Add-Ons

Pre-Congress Seminar for Celebrants and Chaplains - $50
Many cultural traditions are rooted in religious belief.  So how do we as humanists build on and amplify the significance of ritual and ceremony within our own community, without religion? These sessions will explore how humanist celebrants around the world combine the old and the new to create truly unique and meaningful celebrations for life’s most important moments. We’ll also examine the unique roles of humanist chaplains and clergy members in delivering the message of humanism and nurturing the growing non-theist community.

Pre-Congress Seminar for Humanist Leaders - $30
Do you run a small humanist organization?  Are you interested in helping a local or even national group to grow and advance?  Maybe you want to learn more about starting a group or the best ways to lead other humanists?  This seminar is designed to help people who lead humanist groups — or would like to start — gain a better understanding about how to organize and manage a group to make it successful.
