“The only good mass gatherings or groups that I know of are for the generally inclusive celebration of life;
such as music, dance, the arts, weddings, funerals, etc.” – Jacqueline Payne
We can and should assemble outdoors. Nature walking, Group meditations, hiking, swimming, gardening, bird watching, and just being outdoors with other people.
New buildings (churches) should look out of large, ground-level windows onto a beautiful scene of nature. Not to the raw sunlight, or to sunlight that’s filtered through stained glass pictures of myths and miracles.

For small groups, gathering around a campfire has a tradition going back millennia, and it still does the job.
Today, we can also watch TED Talks and join others via Zoom Conferencing — all as part of Nature’s worldwide Secular-Spirituality.
