Humanism Now | Empowering Conversations with Voices for Reason, Compassion and Change 27. Happy Human Lithuania on the Magic of Humanist Ceremonies & Growing Social Enterprises
Humanist ceremonies—weddings, namings, and funerals—are growing rapidly worldwide, offering non-religious, deeply personal ways to mark life’s most significant moments. Laimingas Žmogus (Happy Human) is a social enterprise based in Lithuania, dedicated to making these ceremonies accessible and meaningful.
This week we are delighted to be joined by Urtė Žukauskaitė-Zabukė, Founder and CEO, and Gerda Surgautaitė, Co-Founder of Laimingas Žmogus to share insights into establishing meaningful non-religious ceremonies that resonate with diverse populations and the launch of the Humanist Ceremonies Accelerator, a pioneering initiative designed to help humanist organisations around the world establish sustainable social enterprises through humanist ceremonies.
The episode covers;
- The rapid growth of humanist ceremonies globally
- Introduction of the Humanist Ceremonies Accelerator programme
- Addressing the unique challenges to secularism in Lithuania
- Inspiring stories of uniquely tailored ceremonies
- Practical advice for starting humanist social enterprises
