Humanist Canada

What does it look like to live out our humanist values in everyday life?

Join us on June 10 for a conversation with Johanna Schwartz and Nick Papai, owners of the Calgary-based Congress Coffee Company, a community-focused coffee shop and live music venue built around creativity, connection, and openness.

Rather than treating coffee as the end goal, Congress uses it as the foundation for something larger: a welcoming “third space” where neighbours, artists, activists, and community members can gather, collaborate, and leave their mark on the space itself.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how humanist values can shape the spaces we create, the communities we nurture, and the ways we show up for one another.

We hope you’ll join us for this conversation! Register to join: https://tinyurl.com/mvkfy4me

We invite you to a virtual celebration of the upcoming book 'Ritual Without Religion: A Humanist Guide to Creating Secular Ceremonies' by Megan Sheldon.

Megan is a cultural mythologist, humanist celebrant, end-of-life doula, and co-founder of Be Ceremonial, the world's first guided ritual and ceremony platform. With hundreds of ceremonies crafted for life's major passages and the "seemingly invisible moments of change," Megan has dedicated her work to reclaiming our human birthright of creating universal ritual that is accessible and meaningful.

Join us for an evening that includes a reading and conversation with Megan about the book and what it offers, community sharing and connection with fellow humanists, and a virtual ritual to welcome this book into the world.

Whether you're a celebrant, a humanist, or simply someone who believes that life's moments deserve to be marked with intention, this evening is for you.

Human rights are not privileges reserved for a select few.

They belong to all people equally, regardless of nationality, religion, gender, sexuality, culture, or belief.

A humanist perspective begins with the recognition of our shared humanity and the conviction that dignity, freedom, and compassion should extend to everyone.

The World Humanist Congress 2026 is bringing together humanists from around the world at a time of growing global challenges and change.

Join conversations centred on reason, human rights, democracy, secularism, and collective action alongside activists, scholars, community leaders, and advocates from across the globe.
