Join WES member Mike Kravitz as he shares his thoughts and lessons from an 18+ month-long journey studying modern fatherhood and his own place in the world.

Interested in connecting with other WES members?

Consider joining a TIE Group today! TIE (Together in Exploration) groups work to build connections to the greater WES community. They are generally 6-8 member groups that follow a monthly theme. 

TIE groups will run on an annual basis; that is, members will sign up to meet from September through May. At the end of the program year, the groups will “untie” and complete their time together, and TIE group members can choose to sign up for a different group the following program year. Setting the expectation that groups will re-mix each year will help members explore and find friendships throughout WES. Making the groups time-limited creates space for graceful entrances and exits as participants’ needs and schedules change. 

Participation in TIE groups is open to anyone who can make a commitment to meet consistently for the rest of that program year. If you’re interested in becoming a group member or in facilitating a TIE group for the program year starting in Sept or any other questions, please contact Trang, trangd@ethicalsociety.org
Your WES delegates want to hear your thoughts about proposals to reform the AEU!

The American Ethical Union's annual assembly is coming up soon and the delegates from WES want to know your opinions about the various proposals about the future of the AEU. Please join a zoom Town Hall for WES members to discuss these motions on Friday, July 14 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. The proposals from WES and other Ethical Societies can be accessed here and you can use this zoom link to join the meeting.
