Beyond Belief - Secular Substance Abuse Recovery
Beyond Belief - Secular Substance Abuse Recovery
April 3, 2025 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Arkansas Society of Freethinkers
Are you looking to get beyond your addiction without religion? Finally, there is a secular program for recovery in Arkansas!
Beyond Belief is a secular program of recovery. If you want relief from a substance use disorder without relying on an interventionist deity, this program may be right for you.
We can maintain sobriety from the strength that comes from within us. People who struggle with a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) can find this inner strength through the collective wisdom of those who have gone before us and those who are on the journey with us.
Beyond Belief will incorporate and include the ever-evolving science that investigates the multifaceted underlying causes of a substance use disorder.
This program welcomes people who have not successfully maintained sobriety through traditional 12 step programs of recovery.
This meeting currently occurs online. Once the pandemic permits, we plan to meet in person.

Socrates Café - Maumelle
Socrates Café - Maumelle
April 3, 2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Arkansas Society of Freethinkers
* Socrates Café is a "3rd Party event" operated by the Central Arkansas Library System and is not hosted by, nor an official event of, the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers. We recommend and promote this event as a service to our members.
At Socrates Café, people explore questions from their lives through public, non-academic dialogue. There are no prerequisites, and no reading or other preparation is required. At the beginning of each meeting, participants suggest questions, from which the topic question for the evening is determined by popular vote. Recently suggested questions include: What is the best religion? How is education different from indoctrination? How does language influence thought? What are war memorials for? Why have Socrates Café?
In Little Rock the [Central Arkansas Library System](https://cals.org/) sponsors the following monthly Cafés:
1st Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. at [Maumelle Library](https://cals.org/maumelle-library), 10 Lake Pointe Dr, Maumelle.
4th Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. at [Fletcher Library](https://cals.org/fletcher-library/), 823 N. Buchanan, Little Rock
Find us on [Facebook,](http://www.facebook.com/SocratesCafeLittleRock) too.
The idea to explore philosophy using non-academic, public conversation was promoted in the book Socrates Café by Christopher Phillips. From the book:
"While an undergraduate college student, I took a number of philosophy courses. I was disappointed to no end that my professors did not encourage their students to see themselves as co-inquisitors who were there to engage with the professors in the types of impassioned dialogues Socrates and his cohorts held. They tended to treat philosophy like a museum piece that only they, the experts, could discuss with authority. All too often they employed an inaccessible jargon that left students intimidated and bewildered, and vowing never again to take another philosophy course once they had satisfied their degree requirements."
