HumANist society of New Mexico
Join us to discuss a topic chosen the month prior. You don't have to research the topic ahead of time, but some members like to stretch their awareness of the topic ahead of time. And feel free to suggest a topic for the following month.
Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as social interaction with teammates. Years ago I used to play the table-top version but playing on the website is much better! You can play using your computer or your phone.
Time: 6pm MT
Players that are new to Codenames are very welcome. You can take a look at it here: codenames.game But it's much easier to learn by doing and we're happy to teach.
We have 5 committed Codenamers already. The minimum to play is 4 (2 per team). So we'd like more players! We hope to reach at least 3 per team (total of 6).
To join us, here is the link to our Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq
While we're playing, we use Google Meet to communicate.
If you're new to Google Meet, I recommend spending about 10 minutes ahead of start time to prepare and test your microphone and speakers. Video isn't needed.
Join my invitation email list to be invited by email each week as a reminder a few hours before play time. In it will be a link to the Google Meet as well as other info.
To be added to the email invitation list, send a request to my email address: gstelle@gmail.com
The game itself changes each week. So a link to the game will be in a follow-up email (if you receive my invitation emails) as well as in Chat of Google Meet.
Chat is Google Meet's in-call messaging feature. Once you're in Google Meet, look for the button at bottom right of screen that looks like a little rectangle with horizontal lines and says "Chat with everyone" when you point to it. Then tap on the link that starts with "Codenames.game..."

Fourth Friday of the month at 430. Discuss real-life practical philosophical stuff with other humanists over a beer or two.
Bounce ideas about life off each other. Or discuss issues you're currently dealing with. We can throw in a bit of phsychology too. Meant to be an enjoyable time sharing each other's points of view. Potentially enlightening!
Come with a topic you'd like to talk about or just join the conversation. Religion and politics are ok if pertinent, objective and limited. An academic perspective, if you have one, can add to the topic being discussed. After all philosophical stories are basically timeless and about people.
Location: Quarter Celtic Brewpub, 1100 San Mateo Boulevard NE· Albuquerque
We could grab a table either inside or out on the patio. Order a meal is fine too. They have good Irish food. Most likely we'll always meet at Quarter Celtic. But maybe try other places in the future.

Seth Andrews is a former evangelical and Christian broadcaster who now hosts The Thinking Atheist…one of the most popular podcasts and online atheist communities in the world. The Thinking Atheist is not a person. It is an icon encouraging all to reject faith and pursue reason and evidence.
Seth has authored five books, including his latest offering, “Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot.” He also hosts a second podcast, "True Stories with Seth Andrews."
With a mix of humor and heart, Seth Andrews has spoken for audiences large and small in the U.S, Canada, Europe, and Australia about his former faith, the promotion of science and skepticism, the importance of Humanism in this often crazy world, and why we should all pursue a personal relationship with reality.
New Mexico Poet Laureate Lauren Camp is the author of eight poetry collections, most recently In Old Sky (Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024), which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park. She is the founder of the New Mexico Epic Poem Project.
Camp was awarded fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and Black Earth Institute. Other honors include a Dorset Prize and finalist citations for the Arab American Book Award, Housatonic Book Award, Big Other Book Award and Adrienne Rich Award for Poetry. She was artist-in-residence at Lowell Observatory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Hedgebrook, Denver Botanic Gardens, Storyknife and The Taft-Nicholson Center for Environmental Humanities, and a visiting writer at the Mayo Clinic.
Her poems and essays have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Kenyon Review, Prairie Schooner, Orion, Missouri Review, and Poem-a-Day. Her work has been translated into Turkish, Mandarin, Serbian, Arabic, French and Spanish.
She has pivoted from a successful career as a visual artist (1996-2008). Her portrait series, “The Fabric of Jazz,” traveled to museums in ten cities. More artwork can be found in cultural centers, hospitals, museums, U.S. embassies and other organizations around the world. For 15 years, she was a producer and host for Santa Fe Public Radio.
