There are many reasons to celebrate, and now there is a suitable platform to do so: feierkultur.de is online! The website of the Humanist Association of Germany—Federal Association shows how life celebrations and rites of passage can be organized in a secular and humanist way. With guidance, inspiration, and practical tips, it offers support for all those who want to celebrate important moments in life in harmony with their own values.
At its heart are key humanistic celebrations of life: naming ceremonies, youth celebrations, and weddings, as well as funerals and farewell ceremonies. Other life transitions such as retirement, new beginnings, or personal changes are also options. Each celebration can be developed individually, based on your own convictions.
The website combines a nationwide perspective with a local presence. The regional associations of the Humanist Association of Germany act as direct points of contact on the ground. feierkultur.de provides an overview of regional offers as well as practical information on formats, costs, and planning steps. The celebration speakers introduce themselves and explain how they develop personal and authentic ceremonies together with those celebrating to honor life events.
„Celebrating in a humanistic way means consciously appreciating one’s own path through life, shaping relationships, and experiencing community,“ says Christiane Herrmann, member of the board of the Humanist Association of Germany—Federal Association. „The new website feierkultur.de invites you to shape life’s transitions in a conscious, personal, and human way.“
