Play at Any Age
Remember laughing until your side ached and your face hurt? Take a stroll down memory lane and reawaken that inherent joy. We'll be goofy, play games, and take our silliness seriously for a change. Wear your tie-dye or anything that sparks whimsy, bring your favorite stuffed animals, and give yourself permission to embrace the joy of play! Alesha Weiland has a B.S. in Geography and Environmental Studies from University of Alaska Fairbanks and has worked for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, outdoor education programs across the country, and acted and performed improv in Alaska. (First Sundays start with 1/2 hour of music, offer daycare, and may run until noon.)

What is Humanism?
Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.
Science & Reason
We value evidence-based thinking and scientific inquiry as paths to understanding our world.
Community
Building meaningful connections and supporting one another in our shared human experience.
Compassion
Promoting ethics, social justice, and care for all people through humanist values.
