Bristol Humanists: Sian Norris on Bodies Under Siege

We look forward to supporting this event organised by the Bristol Humanists: Sian Norris on Bodies Under Siege: How the Far–Right Attack on Reproductive Rights Went Global Sian is a writer, journalist and copywriter specialising in reporting and investigations into women’s rights – with a particular focus on reproductive rights and ending men’s violence against women. Think today’s anti-abortion ideas are rooted in religious prohibitions or arguments about where life begins? Wrong: today’s anti-abortion movements is largely financed and planned by far-right extremists. Many of them are avowedly fascist and white supremacist, afraid of a “great replacement” of the world’s white population by other races, who are working hard to reshape governments and policies across Europe, North America and around the world. Much of this far-right organizing and funding network, however, has been overlooked by today’s feminist and left movements. More details to follow.

Bristol Humanists: Mark Williamson on making life happier

We look forward to supporting this event organised by Bristol Humanists. Full details to follow. Dr Mark Williamson is co-founder and Director of Action for Happiness. His book offers 23 practical ways to make life happier. It’s based on evidence from the latest scientific research combined with unique insights from the author plus proven ideas that he has helped thousands of people to adopt successfully in their everyday lives. It goes much deeper than typical self-help advice, covering a wide range of themes which contribute to lifelong wellbeing. The book combines actions to improve your own happiness with actions that benefit others too. Make Life Happier is also an invitation to join a global movement of people who are choosing to live differently. People who recognise that happiness is not just a personal quest, but a gift that can enrich our communities and our world. It’s an invitation to help shift our values. From what we can get to what we can give. From seeking validation to finding connection. From just surviving to actively thriving. Remember, this is about how to make life happier, rather than happy, recognising this is a journey and there’s no perfect end-point. The most important thing to keep in mind right now is that your actions matter. You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you do have the potential to feel better, find meaning and make a difference. Whatever your situation is, you can do something.
