Wishing everyone a Radical Reason Day!

This is our holiday that venerates our 2nd Tenet: "The Intent of the Law, Is the Law" along with its corresponding maxim: "We trust in the human capacity for reason".

It's a day that celebrates individual interpretation, critical thinking, and even rebellion!

We had a great time marching in the #sdpride parade, and then tabling outside the festival afterwards!

Weekly Challenge for Apr 27 to May 03:

This week's challenge is about leadership: lead from the front by going first- volunteer yourself!

When we proactively (and visibly!) do the things we wish others would do, we make it easier for them to follow in our footsteps.

Weekly Challenge for Apr 06 to Apr 12:

Do normal things "with a twist" every day this week!

By adding some novelty into otherwise normal activities we'll teach our brain to be a little more flexible and ready to adjust to changing circumstances!

It's Areté Day! The Assemblage of Areté is 9 years old!

We hope you'll have an Amazing Areté Day and an awesome season ahead of you! We're reflecting during this time on all of the great things Aretéanism has done for our lives, and how we can bring these benefits to even more people

Have you touched grass yet today?

In Aretéanism, we take this literally! Go outside and do it real quick- you'll be glad you did!

Wishing everyone a Powerful Pyrmera today!

Pyrmera is our "festival of fire", the holiday where we venerate the dead, and our gift-giving celebration!

Tonight we'll light lanterns symbolizing our commitment to face our fears and take risks, to seek light in the darkness!

So what do we believe?

We believe in trying to be the absolute best people we can be, even when it's hard.

We believe that science is the best way to learn about the universe, and ourselves!

And we believe in trusting people to make their own decisions and to have their own interpretations.

Aretéanism is a religion?

Yup. It might seem uncomfortable- you're undoubtedly familiar with many religions that have done a lot of harm in the world. But we believe that harm was done by the beliefs those religions had- not by the fact they were religions.

We're a NEW religion w/ modern beliefs.

So, you've found us on Bluesky! What now?

Well, if you didn't know, Aretéanism is a movement meant to improve the kind of people we all are. By being the best people we can be, gradually society will change from the grassroots up!

Aretéanism does this through a weird vehicle though... Religion!
