Summer Beach Party 2025
Jul
26

Summer Beach Party 2025

  • Dockweiler Beach (Near Lifeguard Tower #51) (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

We’re hosting the largest atheist beach party in Southern California!

We'll bring some music, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks. You bring the godless energy (and some snacks to share)!

PLEASE RSVP SO WE KNOW HOW MANY DRINKS TO BUY

Every season we host a community party that brings together the Southern California atheist community. This summer we invite you to join our family-friendly beach party!

Park on the north side of the parking lot. We'll grab a section of beach near the fire pits around Lifeguard Station #51 at Dockweiler State Beach. Look for the Atheists United signs and tents.

Event is from 10pm - 2pm, but feel free to continue partying long after we pack up if you want. Freedom is our community's number one value.

Don't forget to bring everything you need to make a trip to the beach a good time: sunscreen, towel, hat, beach chairs, beach games, snacks, etc.

We'll set up tents, chairs, and a few games everyone can enjoy.

Paid parking is available right next to the beach for about $15.

Bathrooms are nearby.

Guests are encouraged!

Experiencing a cold, flue, or COVID symptoms? We insist you stay home, heal, and protect the community from illness.

Contact evan@atheistsunited.org with any questions.

All attendees agree to follow Atheists United's Code of Conduct policies.

SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.

Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of a new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to.

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group
Nov

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

The Los Angeles, CA area Recovering From Religion support group will meet the FIRST TUESDAY of each month at 7 PM, virtually via Zoom.

RSVP to view the Zoom link to the meeting.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. Attendees are encouraged to share, when they are comfortable doing so.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.

If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

SMART Recovery Los Angeles — Weekly Support Group

Los Angeles SMART Recovery hosted by Atheists United

Welcome to SMART Recovery Los Angeles!

We offer self-empowering, non-faith-based mutual help groups for addictive problems. These meetings are free and open to anyone! No one is required to participate. All you have to do is show up!

Please RSVP with David by phone or text at (541) 255-6289 or Jarrod at (209) 752-7763 to register for the meeting and receive location information.

All are welcome. Some meetings will be online.
***Please text David to confirm before attending.***

Parking is available in the rear of the building. We meet in the theater on the first floor or the conference room on the second floor depending on the size of the group.

These meetings are sponsored by Atheists United Los Angeles.
We do not sign court cards.

***

Change myself, change the world…

SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.

Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of a new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.

Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of a new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group
Jul

LA Recovering From Religion Support Group

The Los Angeles, CA area Recovering From Religion support group will meet the FIRST TUESDAY of each month at 7 PM, virtually via Zoom.

RSVP to view the Zoom link to the meeting.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. Attendees are encouraged to share, when they are comfortable doing so.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
There is no cost to attend this support group but, if you feel so inclined, donations can be made at www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org and click on the green chat bubble in the lower left corner of the site to chat online.

If you are in need of professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

Like what RfR does? Why not volunteer! There are quite a few options. Head over to www.recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer for more info.
