Minnesota Pantheists

Details
Intro / About: 

This group is "not" about giving you one more label or religion to add to a long list of labels that you may subscribe to. People cannot be explained in labels. This group is about finding like-minded people and about living life.

There are so many Pantheists that don't know what to call themselves, many think they are alone in the way they perceive life on Earth. You are not!

We should come together as a group and do good things for each others and for Nature and the community.

- Celebrate and capitalize on our common believes and morals rather than differences.
- Are non-judgmental, easy going, non-hierarchical & down to earth.
- Strive to be kinder to ourselves, to this planet and Nature and all the other sentient beings.
- Love and revere Nature and the Universe rather than a judgmental personal creator God.
- Come from different backgrounds (places, occupations, religions etc..) and ages.
------ Who can join? ------
This group is a Universal Pantheism group, meaning it is for all Pantheists (naturalistic/physicalist/scientific, idealistic (spiritual/mystic) and dualistic), Stoics, Spinozists, Taoists, Religious Atheists, Religious Humanists and Spiritual Agnostics in the Twin Cities. Panentheists and pan/panen-theist Pagans are also welcome!

If you share the core beliefs of pantheism and the other items described above, you should feel at home in this group.

*** This group is not only about meeting, we are about living ***
*** Celebrate simplicity and common shared values together ***
*** Promote well-being for all, question norms, be empowered ***
*** Isn't it time we came together? ***

If you have a deep appreciation for nature along with all of its wonders and a desire to join with others who follow a different path, who are not prejudice or caught up in religious dogmas regardless of which side of the coin it comes from; if you want good discussions and good actions; then you are WELCOME here.
