The Fractal Foundation's outreach educator Hope Curtis will guide our journey through the mesmerizing world of fractals. Learn about the humans who have pioneered this fascinating branch of mathematics, and how all human life dances along the boundary of order and chaos. Hope will share how her own encounters with infinity have shaped her passion for creative chaos, algebraic art and turbulent timelines! We’ll participate in hands-on fractivities and witness brand-new fractal zooms.
The Fractal Foundation has shared the joy of infinity with countless humans across the globe, inspiring an appreciation for math and science with beautiful hot air balloons, record-breaking planetarium shows, interactive workshops and more! Establishing Albuquerque as the Fractal Capital of the World with the help of fractal fans and ambassadors throughout the city, the Fractal Foundation challenges individuals to recognize their own infinite potential and to appreciate how even seemingly small changes can ripple out to make the world a better place.

MARCH 2026: PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Peter Dickinson
Hello Humanists!
Last October, many of you participated in our annual Members Meeting, at which we discussed and voted to accept revisions to our bylaws. At the time, we didn’t talk about the Articles that were not being changed, so we didn’t discuss what might be one of the most important Articles - Article II, which states
“The exclusive purpose of the [Humanist Society of New Mexico] is to educate its members and non-members concerning humanist ideals and approaches to solving personal, social, and environmental problems.”
This statement also appears in our Articles of Incorporation, which is the basis for establishing our nonprofit status in New Mexico. While few, if any of us, have thought much about this statement, my experience over the last two-and-a-half years has been that every meeting and event I have attended has fulfilled this purpose.
In some cases, such as our Humanist Speakers Series, the purpose has been explicitly addressed by the speakers who have shared with us their passions and helped us understand the world and its problems a little better. In some of our Special Interest Groups (the Great Decisions groups, or Pondering at the Pub, for example) we learn from our discussions of issues in the world around us what it means to live our “humanist ideals.” And in our more social groups and gatherings, we are showing how humanists live and work together.
