New!  at Humanist Hall
since 2005
 
Solar Roof    *    West Wall    *     Hall Floor
 

          Solar Roof               

 

Our solar roof meets the electric needs of the entire building for the Fellowship of Humanity.  It generates from the sun’s light  11,025  peak watts.  PG&E keeps track of how much electricity the solar roof generates and how much of that we use and how much is more than we can use how much is surplus.  What the Fellowship does not use in the summer, PG&E sends off to neighboring buildings for them to use.  In the winter, when we may need more electricity than we generate, PG&E returns our surplus to us.  Our PG&E bill is $0.00 because we are giving as much and more electricity to PG&E than we receive.
 


 

West Wall

 
The outside West Wall of Humanist Hall, the wall overlooking the parking lot, has been re-shingled by James, Ben, Snacks, Daniel, and Federico under the supervision of James Cosner.  It looks great!  It’s a completely new look for Humanist Hall coming eastbound on 27th Street.
 


 
 

Hall Floor


 
The old wood floor of Humanist Hall was swiftly degenerating just over the last few years, not to mention the many years, perhaps decades, that it had not been taken care of before the year 2000.  The floor creaked, boards were separating, there were open cracks in the floor, and the finish had been completely worn off in the center.  It had gotten worn down to where the nails stuck up higher than the floor.  But now the Hall floor has been refinished by Vincent from Cal Floors the first time, then Tajmal Payne from Heartwood Flooring put the finishing touch on the floor the second time around.  Taj finished the floor to perfection with four protective coatsFinally now it looks like it was meant to look  It’s beautifully colored in multifaceted shiny golden brown hues from maple syrup to honey.  Come over and have a look feast your eyes!

Movie Theatre

 

Humanist Hall becomes a movie theatre every Wednesday evening to show audiences the most impressive, insightful, eye-opening, mind-bending, informative, comprehensive, educational, horrifying, hopeful, and inspiring films ever made.  Most of the films are political documentaries or political allegories but not all.  We also show nature films and political science fiction films.  Our films are shown in series of four or five films on a monthly basis on Wednesday evenings.  Our movie theatre is called "Films of Fact and Life" and each monthly movie series has its own name and theme for that month.   To see the films shown so far, click  HERE  then click on “Guest Films.”

Humanist Hall is so far the only movie theatre in the Bay Area that is completely operated by solar energy.

Our  8 x 11  movie screen is professional quality:  its beaded surface is such that when a movie is viewed from the side, it appears as if seen from straight up front.  Our movie projector is first class conference quality, InFocus X1.  Our sound system featuring two huge overhanging Cerwin Vega speakers, a state-of-the-art Yamaha mixer, and the finest Phillips DVD player matches the big movie sound of movie theatres everywhere.  Enjoy!

Whole Humans


The Fellowship of Humanity is conscious of the global crisis enveloping not only all humans but all animals, all plants, the beautiful blue-green Earth, and Life itself.   All are on the verge of devastation if not already dead.  At Humanist Hall we do our best on our own scale to restore humans to our innate wholeness.  Once restored and whole, humans can improve the lot of their environments and the fate of the Earth.  To this end we advocate eco-centrism and eco-socialism and dedicate our lives to re-humanizing humanity within our range of influence.  An ecological consciousness and philosophy is the future.    


The Fellowship is committed to serving and advocating foods and products that are either local or organic, or both.  We encourage everyone to buy from Farmers' Markets.

We have other green practices going on at the Fellowship:  we are committed to using biodegradable, recycled, or non-toxic products everywhere we work.  Not only does our Humanist Hall have a solar roof, but the Fellowship owns no petroleum vehicle.  Two of our Directors ride bicycles in lieu of driving cars or trucks.       In the kitchen and Hall, we use green and biodegradable cleansers;  in the office, we use recycled paper;  on the grounds, we use compost and insects.  We are committed to planting only native plants in our gardens.  Permaculture is our model for sustaining humans along with nature.  And we encourage everyone to bring permaculture into their lives.   Enjoy!
