SUMMARY:Losing I\, Finding We - An Exploration of Attachment
DESCRIPTION:Christian Hayden\, an ethical humanist leader-in-training\, will speak to us via Zoom.  Ethical Culture does not have explicit tenets or commandments\, but it does ask of its members/followers to commit to building ethical relationships\, because we as a community feel they are imperative to social justice and realizing a better world.  At the same time\, many of us struggle to invite intimacy into our personal\, romantic\, and communal lives — why is that? And what ideas might lead us to better meeting our charge in the future? \nThe most important thing to know about Christian\, is that he is an Ethical Culture leader in training.  The second most important thing is that he fell in love with photography recently\, so you might hear about that\, too. Christian is a full-time facilitator\, a very part-time poet\, and is striving to be a 24/7 humanist.  He also spent a year in Ghana with the Humanist Service Corps and was awarded the Mossler Fellowship in 2016. \nYou do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.

SUMMARY:Voices In Our Heads: What Is Your Internal Narrative?
DESCRIPTION:We live our entire waking life immersed in our inner experiences (thoughts\, feelings\, sensations) – internal private phenomena for us\, inaccessible to others.  What is the nature of our inner experience – our internal narrative?  Is my inner experience structured the same way as your inner experience?  Just what are the voices and processes in our heads\, anyway?  How do our brains affect our thoughts\, contributing to our perceptions of ourselves?  Our differences in our internal narratives are another aspect of human diversity that should be understood\, embraced\, and celebrated.  This platform will involve audience participation.  Randy Best\, Leader of the Northern Virginia Ethical Society\, is our speaker.

SUMMARY:The Story of Love Wins and Community Service
DESCRIPTION:Ms. Blu Honeycutt of Love Wins will speak on how and why the Love Wins organization came to be. She will provide information about the community services they provide\, including food and shelter to the homeless in Raleigh. From the Love Wins Community Engagement Center website… “What We Believe: We believe that homelessness is\, at its core\, a relationship issue. People who have deep\, intimate relationships and a broad spectrum of social contacts don’t end up chronically homeless. The opposite of homelessness isn’t being housed\, it is community. We think relationships have the power to change a life\, and ultimately\, the world. If we want to change the world\, we have to do it together.” \n  \nGENTLE REMINDER:\nThis will be the first Sunday of the month. Please bring canned goods and other non-perishable dry goods for the IFC Food Pantry. Please remember to bring your donations in PAPER grocery bags.

SUMMARY:The New Voices of Black Freethinkers
