We are the Boston Area Chapter of the American Humanist Association. Basically, we are the people living in the Boston Metropolitan area (extending into New Hampshire and Rhode Island) who believe in Humanism and try to live a Humanistic life and who like to get together in association with each other in formal or informal humanistically oriented activities. The pages of this web site will describe what these activities and associations and services currently are. We are governed by our Chapter …

We meet several times a month to discuss topics related to Humanism.

The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Uni …

Humanism is a godless philosophy based on reason and compassion. Humanists believe that our morality is based on the well being of conscious creatures, and that no higher power needs to be appeased. Here in Rhode Island, where the Catholic Church holds such sway and power that we can't pass a marriage equality bill or even remove a prayer from our schools without going to court, it's important to remember our founder Roger Williams, the man who first established a part of this world where church …

Massachusetts Men's Gathering (MMG) is a participant-organized and participant-led weekend that happens twice a year at a year-round camp/ retreat center. Like similar format retreats throughout New England and in several other states, MMG does not hire "experts" to run workshops or provide the entertainment, but trusts in the abilities of whoever shows up! The MMG Organizing Committee (OC) plans and sustains the framework for the spring and fall weekends, but not the content. Each participant b …

We are a group of people who believe in a healthy mind , a healthy body for happiness, joy in life and a blissful spirit for harmony in all our relationships. Mystic Osho says - "Yoga is the state of no-mind. The word "mind" covers all -- your egos, your desires, your hopes, your philosophies, your religions, your scriptures. "Mind" covers all. Whatsoever you can think is mind. All that is known, all that can be known, all that is knowable, is within mind. Cessation of the mind means cessation o …

We've enjoyed our time with other Atheist Meetup Groups so much, we decided to create one a little closer to home (Peabody, MA). Get together with other atheists on the North Shore for various social and recreational outings without having to travel into Boston! This is not a discussion group, although our members are free to discuss whatever they wish. It's really for people who have already done the research and concluded that the existence of deities is just like the existence of fairies...no …
