Who We are

 

 

The World Celebrationist Society is the organized body of Celebrationism.

Its organizations strive to champion people regardless of who they are or what is in their history. 

 

We operate through two distinct but united pieces of a whole. The World Celebrationist Society and its community organization, the United Celebrationist Movement. 

 

The World Celebrationist Society offers services in advocacy for the abandoned and embattled, support in sponsoring and organizing celebrations of all types, offering financial aid to those in need and working to support segments of society which might be neglected.

Our organization works toward a society of greater understanding and acts toward cultural contribution and learning for the sake of a more understanding and tolerant world. 

 

The WCS also recruits and trains a version of public ministers, known as advocates. These individuals minister on behalf of Celebrationist philosophy to all people, regardless of their personal beliefs, history or status. We strive to offer a home, be it spiritual or otherwise to anybody that might want one or might feel like they don't have one elsewhere. We gladly offer both spiritual and non-spiritual ritual services such as weddings, funerals, humanistic counseling or even basic human company in a person's time of need. The World Celebrationist Society also offers services in assisting people in finding a spiritual home outside of Celebrationism if they feel like our philosophical element isn't quite the right fit.

 

Registered members of Celebrationism pay an annual $59.00 contribution and enjoy voting privileges, rights to serve on the Celebrationist Council or Chancery, free classes related to religion, philosophy, culture and free admission to WCS public events and celebrations around the world. All dues collected from registered members go toward our missions and operational costs.  

 

The UCM

The UCM is the World Celebrationist Society's free community organization that brings people who adopt the teachings of Celebrationism and the Pillars of Faith that we're built on. These community get togethers are meant to unite people in celebration, service and unity on the back of the Celebrationist Pillars of Faith. These organizations are sponsored and managed by the World Celebrationist Society to promote community celebration, interfaith unity and public service. 

 

The World Celebrationist Society proudly hosts UCM Meetups across the United States and England. We're currently recruiting regional organizers to help organize UCM events in local communities in both countries. We are also recruiting candidates to be ordained as Celebrationist advocates throughout the world.

More information about the World Celebrationist Society and Celebrationism:

 

For some, the World Celebrationist Society and the philosophy it is born from, Celebrationism, are movements of humanist ideology. For others we are an organization that provide a service in celebrating and advocating on behalf of the human race. Even still, for others, we are a project of intercommunal relationship and movements of spiritual discovery. 

Our purpose, quite plainly, is to create a more vibrant, tolerant, and understanding world.

 

We strive to meet this goal by championing ideas of goodness. The World Celebrationist Society is the home of all people regardless of who they are, where they're from or what is in their history.

 

We strive to serve as the unapologetic champions and advocates of all persons. We embrace members without exclusion in the spirit of compassion, forgiveness and the promotion of growth and progress. We celebrate in tribute to our bountiful existence and each element which contributes to it. 

We believe that the ideas that we teach are organic within us, but are not always easily fulfilled. Working through education, service, advocacy, celebration, support and exploration to fulfill and promote these good notions is our mission.

 

Some choose to find the strength to meet these purposes with the aid of spirituality, others don't. Our organizations welcomes both groups of people. We do this simply because the operations that bring us further into goodness are inconsequential, for it is the goodness that is most imperative to sustaining the health of the world and offering comfort to its people.

Every member of Celebrationism and its governmental body of service, the World Celebrationist Society, are encouraged to celebrate in their own individual way, in their respective forward journey of growth. In this idea comes great diversity in how each element of our mission and teachings are interpreted, and in many ways, that is quite precisely what we're all about. This visionary project is a tribute to that very spirit of complex diversity in humanity and the layered nature of individuality, with a respect for the common bonds that bring us together, in recognition of all the boundless potential, wonder and goodness that is  inherent to our existence.

 

We help realize these ideas through a special observation of the promotion of growth, positive gesture, philosophical action, celebration and active appreciation for the abundant wonders of our existence, both in the slightest nuance and the most blatant display of greatness - be it in nature, human achievement, art, sport, experience, gesture or anything else.

 

We celebrate in silent, private appreciation and in open festivals of dedication and honor. We teach the importance of inclusive acceptance, forgiveness and personal growth, and we do it all in the spirit of celebrating the life we have the privilege of learning from, pleasuring in and in journey to a more richly happy life for all those burdened and blessed by this very experience.
