Submitted by the Event Organizer

“Sunday Assembly” Silicon Valley Community Gathering | Mountain View

“Live Better, Help Often, Wonder More” is the motto for Sunday Assembly Silicon Valley (SASV), an international community movement that celebrates life. The radically inclusive SASV is a secular and service nonprofit that celebrates life, welcomes all people and supports everyone fulfilling their potential.

It aims to help people “live better” with inspiring, thought-provoking and practical ideas that help people lead the lives they want; “help often” by encouraging community action and lives of purpose; and, “wonder more” with talks, singing as one, readings and games to connect with each other and world. Most of all, have fun, be nice and join in.

Monthly meetings feature live pop music, TED-style talks, inspirational stories, socializing over coffee and cake and activities for children. SASV focuses on purpose and action. It supports local nonprofits through hands-on help and donations. The organization offers “smoups,” small activity groups that gather around member interests, including outdoor activities, book reading, crafts, self-improvement and beer tasting. On site parking is free.

“Sunday Assembly” Silicon Valley Community Gathering | Mountain View

Because SASV and the San Jose Woman’s Club are co-hosting a special ticketed solstice evening in mid-December, they’ve tossed out the usual program for the second Sunday gathering. Instead, on Sunday, Dec. 13, bring a tasty potluck dish, get ready to sing a Capella secular holiday carols and have a friendly sociable time getting to know each other. Don’t forget to throw on your ugly sweater to enter a contest. Parents will be responsible for their children that day.

Disabled parking is on site and others may park for free on most neighborhood streets or at the San Jose State University garage at San Fernando and 10th Street for $5.
