LA Recovering From Religion Support Group
Apr
1

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

The Los Angeles, CA area Recovering From Religion support group will meet the FIRST TUESDAY of each month at 7 PM, virtually via Zoom.

RSVP to view the Zoom link to the meeting.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. Attendees are encouraged to share, when they are comfortable doing so.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.

If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer for more info.

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

The Los Angeles, CA area Recovering From Religion support group will meet the FIRST TUESDAY of each month at 7 PM, virtually via Zoom.

RSVP to view the Zoom link to the meeting.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. Attendees are encouraged to share, when they are comfortable doing so.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group
Jan
6

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

The Los Angeles, CA area Recovering From Religion support group will meet the FIRST TUESDAY of each month at 7 PM, virtually via Zoom.

RSVP to view the Zoom link to the meeting.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. Attendees are encouraged to share, when they are comfortable doing so.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.

If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer for more info.

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
Jan
6

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)

YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.

Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!

🛑What to expect:

Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.

🛑Meeting format:

This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.

A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.

We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.

🛑Details:

This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.

Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.

We welcome your unique point of view and add to the discussion.

SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.

Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of a new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

About the LA Natural History Museum 

We protect and share more than 35 million specimens and artifacts, the largest natural and cultural history collection in the western United States. But we also explore the nature and culture that surrounds us today, both in L.A. and the world. The Natural History Museum (NHM) occupies a special place in Los Angeles: It's one of L.A.’s oldest cultural institutions, and today, it's the anchor of an emerging cultural, educational, and entertainment hub in Exposition Park. We show off extraordinary specimens in exhibitions such as Age of Mammals, the Dinosaur Hall, the Gem and Mineral Hall, and our beloved dioramas. But in addition to sharing the history of the planet, we also explore the transformation around us right now: Becoming Los Angeles, the outdoor Nature Gardens, and the Nature Lab look at the relationship between environment and people, past and present, in L.A. In all of these experiences at the museum, whether they're inside or outside, we’re interested in the intersection of nature and culture—in L.A. and beyond.

About Michelle Vanegas:

Born and raised in Southern California, Michelle first discovered her love for science while attending Pasadena City College, where she decided to pursue a career in science education. In 2017, she graduated from California State University, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Science with an emphasis in geology. She has 10 years of experience working as a science educator at free-choice learning institutions, and she is currently a faculty member at Cal State L.A. teaching earth & space science and physical science in the Natural Science Program. Michelle has a Master of Science in environmental science researching rockfish morphology and speciation.

What is Science Sundays?

Launched in 2021, Science Sundays are seasonal science trips designed to bring people together to explore and celebrate the impact of science on our world. We tour museums, labs, and natural wonders around LA with the best and brightest science communicators available.

Other Details:

$18-20 parking available nearby: https://nhm.org/parking-and-directions. We highly recommend public transportation or carpooling. 

At Atheists United, we are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and harassment-free environments at all of our events. By participating in this event you agree to follow behavior outlined in our Event Code of Conduct policy.

Secular Latinos San Gabriel Valley Meetup

¡Hola! Everyone.

This meetup is being scheduled for every second Sunday (of the month) at 10 am. It's scheduled for two hours to allow people to come and go as they wish.

Let’s get together and talk about important secular issues that affect our community. What do you care about? Let’s chat!

This event aims to get to know the Secular Latinx community of the San Gabriel Valley. This group is an excellent opportunity to connect with other Secular Latinx in the SGV! If you are an atheist/secular/freethinker/agnostic/skeptic/humanist, a questioning Latinx, or just a curious Latinx, come on out and meet others like you.

RSVP is not required but encouraged.

This meetup respects family dynamics and will respect your privacy. Photographs of you will not be taken and posted in this group without your consent.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Sincerely,
Arlene

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
Dec
2

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)

YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.

Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!

🛑What to expect:

Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.

🛑Meeting format:

This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.

A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.

We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.

🛑Details:

This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.

Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.

We welcome your unique point of view and add to the discussion.
