Secular

[close] We study Buddhist philosophy and meditation from a secular perspective. Group members are encouraged to read the ten core group books: “After Buddhism: Rethinking the Dharma for a Secular Age,” “Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body,” “More Than Happiness: Buddhist and Stoic Wisdom for a Sceptical Age,” “Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book,” “Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion," "Mindfulness in Plain English," "One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism," "10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works," "Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment," and "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation."

[close] The Skeptics' Book Club meets on the third Wednesday of each month at CFI West. You can find our upcoming events on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1604042179819868) or on Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/skeptics-136).

[close] Bringing local freethinkers together for mutual support and action. We are humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, and those working to keep government separate from religion. But above all, we are ethical, moral, and delightful beings. Skeptical of dogma, promoters of science, reason, and freethought. Public truths through public revelation, spirituality through life, friendship, and the arts. Morality through education, compassion, tolerance, and justice. Cooperation with all those seeking to make a more sustainable, delightful, just, and humane world. If you want to become an active member, please join our meetup group at: http://www.meetup.com/CannonFallsFreethinkers/

[close] Books of the month chosen for discussion amongst members. Not all topics are bound by secular discussions. We are most active on MeetUp.com and you can find the group there along with the book chosen for discussion.
