Values-based Decision-making for a Better End of Life Experience
From FH. Even if aware of Advance Directives, many of us really aren't aware of how to make end-of-life decisions based on our own values rather than the norm of the medical system, focused more on prolonging life than its quality. Advance Care Planning Facilitator (and retired nurse-practitioner) Gretchen Brauer-Rieke will help us to discern our own values and build a support team to help make sure that our decisions are clear and followed as we near the end of life. Gretchen has studied end-of-life and integrative thanatology to help people plan for a better experience of dying.
What is Humanism?
Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.
We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.

We value evidence-based thinking and scientific inquiry as paths to understanding our world.
Community
Building meaningful connections and supporting one another in our shared human experience.
Compassion
Promoting ethics, social justice, and care for all people through humanist values.
