Nov 29 - Fitness and the Healthy Life

Dalton is presenting the discussion topic "Fitness and the Healthy Life" next Sunday. He will discuss the role of fitness training in his life and how to be moderate and healthy. It is a great opportunity for all of us to discuss our lifestyles . Give it some thought and bring an open mind to the meeting.

The meeting will be at Don and Chelsea's House, from 10:30 AM until 12 AM Sunday morning. Coffee and snacks will be provided. Please email Don and Chelsea at bootstrapfarm@gmail.com for driving directions if you'd like to come.

Last Sunday's discussion was intimate and thoughtful. Don outlined the pros and cons of the autumn holidays in American culture. We discussed how Thanksgiving is a harvest festival and a good way to connect with the natural cycles of the Earth, and a great way to spend time with family. We considered the duality of the Thanksgiving mythology that appreciates Native Americans' strength while at the same time celebrating their colonization. We discussed how Christmas is secular now, in the worst way of mere commercialism, but still nominally Christian.

The Secular Fellowship is soliciting discussion topic ideas and community service project proposals. Please send any ideas to secularfellowship@gmail.com and I will collect and organize them.
