This month’s theme: Overcoming Challenges in Life

Life can be difficult at times.

The most stressful periods of life can take place when people experience death of a loved one, major personal injury or illness, retrenchment. Significant stress is also experienced before major exams, career change, and moving home.

At this session, the non-religious can share the personal challenges they have faced in life and their sources of strength. Even for those who have been living a relatively smooth-sailing life, you can find out how you can be a source of strength to those you love.

We will discuss coping mechanisms to handle stress / grief and build resilience. Indeed, what are some of the strongest non-religious sources of strength/guidance that are out there? Are there any humanist sources of wisdom we can tap on?

You can read a summary of last year’s session.
