and burnout. Emily Bersaglia will lead a talk based on one by cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Sahar Yousef at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. It explores how our digital habits contribute to mental exhaustion and offers practical, science-backed strategies to set boundaries, recharge, and use tech in ways that support our well-being rather than undermine it.
Emily is a nationally certified school psychologist working in the Bay Area. She has been practicing since 2009, serving students across four states. Emily is active in local, state, and national school psychology endeavors. She has found herself serving in various leadership positions in her district, particularly related to addressing issues of equity and disproportionality.
