The Sunday Alternative - Grief
The secular answer to a Sunday Morning
-
Welcome to 2024! We hope this will be a year of growth, connection and happiness for you all. For some, it may be a year of loss and sadness.
Even though we all will experience death and grief, as a culture, we are emotionally and practically ill-equipped to navigate loss. With increasing secularisation, is death a subject we need to reconnect with?
This month’s speaker is Valerie Jack whose recent book “Living with Death without God: stories and solace for non-religious mortals” explores where the non-religious may find comfort, hope and meaning when living with death.
As always, there are all the other elements of The Sunday Alternative to find out why The Rising Sun Arts Centre is the best place to be on a Sunday morning. Find lovely people, live music, interesting ideas, some silliness and cakes.
About The Sunday Alternative
If you're looking for community, look no further than The Sunday Alternative! We're a bunch of secular legends who meet monthly in Reading to celebrate life.
We're about Living Better, Helping Often, and Wondering More, and we do it for one reason only - to make the most of this one life we've got. We're a diverse bunch, so you're bound to meet some cracking new mates.
Our mornings are chock-a-block with singing, games, engaging chats, and scoffing cake. Plus, it's inclusive - we welcome anyone, regardless of age or background. It won't cost you a penny, if pennies are hard to come by, as we run entirely on donations.
If you're feeling peckish, we've got that covered too. Come early, which is the best way to meet new people, grab a cuppa, and tuck into some homemade vegan-friendly treats.
Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for teas and chats. The Assembly begins at 11 a.m. and ends at about 12:15 p.m. Then more coffee and cakes until 1 p.m. After, we find a pub or a space in the park if the weather is kind.
