Family and support
Watch humanist celebrants describing the importance of families and friends
Themes
Under this and the other videos this week, we’ll draw out certain themes that reflect a humanist approach to life. Share your thoughts on these and any others you have noticed with the other learners.
- Other people are important in our lives and can be a source of support
- Humanist ceremonies will often recognise our connections with each other and with the natural world, of which we are a part
- The arrival of new life can provide an important moment to reflect on how our own lives are changing and on the circle of life
- Creativity and flexibility are important to humanists when choosing how to mark important events in our lives
Question: How important is it that we mark important events in our lives with other people?
