The Sunday Asssembly movement adapted the congregational community model pioneered by churches, mosques, synagogues and temples in a secular, inclusive and evidence based way.
This practice is called Lifefulness.
Sanderson Jones is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Sunday Assembly, the worldwide movement of secular congregations that celebrate life.
His mission is to spread Lifefulness, the practice of building secular and inclusive communities, to create a world rich in meaning and belonging.
Lifefulness is inspired by the work of John Kabat-Zinn who created mindfulness by adapting Buddhist meditation in a secular, inclusive and evidence based way.
To capture it in a one-liner: Lifefulness is to congregation as mindfulness is to meditation.
