Thank you for coming to remember with us!

Thanks for coming out to remember with us on Sunday. It was a beautiful and poignant assembly. As Sanderson rightly said, our ancestors live on through us in our genetic makeup. It is within each of us to help often and improve the lives of others.

Some people asked for Marcela Davison Aviles' slides from her talk on Day of the Dead, please find them at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z0HZAkAJfYhif3_BtGWcPeBRlZ5TeHw9/view.

Sunday Assembly - Remember

Join us November 12th when our theme will be "Remember". Ten days after Día de los Muertos in Mexico, and the day after Remembrance Day in the UK, we'll be talking about remembering.

Marcela Davison Avilés, cultural consultant for the new Pixar film "Coco", will be speaking about the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead.

Sunday Assembly co-founder Sanderson Jones will be visiting from London and guest-hosting.

AWE - September 10

Anger, Fear, Disgust, Sadness, Joy - these emotions fill our daily lives, and it's quite easy to imagine why each contributes significantly to our survival. What about the uniquely ephemeral emotion of "awe"? When and why do we experience it, why might evolution have selected for it, and how might we evoke it to tell better stories, or to be better listeners? Michael Frederickson, Pixar technical director, is our guest speaker.
