We are a major organization for atheists in the Los Angeles metro area. Our monthly meetup is usually the 4rd Sunday at 11am. Our events vary from informative lectures to secular movies to playing fun games. Lunch is always served after the general meeting. Join our community of atheists to discuss beliefs and philosophies, deepen your freethought heritage and make new friends.

If you are a fan of the "Ardent Atheist" podcast, come hang out with Heather and Emery on the first Wednesday of every month on their "Stop God, Get Together for Heathens"!

Do you have a rational worldview based on the natural world? Do you seek ethical models in the world that are based on compassion, science, and empiricism?

Then come check us out!

Universal Mind Science is a free-thought non-denominational fellowship where there are no strangers. Universal Mind Science Church was founded in 1968 by the late Damien Simpson. We are the oldest Metaphysical Church in Long Beach. Metaphysics teaches us to be open minded by combining religion and science and gives us the insight to the question "Why do we exist"? We gain knowledge and enlightenment through positive teachings derived from the philosophies of all the greatest spiritual teachers. …

What do star people, wanderers, freethinkers, and free range people have in common? To some degree, they may be people who find themselves outside the mainstream traditions and trends, not from an impulse to reject society or rebel, but due to a recognition of being different, and making conscious choices whether and when to conform. The idea of this group is to bring together people who "go their own way" rather than follow the established traditions or popular authors and speakers in the areas …

… Meditation has transformed my life into a stress-free, easy going, financially abundant lifestyle.  "One morning during meditation, a message was placed on my heart that I was to share with others the simple secrets I had learned over the past thirty years." From that day I continued to receive ideas how to teach meditation as an easy, powerful approach to peace.  Developing this program unfolded without fuss or stress, and Green Tea Meditation was born.  More astounding situations continued to …

… As a result, I am so much happier than I ever thought I could be.   Don't we all want to be healthy and happy?  I organize this Meetup Group because I want to get the words out about the benefits of being a veggie and provide information and support to anyone who is interested in trying the vegetarian diet. Many of us were brought up believing that we need to eat meat to stay healthy. However, that is not accurate. It is not the rocky science for us to figure out how the animals grow up fast …

… Observe how thoughts pop into the mind, but don't let them take your awareness away. By not arguing or mentally conversing with the thought, you will be free from its control. When you build up mindfulness you can sense everything that an opponent will do, by his energy, his words, or a movement of his hands, you can sense it. By applying and realizing this philosophy, more of life opens up to you because your ability of immediate perception has increased. What might seem like a sixth sense to o …
