Sunday Assembly: Community Sing & Meetup w/ Rivka Mason (Berkeley)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Sunday Assembly is a non-religious congregation that celebrates life. They’ve got the best parts of a church – community, singing, and acts of service – without any of the religious dogma.

They typically meet on the third Sunday of the month to sing, think, listen, laugh, and build community together. They feature speakers from the local science and humanities communities, and they typically offer a way to donate to a local organization.

The Sunday Assembly is a godless congregation started in 2012 by two comedians and performers in England. It is a growing global network of people with the motto to “Live Better. Help Often. Wonder More.”

This month, as we meet on the first day of spring, we welcome Rivka Mason, an environmentalist and educator who, in 1994, transformed a piece of Berkeley’s Malcolm X Elementary School play yard into an outdoor classroom. Using her edenic, lush, nurturing 4,000-square-foot organic garden and ecology center as both setting and learning tool, she teaches nutrition, math, science, social studies, art and history. She’ll answer our questions about small-scale community agriculture. Bring seeds to swap with other attendees!
