The universe doesn’t hand out meaning — we build it.
Choose truth over nonsense, compassion over indifference, and one concrete act that reduces suffering this week.
That’s humanism in motion.

HumanLight is a humanist holiday celebrated near the winter solstice.
It honors reason, compassion, community, and hope—and the idea that humans create meaning and light together, without supernatural beliefs.

Happy HumanLight.
At the winter solstice, we pause to reflect and recognize the light we create together as a humanist community.
Grateful for those who built Humanists of Topeka and excited for what we’ll shape together in 2026. 🌟
