Sunday Assembly London

 
 
 

We don't know which articles we will be reading yet because it depends what you vote for :). I will link a voting form in the chat on 3rd June and before then you can propose interesting articles that you come across.

Here is a recap of how the Club works:
1. We meet every six weeks or so in or near the National Theatre.
2. We vote in advance and pick two articles from a short list to read before we meet. Usually one relates to politics/current affairs and the other to history, culture or science.
3. We talk about each one for around half an hour and the beauty of Article Club is that we can think more deeply about the broader themes of a topic, and how well the article gets to grips with them.
4. We each give a score out of 10 for the articles that have been discussed.
5. We set the date for the next Article Club and sometimes adjourn to the pub.

The point of Article Club is to challenge ourselves to read a diverse range of articles, share them with like-minded people and deal with our anxiety that we aren't reading books. Article Club was set up by Ross Bailey in 2015 who did a fantastic job at running it. Ross was followed by the equally fantastic Claire Ferraro and I (Alistair Baker) have been in the chair for nearly five years.

OUR NEXT MEETUP: ARTICLE CLUB #56
Thursday 15th June - 7:30pm to around 9:30pm. We sit on the soft round seats in the Lyttleton Theatre bar on the first floor.

 
 
 

From Shame to Hope, Fear to Joy - We are all our own master Alchemists.

Chris Fitchew is part jester, part comedian, full joy alchemist and space holder who has travelled the world to hone his crafts, including working with plant medicines in Peru, vortex energy healing and working with many great teachers and Wisdom Sharers. He believes that one of the greatest access points in finding our purpose and self-healing is through laughter, joy, and play; for ourselves and our communities.

Chris brings his life story to this Sunday Assembly 'Pride' special, as he shares how he managed to pivot and transmute a childhood of shame to a life of pride, and fears a plenty into Joy in abundance.

There will be 4 fantastic songs performed by our very own Sunday Assembly Band, so bring your best singing voices and dancing shoes! Please stay after for tea, biscuits, and engaging conversations with members of our community. Reserve your spot here: https://bit.ly/wevegotpride

This will be a hybrid event, which means it will be held in-person as well as live-streamed through our website, https://www.sundayassembly.com. Our assemblies are free to attend, but we kindly request that you support us so we can continue to keep it open to those who cannot afford to contribute.

Keep an eye on the weather and this event in case we need to change venue.

Bring a picnic mat and food from home or the nearby options: Sainburys/Waitrose etc.

I've also created this event on Facebook and we usually get others jump in last minute at the Assembly so there will be more people than are showing just on the guest list here.

We generally play short, easy to learn fun games.
