Dan Harper p resented at the “Sacred Texts\, Human Contexts” conference in May 2016 \, an interfaith conference organized by progressive Muslim\, Christian\, and Jewish scholars to explore ways to improve interfaith understanding an d cooperation. The 2016 conference focused on interfaith responses to the current environmental crisis.\n\nWhen we look at organized religion’s re sponse to the contemporary environmental crisis\, to what extent should we focus on sacred texts? The answer will depend on the specific situation o f a local faith community\, worldwide changes in organized religion\, and other influences.

In her work as a faculty member at the Stanford University School of Medicine\, s he teaches students to trust women. She invites you to explore some of the se issues with her\, bringing your questions\, interests\, and passions\, to consider what we can do to change the world for our daughters\, sons an d for our grandchildren.\n\nPaula Hillard is Professor of Obstetrics and G ynecology at Stanford University School of Medicine\, where she teaches\, practices clinical medicine\, writes\, edits\, does clinical research\, me ntors\, attends committee meetings\, and professes. In additional to bein g a specialist in women’s health\, she subspecializes in pediatric and a dolescent gynecology.

Th e weather reports say it will start raining Friday night and get heavier and heavier throughout Saturday. Sounds like it won't be much fun on Sween ey Ridge.\n\n \nkaye\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter this week’s rain\, all of the tra ils are going to be very muddy. Therefore\, I'm changing this Saturday's h ike location to Sweeney Ridge. We can hike up a paved road to the top for fabulous views of Montara Mountain\, the Pacific Ocean\, the San Francisco Watershed\, and SFO.This six-mile out-and-back hike climbs 600 feet but w e'll take it slow and steady. Children and dogs (the latter on leash) can easily do this hike.Meet at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Redwo od City (2124 Brewster Ave. at Lowell) at 9am to carpool. Bring lunch\, wa ter and warm clothes. If it's really cold and windy on the ridge\, we may not eat lunch but head home early. In any case\, we should return to the F ellowship between 1-2pm.\n\nPrevious Description:\nTo start out the new ye ar\, we’ll go hiking up on the sunny ridges and into the shady canyons o f Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve in Los Gatos.\nWe’ll start by climbing steadily but gradually up an east-facing slope and over the ridge down in to a canyon with a small stream shaded by oak and bay trees. We’ll climb back out of the canyon and in and out of oak-madrone woodland and chaparr al country. After three miles or so\, we’ll reach the top of the ridge w ith views of Mt. Umunhum to the south and the Santa Cruz Mountains to the north.\n\nTotal distance is 7.5 miles with an elevation gain of 1\,800 fee t. However\, it’s an out-and-back hike so you can turn around at any tim e.\n\nWe’ll leave from UUFRC (2124 Brewster at Lowell) in Redwood City a t 9am\, Saturday\, January 7. Arrive early to arrange carpools. The drive to Sierrra Azul will take about 45 minutes. We’ll start hiking at the Ke nnedy Trailhead near 15266-15290 Kennedy Road across from Top of the Hill Road in Los Gatos.

Weather is typically warm in the daytime\, but temperatures can dip to 45°F in the evening. Rain i s possible. Dress is very casual.\n\nNEW FOR 2017\nBecause of staffing iss ues aggravated by US immigration policy our host\, Skylake Yosemite Camp\, cannot offer UUCPA exclusive use of their campgrounds for a weekend in 20 17. As a result\, we will need to share the campgrounds with other Skylake Yosemite Family camp registrants and follow their standard Family camp fe e schedule and registration timeline. This means not all cabins will be av ailable to UUCPA families and we will need to reserve our cabins by regist ering and paying earlier than we have in the past. New timeline and fees i ncluding a new deposit option are explained below and in the registration brochure.\n\nQuestions? basslakeuucpa@gmail.com CATEGORIES:Special Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:527@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170115T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170115T101500 DTSTAMP:20170104T191911Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/forum-2017-01-15/ SUMMARY:Forum - Social Justice and Personal Responsibility DESCRIPTION:Forum - Social Justice and Personal Responsibility This Week's Topic: Social Justice and Personal Responsibility\n\nDiscussion led by: T risha Suppes and Susan Owicki\n\n \;\n\nThe Forum meets from 9:00 to 1 0:15 Sunday mornings in the Fireside Room.

The 2016 conference focused on interfaith respon ses to the current environmental crisis.\n\nWhen we look at organized reli gion’s response to the contemporary environmental crisis\, to what exten t should we focus on sacred texts?

The region’s tight housing market means that the number of residents p er household is typically large in this community\, and their resulting hi gher energy use places them in a higher cost tier. Reducing household elec tricity usage can thus disproportionately increase financial savings. For example\, installing solar energy panels can reduce the energy bills of lo w-income families in East Palo Alto by 60-90%. Acterra’s partners in thi s project include Grid Alternatives\, which provides the state-funded sola r panels\, and Habitat for Humanity\, which provides free installations.

After all the rains\, the hills are a bright Irish green and I’m hoping for lots and lots of wildflowers. Bob Simoni\, a fellow hiker and former m ember of UUFRC\, will be leading this hike near his home in Hayward.\n\n\n Our hike starts in a parking lot of California State University East Bay ( CSUEB) where there's free charging for electric cars. If you have an EV\, you can charge it while we hike. On Google Maps\, it’s indicated as "CSU EB Charging Station 1" on Old Hillary Road across from Student Services an d Administration.  If you're planning to charge your electric car during our hike in Garin Regional Park this Saturday\, you'll need a Chargepoint card to activate the charger.\n\nWe'll hike from CSUEB through a path down into Garin Park with one stream crossing and take an unmarked trail to a hidden meadow where family of wild pigs has been spotted. We’ll take a l unch break on Bob and Sandy Simoni’s lovely deck where we might see a gr eat horned owl that has been nesting in their neighbor's eucalyptus tree. After lunch\, we’ll return to CSUEB.  The hike is about 6 miles\, 50% w ooded and 50% exposed.\n\nWe’ll leave from UUFRC (2124 Brewster at Lowel l) in Redwood City at 9am\, Saturday\, April 1. Arrive early to arrange ca rpools. The drive to CSUEB will take about ­­45 minutes.\n\nBring lunch and water.\n\nkaye\n CATEGORIES:Offsite LOCATION:UU Fellowship of Redwood City GEO:37.4801218;-122.2454813 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2124 Brewster Avenue\, Redw ood City\, CA\, 94062\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=UU Fellow ship of Redwood City:geo:37.4801218,-122.2454813 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:750@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170401T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170401T103000 DTSTAMP:20170101T224700Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/meditation-2017-04-01/ SUMMARY:Meditation DESCRIPTION:Meditation  \;\n\nAn ongoing meditation group that welcome s new members.

The signs are everywhere. A recent poll tells us that only a th ird of Americans are able to name just one of the three branches of the fe deral government. More worrying\, a quarter of US millennials dismiss the importance of free elections in a democracy. And a near majority of voters long for a leader who “is willing to break some rules" if that’s what it takes to set things right. We will explore what has happened to civic education in our schools\, and why\, in a conversation with social studies writer Diane Hart.\n\nDiane Hart is a nationally recognized author\, curr iculum developer\, and assessment consultant. She has authored or coauthor ed 15 textbooks on U.S. history\, world history\, geography\, American gov ernment\, and economics\, which are in widespread use in elementary\, midd le\, and high schools across the country. She also authored the first civi cs and government text for Palau\, a newly emerging nation in the South Pa cific. She has worked closely with the National Council for the Social Stu dies and other civic education organizations to reinvigorate and renew our country’s commitment to the civic mission of schools.\n\nPresenter: Dia ne Hart\n\nContact: Marilyn Austin (marilyn_a@uucpa.org)\n\n \;\n\n\n& nbsp\;\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Adult,Classes LOCATION:Fireside Room GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Road\, Pal o Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fireside Ro om:geo:37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:855@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170430T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170430T200000 DTSTAMP:20170102T013038Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/owl-grades-7-9-2017-04-30/ SUMMARY:OWL Grades 7-9 DESCRIPTION:OWL Grades 7-9 Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a series of comprehens ive and age-appropriate sexuality education curricula\, developed jointly by the Unitarian Universalist Association and United Church of Christ\, fo r six age groups: grades K-2\, grades 4-6\, grades 7-9\, grades 10-12\, yo ung adults\, and adults.\n\nThis class\, for youth in grades 7-9 runs wee kly on Sunday evenings from January through May.\n\nFor more information:  https://www.uucpa.org/learning/our-whole-lives-owl/ CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,OWL,Youth LOCATION:Fireside Room GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Road\, Pal o Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fireside Ro om:geo:37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:835@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170430T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170430T200000 DTSTAMP:20170102T012642Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/shyg-2017-04-30/ SUMMARY:SHYG DESCRIPTION:SHYG Senior High Youth Group (grades 9-12) or SHYG — Teenage rs in high school are welcome to join either SHYG group for fun and commun ity-building\, learning\, worship\, leadership development\, and social ac tion.

To be a compassionate person\, we need to know about sufferings.\n\nSufferings are mirrors. They reflect the deepest needs of people and the injustice of the world. However\, its illuminatin g nature is rarely appreciated in our culture. The collective aversion to sufferings dictates they stay hidden and confined… to their bearers\, th ose with similar sufferings\, or the offices of therapists. And…prevalen t silence leads to prevalent ignorance\, which hurt ourselves and others. Without the discussion of ordinary life ordeals\, we don’t know how to c ope...when losing loved ones\, caring for the sick who only get sicker\, f acing a progressively debilitating illness…and other natural misfortunes of life. There are also man-made sufferings\, which is injustice. Many pe ople don’t know that the little-power people are repeatedly mistreated b y many around them\, the stigmatized are wounded by cruel rejections…etc . And\, worst of all\, these injustices are ignored and continued because of our ignorance.\n\nSounds too serious? Talking and discussing suffering can be a heart-warming experience that builds strong community. When suffe rings of ours and other community fellows become known and understood\, co mpassion\, insights \, support and relief also emerge.\n\nEmi will speak o f her understanding of compassion and suffering\, and the sufferings she h as experienced. Join her with your insight\, personal experiences and obse rvations.\n\nThis meeting features social time\, a potluck\, 20-minute pre sentation and all-peer discussion. We usually have more than 15 attendees. \n\nTopics are selected by the group at the January\, May\, and September meetings.

It’s usually foggy on the coast in August but I read a review by Tom Stienstra about the Spine Trail and he claims that we will probably climb out above the fog level.\nWe’ll start our hike in M oss Beach east of Highway 1 and walk up Ranch Road to Ember Ridge Stables. Passing the stables\, we emerge at a small pond and start a short climb l eading to a hilltop that is our first good lookout point. We’ll hike alo ng a narrow ridge\, valleys plunging dramatically down on each side\, and continue up the southwest flank of Mt. Montara\, from where we hope to see a spectacular view of the coast.\nThe total hike distance is 6.5 miles bu t\, if we’ve still got energy\, we can hike around the 1.5-mile Farmer ’s Daughter loop on the way back. Estimates of elevation gain vary so I ’m guessing about 1\,500 feet. Parts of the trail are eroded so we’ll have to watch our step.\n\nWe’ll leave from UUFRC (2124 Brewster at Lowe ll) in Redwood City at 9am\, Saturday\, August 5. Arrive early to arrang e carpools.

Chalice C ircles are a wonderful way for people to connect\, form friendships\, and feel ‘known’ in our community. Meeting twice a month\, we move through various topics of spiritual significance (like resilience\, transition\, forgiveness\, transcendence). We share both the everyday goings-on of our lives and stories of greater significance. We practice attentive listening without giving into the temptation to give each other advice. The richnes s of the experience comes from the depth of sharing. When we share our sto ries\, whether painful\, triumphant\, or wickedly funny\, we bless each ot her.\n\nWonder what Chalice Circles are all about? What happens when a Cha lice Circle meets? How you can get involved? If you’re curious about the se groups and would like to know more before signing-up for one\, a sample session is a great chance to see for yourself what they are like. There w ill be two opportunities for sample sessions to give you a taste of what a Chalice Circle meeting would be and to answer any questions you have abou t the program. We’ll go over the basics\, have a session on the topic “What We Love\,” and then answer your questions.\n\nInfo session dates :\n\n On August 27\, a session at 11 am in Room 6.\n On September 17\, a session at 12:30 pm in Room 6.\n\nSignups for new groups start August 27 – get a registration form from the Information Table\, the Office\, or t he UUCPA web site at https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Reg istration_Form.pdf.\n\nGroups will get started in early October and will r un through early June next year.

Chalice C ircles are a wonderful way for people to connect\, form friendships\, and feel ‘known’ in our community. Meeting twice a month\, we move through various topics of spiritual significance (like resilience\, transition\, forgiveness\, transcendence). We share both the everyday goings-on of our lives and stories of greater significance. We practice attentive listening without giving into the temptation to give each other advice. The richnes s of the experience comes from the depth of sharing. When we share our sto ries\, whether painful\, triumphant\, or wickedly funny\, we bless each ot her.\n\nWonder what Chalice Circles are all about? What happens when a Cha lice Circle meets? How you can get involved? If you’re curious about the se groups and would like to know more before signing-up for one\, a sample session is a great chance to see for yourself what they are like. There w ill be two opportunities for sample sessions to give you a taste of what a Chalice Circle meeting would be and to answer any questions you have abou t the program.

It’s clear t hat [Tyler] had fun with Vinegar Girl. ... A fizzy cocktail of a romantic comedy\, far more sweet than acidic\, about finding a mate who appreciates you for your idiosyncratic\, principled self — no taming necessary.” (NPR) “[An] ingenious resetting... with considerably more humor and gent leness than in the Bard’s version.” (Washington Post). “An effective retelling\, while nodding to the original text\, stands on its own.” (B oston Globe)\n\n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and August.

We will NOT hike in San Francisco but head south down the coa st to Ano Nuevo to escape the smoke.\n\nWe’ll start by walking out Casca de Creek Trail to the ocean and then turn north to walk along the level At kinson Bluff Trail which weaves through dunes and coastal prairie. Upon re aching Whitehouse Creek at 1.5 miles\, we’ll turn inland and climb 1\,00 0 feet up the steep 1.2-mile Whitehouse Ridge Trail through a dense forest of redwood and tanoak carpeted by ferns and redwood sorrel. As we pass fr om one side of the mountain to another the vegetation shifts to Douglas fi rs\, huckleberry\, and chinquapin. Then we’ll walk along the ridge out t o a viewpoint with sweeping ocean views after which we return the same way we came. If you want to return to the trailhead at this point\, your tota l mileage will be 5.5 miles.From here\, we can continue north for another mile out to an isolated beach for lunch and then to rocky Franklin Point w here the clipper ship Sir John Franklin wrecked in 1865. The point provide s a view of Pigeon Point to the north and Año Nuevo Island to the south. Going back\, we’ll retrace our route south along the bluffs to the trail head for a total of 7.4 miles.We’ll leave from UUFRC (2124 Brewster at L owell) in Redwood City at 9am\, Saturday\, October 14. Arrive early to a rrange carpools. The parking area for the Cascade Creek Trailhead is on th e ocean side of Highway 1\, about 25 miles south of Half Moon Bay. You’l l pass two other parking areas before this one. The first lot is across fr om Rossi Road\, which leads to the Costanoa Lodge\, the second lot is acro ss from Whitehorse Canyon Road. Our parking lot is half a mile south of Wh itehorse Canyon Road. If you see the Rancho Siempre Verde Christmas Tree F arm\, you’ve gone too far. The drive to the trailhead will take about 1. 5 hours.Bring lunch and water.

All parties are likel y to feel vulnerable\, and that can trigger a “fight or flight” reacti on. The “fight” mode can lead to angry escalation\, and the “flight ” mode can lead to withdrawal. Feelings are likely to be hurt. Sometimes it seems that having the conversation and keeping silent are equally impo ssible.\n\nThis class will introduce an approach developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project. It involves shifting our goal from getting our own wa y to inviting the other person to join us in figuring things out. When we do this\, we may find our own opinions changing at the same time the other person becomes more open to our viewpoint. We may be able to discover a r esolution that neither of us could have created alone.\n\n\n\n CATEGORIES:Classes LOCATION:Fireside Room GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Road\, Pal o Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fireside Ro om:geo:37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:1767@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171015T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171015T150000 DTSTAMP:20180224T232248Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/friends-of-poetry-2-2017-10-15/ SUMMARY:Friends of Poetry DESCRIPTION:Friends of Poetry  \;\n\nYou might come just to listen and see what we’re about\; or you might come with a poem you have long enjo yed or one which you feel seems to defy understanding.

Talking about our class background (or even acknowledging the exist ence of class distinctions) comes loaded with a lot of shame. The sense th at we shouldn't talk about money and class seems to affect us regardless o f where we fall on the class spectrum. The facilitators understood this an d were not only gentle and accepting\, themselves\, but helped everyone to have non-judgmental conversations about this tender aspect of life." – Rev.

With animal names for these "guests\," and human names for the animals\, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became "Th e House Under a Crazy Star."

DESCRIPTION:Shall We Keep “Church” in Our Congregation’s Name? Oppor tunity to Provide Your Opinion On March 18th\n\nMichael Lohman\, a life-lo ng Unitarian\, moving here from Rockville\, MD 3.5 years ago told the Boar d last fall that he was surprised to learn that UUCPA still had the word ' church' in its name as his former Rockville congregation changed their nam e from church to congregation over 5 years to avoid perceived barrier to p otential new members visiting us. Our research on UU congregations uncover ed that while 421 congregations included “church” in their names\, 586 use a different name\, such as\, 246 with fellowship (which connotes a sm aller congregation to many) and 155 with “congregation” and 31 with “community.”  If you are interested in learning more\, you can read a bout another congregation’s name change process to replace church with c ongregation at http://www.euuc.org/events/name_change.php.\n\nIn our discu ssions with members from both services since Feb. 4th\, many didn’t have strong feelings to change our name\, but they could be comfortable to dro p word “church” and replace it with another “C” word like “congr egation” or “community” (thereby maintaining acronym UUCPA) if it wo uld prevent barrier to attend. Some of these reasons to drop “church” in our name included:\n\n Members raised Jewish find the word “church ” very uncomfortable\n People with no previous religious affiliation av oid “church” because of religious right/evangelical connotation.\n To many\, church means Bible-based and conservative.\n\nResults of Discussio n So Far\n\nIn over roughly 45 interviews about 35 preferred to remove wor d “church” from our name with 10 either not seeing need for change\, i nitially\, but after thinking it through\, changed their position.

An outcast even amo ng her fellow Africans\, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater p ain awaits. And so when Caesar\, a slave who has recently arrived from Vir ginia\, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad\, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In ... (this book) ... the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret ne twork of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next\, encountering\, like Gu lliver\, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era\, he w eaves in the saga of our nation\, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman’s will to escape the horrors of bond age—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.” (Amazon)\n \n\n\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and Au gust.

The ad vent of renewable-energy sources is encouraging\, since three-quarters of global carbon emissions come from fossil fuels. But there is no clean\, co st-effective\, grid-scale technology for storing wind or solar energy for those times when the air is calm or the sky is dark. Malta has found a way to do it using molten salt. In Malta’s system\, power from wind or sola r would be converted into extremely hot and extremely cold thermal energy. The warmth would be stored in molten salt\, while the coolth would live i n antifreeze. A heat engine would then recombine the warmth and coolth as needed\, converting them into electric energy that would be sent back out to the grid whenever needed. X believes that salt-based thermal storage co uld be considerably cheaper than any other grid-scale storage technology i n the world. [adapted from The Atlantic]\nDr. Raj B.

Everyone brings an ounce or two of water that somehow represent s their summer. For example\, a child might bring water they got at a favo rite summer camp or at summer school or on a trip to the beach this summer . Adults sometimes bring water that has deeper meaning\, such as water fro m a rain barrel\, water from an ill parent's house\, water that came from Hetch-Hetchy reservoir through our taps -- or they\, like the children\, m ight bring water from a beach trip or a summer vacation.\n\nThen we all ge t to pour our little bit of water into a communal bowl\, while Amy reads a loud where the water comes from -- kids love pouring their water into the bowl. (And don't worry if you forget to bring any water\, since there will be pitchers of water from which you can pour a few drops that represent t he water you would have brought had you remembered.)

Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets\, but the miracle of electri c light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune.

Paul’s client\, George Westinghouse\, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the lig ht bulb and holds the right to power the country? ...Edison is a wily\, da ngerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies\, new spapers in his pocket\, and the backing of J. P. Morgan himself. Yet this unknown lawyer shares with his famous adversary a compulsion to win at all costs. How will he do it? ..."he (finds) that everyone in his path is pl aying their own game\, and no one is quite who they seem."  (Amazon).This book was named one of the best books of the year by both the Washington P ost and the Philadelphia Inquirer.  Please join us on September 4th at n oon in the Fireside Room to discuss this intriguing book.  And in the me antime\, have a wonderful summer.\n\n \;\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and August.

Some bring warm memories of their experiences in othe r religious institutions\, others have angry and unresolved feelings and f eel scarred. Some move easily into Unitarian Universalism\; others experie nce a traumatic estrangement from family and the center of their culture. As a congregation\, we don't always pay enough attention to these personal journeys. These workshops provide tools to examine and retrieve positive aspects of our religious histories. Because we are usually more certain ab out what we left behind\, rather than what we bring with us\, tools are ne eded to help us establish our path as a continuum\, setting us free to mak e healthy commitments. This workshop is not just for "converts." Longtime and lifelong Unitarian Universalists also experience change\, sometimes p rofoundly\, in religious identity. These sessions are enriched when people of varying "tenure" as UUs participate.\n\nDate: Sundays\, Sep 9\, Sep 1 6\nTime: 12:30-3 pm\nLocation: Room 4-5\nFacilitator: Amy Zucker Morgen stern\nContact: Wynne Furth (wynne_f@uucpa.org)\nRegistration: Not requi red\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07 /Owning-Your-Religious-Past.png CATEGORIES:Classes LOCATION:Room 4/5 GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Rd\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Room 4/5:geo: 37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4478@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180909T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180909T140000 DTSTAMP:20180805T202232Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/suicide-prevention/ SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention - A Community Response DESCRIPTION:Suicide Prevention - A Community Response This program is a di scussion on suicide prevention\, a topic particularly relevant as Septembe r is National Suicide Prevention Month.

For most of us\, it doesn’t come as easily as we might expect. Being hard on ourselves may seem necessary to succeed in life\, but the research suggests just the opposite: self-compassion i s a productive and healthier way to relate to ourselves than harsh self-c riticism. Self-compassion has been linked to many benefits\, including ha ppiness\, optimism\, creativity\, and satisfying relationships\, while ex periencing less anxiety and depression. With practice\, we can learn to re late to ourselves with more kindness\, caring\, and understanding. In thi s talk\, we’ll explore the science of self-compassion and learn more abo ut it first-hand through guided meditations and reflective writing exercis es.

Some bring warm memories of their experiences in other religious institutions\ , others have angry and unresolved feelings and feel scarred. Some move ea sily into Unitarian Universalism\; others experience a traumatic estrangem ent from family and the center of their culture. As a congregation\, we do n't always pay enough attention to these personal journeys. These workshop s provide tools to examine and retrieve positive aspects of our religious histories. Because we are usually more certain about what we left behind\, rather than what we bring with us\, tools are needed to help us establish our path as a continuum\, setting us free to make healthy commitments. T his workshop is not just for "converts." Longtime and lifelong Unitarian U niversalists also experience change\, sometimes profoundly\, in religious identity. These sessions are enriched when people of varying "tenure" as U Us participate.\n\nDate: Sundays\, Sept 23rd\nTime: 1:00 - 3:00 pm\nLoca tion: Room 4-5\nFacilitator: Amy Zucker Morgenstern\nContact: Wynne Fur th (wynne_f@uucpa.org)\nRegistration: Not required\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07 /Owning-Your-Religious-Past-1.png CATEGORIES:Classes LOCATION:Room 4/5 GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Rd\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Room 4/5:geo: 37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3622@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180923T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180923T160000 DTSTAMP:20190603T023832Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/sacred-harp-singing-4-2018-09-23/ SUMMARY:Sacred Harp Singing DESCRIPTION:Sacred Harp Singing Join the democratic and inclusive American song tradition of Sacred Harp music\, one of the oldest ongoing music tra ditions in the United States.

But then\, as her connection with the future first lady deepens into intimacy\, what begins as a powerful passion matures into a lasting love\, and a life that Hick n ever expected to have ... After she takes a job in the Roosevelt administr ation ... she comes to know Franklin not only as a great president but as a complicated rival and an irresistible friend\, capable of changing lives even after his death. Through it all\, even as Hick’s bond with Eleanor is tested by forces both extraordinary and common\, and as she grows as a woman and a writer\, she never loses sight of the love of her life. From Washington\, D.C. to Hyde Park\, from a little white house on Long Island to an apartment on Manhattan’s Washington Square\, Amy Bloom’s new nov el moves elegantly through fascinating places and times\, written in compe lling prose and with emotional depth\, wit\, and acuity.” (Amazon)\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and A ugust.

That's the message underlying the No Rehearsal Christmas Pageant. But most importantly\, the No Rehearsal Christmas Pageant is fun.

Here's his description of plans for this Sunday.\n\nHere’s what I would propose:\n• That I share with the group briefly (about 10 - 15 mi nutes) how I think about civil discourse — what it means in different se ttings\, why it’s important\, how skills can be deepened\, etc.\;\n• T hen invite others to share what resources and insights they’ve found hel pful and what the Heal the Divide group has covered in the past\;\n• The n invite questions and answers about what is presented\;\n• Finally have a general discussion about next steps — ongoing general study\, focused discussions on particular topics\, skill-building\, engaging others\, etc .\n\nBob Barrett's Bio: Educated at Stanford and trained as a lawyer at Be rkeley\, my career has focused mostly on environmental topics. In the earl y 1990s I became a mediator\, facilitator\, and consultant on collaborativ e problem-solving. A key career-turning-point was spending eight years (19 83 - 91) as the program officer at the Hewlett Foundation responsible for its grants in the environment and conflict resolution areas. Now retired\, I have been interested in learning about how civil discourse and skills a nd insights in this area are critically important in efforts to bridge div ides and improve our country’s democratic institutions. To do this\, I h ave been working with Rotary clubs\, local chapters of the League of Women Voters\, and my church in Portola Valley.\n\nI hope you can join us!\n\n& nbsp\;\n\nHealing the Divide is a UUCPA group that formed after the 2016 e lection to ask: 1) what do we not understand about others with more conser vative viewpoints\, and 2) what can we learn that will help us communicate even across wide differences in belief.\n\nThe meeting format is variable . In the past we have discussed a book or article\, practiced communicatio n skills\, explored our own beliefs about particular topics\, and intervie wed guests whose views are different from ours.\n\nDate: First Sundays\, J an 6\, Feb 3\, Mar 3\nTime: 12:30-2 pm\nLocation: Fireside Room\nFacilitat or: Susan Owicki (susan_o@uucpa.org)\n\nRegistration: Not required\n\nhttp s://www.uucpa.org/connection/affinity-groups/healing-the-divide/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07 /Healing-the-Divide-2-1.png CATEGORIES:Classes LOCATION:Fireside Room GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Road\, Pal o Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Fireside Ro om:geo:37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:5271@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190106T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190106T140000 DTSTAMP:20181222T233246Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/why-religion-book-discussion/ SUMMARY:"Why Religion?" book discussion DESCRIPTION:"\;Why Religion?"\; book discussion \n\n\n\n\nIn her n ew book\, "Why Religion?

UUCPA participants of every belief (e.g.\, theist s\, spiritual non-theists\, humanists) gather before first service to walk our labyrinth together.  Hats and sunscreen are recommended during warm weather.

He is the originator of the John Hen ryism hypothesis\, which posits that repeated\, high effort coping (John H enryism) by African Americans\, with racial subjugation and economic discr imination in American society\, generates chronic psychological stress\, w hich\, in turn\, increases their risk for earlier onset and higher mortali ty from cardiovascular diseases. The John Henryism hypothesis is rooted in African American folklore (namely\, the legend of John Henry\, the steel- driving man\, who beat a machine in a steel-driving contest but then drop ped dead from exhaustion)\, and in a fast-growing literature in public hea lth and public policy research on the role of structural racism in creatin g\, and perpetuating\, US racial and social class inequities in health.\n\ nSherman James\, a social psychologist by training and a social epidemiolo gist by profession\, is the Susan B. King Professor Emeritus of Public Pol icy at Duke University. He also holds adjunct professorships in epidemiolo gy/public health at Tulane and Emory Universities. He is a member of the N ational Academy of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences and a past president of the Society for Epidemiological Research. He is the 2016 Mah atma Gandhi Fellow of the American Academy of Political and Social Science . Sherman is also a Unitarian Universalist\, and we have been delighted to have him as part of our congregation this year.

However\, many people find it uplifting to somet imes do it with a group. UUCPA participants of every belief (e.g.\, theist s\, spiritual non-theists\, humanists) gather before first service to walk our labyrinth together.  Hats and sunscreen are recommended during warm weather. During truly inclement weather\, we gather under the overhang in the front of the church (near the Memorial Garden) for silent prayer\, med itation\, or deep reflection.\n\nDate: Every Sunday\nTime: 9:05-9:20 am\ nLocation: UUCPA Labyrinth\nFacilitator: Marilyn Austin\nContact: Maril yn Austin (marilyn_a@uucpa.org)\nRegistration: Not required\n\nhttps://ww w.uucpa.org/connection/affinity-groups/labyrinth-walkers/ CATEGORIES:Small Groups LOCATION:Labyrinth GEO:37.4193552;-122.11262870000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Rd\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Labyrinth:geo :37.4193552,-122.11262870000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:4730@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190331T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190331T103000 DTSTAMP:20181223T160527Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/sunday-school-for-children-and-youth-age- 3-4-and-grades-6-8-2019-03-31/ SUMMARY:Sunday School for children and youth age 3-4 and grades 6-8 DESCRIPTION:Sunday School for children and youth age 3-4 and grades 6-8 Su nday Programs for Families\n\nBecause we believe in learning by doing\, an most important part of our religious education is participation\, with al l ages\, in the first part of regular worship services.

He promises her the world\, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to be bought. Instead\, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle\, sick ly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to aband on her home\, and to reject her son's powerful father\, sets off a dramati c saga that will echo down through the generations.\nRichly told and profo undly moving\, Pachinko is a story of love\, sacrifice\, ambition\, and lo yalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest univers ities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld\, Lee's complex a nd passionate characters--strong\, stubborn women\, devoted sisters and so ns\, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indiff erent arc of history" (Amazon)  Please join us on April 2nd at noon in th e Fireside Room to discuss this NYT bestseller and National Book Award fin alist.\n \;\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in July and August.

After the film John Malloy (featured in the film and Healing Circles) has offered to anchor a healing circle. The film helps create a safe spac e and it lends itself well for a circle of reflection.\n\nHere is what the filmmakers say about the film:\n“This film is a universal healing story that brings together many interconnected elements: children\, animals\, n ature\, silence and the power of safe\, non-judgemental listening spaces. One of our greatest inspirations to make the film was witnessing how Steve Karlin and John Malloy do not teach the children—rather\, they create a “safe space” where the children learn experientially. As we began screening the film in schools\, juvenile detention centers\, community gr oups andspiritual institutions\, we experienced that the film was also na turally culminating in creating a safe space. Although hurt and vulnerable \, the children in the film share deeply with wisdom and clarity. Both the children and the animals visibly heal\, creating a container that allows for deep reflection.”\n\nTo learn more\, check out these links:\nHolding Circles of Healing\n\n“We Are All In This Together” A Conversation Wi th John Malloy\n\n“The Wisdom Of Circles” In Conversation With John Ma lloy \n\nSponsored by Transition Palo Alto and the Green Sanctuary Commit tee of UUCPA\n\n \;\n\nFilms are shown on the fourth Friday of the mon th on a variety of topics and themes in the Fireside Room starting at 7:3 0 pm.

With unerring honesty and li vely wit\, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments\, both publi c and private\, telling her full story as she has lived it – in her own words and on her own terms.

The Fi fth Season is the first book in the Broken Earth trilogy. Critics have sai d:\n\n\n \n\n\n"N. K. Jemisin's intricate and extraordinary world-­build ing starts with oppression: Her universes begin by asking who is oppressin g whom\, what they are gaining\, what they fear. Systems of power stalk he r protagonists\, often embodied as gods and primeval forces\, so vast that resistance seems impossible even to contemplate. When escape comes in her novels\, it is not a merely personal victory\, or the restoration of a sk etchy and soft-lit status quo. Her heroes achieve escape velocity\, smashi ng through oppressive systems and leaving them behind like shed skins."

Everyone brings an ounce or two of water that somehow r epresents their summer. For example\, a child might bring water they got a t a favorite summer camp or at summer school or on a trip to the beach thi s summer. Adults sometimes bring water that has deeper meaning\, such as w ater from a rain barrel\, water from an ill parent’s house\, water that came from Hetch-Hetchy reservoir through our taps — or they\, like the c hildren\, might bring water from a beach trip or a summer vacation.\n\nThe n we all get to pour our little bit of water into a communal bowl\, while Amy reads aloud where the water comes from — kids love pouring their wat er into the bowl. (And don’t worry if you forget to bring any water\, si nce there will be pitchers of water from which you can pour a few drops th at represent the water you would have brought had you remembered.)\n\nFind more information about UUCPA programs for Children and Youth here.

In this urgent chronicle of co ntemporary immigration\, journalist Lauren Markham follows the Flores twin s as they make their way across the Rio Grande and the Texas desert\, into the hands of immigration authorities\, and from there to their estranged older brother in Oakland\, CA. Soon these unaccompanied minors are navigat ing school in a new language\, working to pay down their mounting coyote d ebt\, and facing their day in immigration court\, while also encountering the triumphs and pitfalls of teenage life with only each other for support . With intimate access and breathtaking range\, Markham offers an unforget table testament to the migrant experience."

We should be inspired by Medicare’s role in desegregating our nation’s hospitals\, and should i nsist on further reform…to address the systemic racism that plagues pati ents of color to this day.” Dr. Claudia Fegan\, National Coordinator\, P hysicians for a National Health Program\n\nAs we as a society continue to struggle with persistent\, systemic racism and the urgent need for univers al\, affordable healthcare\, Fourth Friday will take a close look at a lit tle known\, but remarkable connection between the two issues.\n\nPower to Heal recounts a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program\, Medicare\, was used to mount a dramatic\, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals ac ross the country in a matter of months.\n\nBefore Medicare\, disparities i n access to hospital care were dramatic. Less than half the nation’s hos pitals served black and white patients equally\, and in the South\, 1/3 of hospitals would not admit African-Americans even for emergencies.\n\nUsin g the carrot of Medicare dollars\, the federal government virtually ended the practice of racially segregating patients\, doctors\, medical staffs\, blood supplies\, and linens. Power to Heal illustrates how Movement leade rs and grass-roots volunteers pressed and worked with the federal governme nt to achieve a greater measure of justice and fairness for African-Americ ans.\n\nAfter the film\, we hope you stay to reflect together on the film and the lessons it might have for the continuing struggles for social just ice and equal access to healthcare.\n\nFilms are shown on the fourth Frida y of the month on a variety of topics and themes in the Fireside Room sta rting at 7:30 pm. Check out the TransitionPaloAlto website: https://trans itionpaloalto.org/projects/friday-night-movies/ for the title of the mont hly film\, or call the church office.\n\nA typical agenda is to gather at 7:15 pm for social time\; the film starts at 7:30 pm with a discussion f ollowing. Suggested donation is $5 – $10 to cover film costs and venue.

If energy is that important\, should it be a commodity tha t companies sell to us? How can we control our own energy sources to survi ve and thrive?\n\nCommunities\, neighborhoods\, groups - large and small - need to control energy and decide that energy is for everyone. When we ac tively participate and collectively decide\, that's energy democracy.\n\nL earn how cooperative energy ownership can\n\n Enable half of California t o build wealth from solar ownership.\n Encourage people to involve their neighbors\, building more resilient communities.\n Open the door for peop le to take collective climate action.\n\nUnlike most energy workshops that focus on the technology\, the evening will focus on the organizing\, fina ncial\, and legal aspects of energy ownership.\n\nFilms are shown on the f ourth Friday of the month on a variety of topics and themes in the Firesi de Room starting at 7:30 pm. Check out the TransitionPaloAlto website: ht tps://transitionpaloalto.org/projects/friday-night-movies/ for the title of the monthly film\, or call the church office.\n\nA typical agenda is t o gather at 7:15 pm for social time\; the film starts at 7:30 pm with a d iscussion following.

For many years\, there was such a group\, called “Parent Journey.” This group was organized and facili tated by parents\, and it faded away a couple of years ago when the parent s who organized it moved away.\n\nThe Children and Youth Religious Educati on (CYRE) Committee and I would like to revive some kind of parent discuss ion group because we think there’s a need for a forum where parents can come together and talk about issues of mutual concern. And we’re going t o start next month.\n\nI’d like to invite all parents of children and te ens to join me on Sunday\, December 8\, from 11 to noon\, for a parent dis cussion group. We’ll start the way most of our small groups at UUCPA sta rt\, with a “check-in\,” that is\, with a time to talk about what’s been going on in your life recently. Then I’ll present a topic and we’ ll have time for conversation on that topic. Finally\, we’ll spend five minutes at the end talking about how the group could be organized on an on going basis.\n\nI’m giving you a month’s notice so you’ll have time to plan join me for this parent group. And I’ll mention three things tha t might make it more attractive for your family:\n\n There will be child care available on the playground during the parent group.\n You can atten d Story Time with your child from 10:35 to 11:00\, just before the parent group meets.\n You and your family can go to Second Sunday Lunch\, an ine xpensive\, kid-friendly meal\, which is served at about 12:15.\n\nI hope y ou can join me for this parent discussion group. If you have an idea for a topic for the first meeting\, please let me know. And think about whether you might want to help organize this group (reserving the room\, sending out reminders)\, or facilitate this group (keep the conversation moving du ring the meetings).\n\nVisit the Parent Journey Page for more info.

If you think you have no artistic talent \, you will be amazed by what you can do. Each session stands alone\, but the exercises and community also build on each other. All materials are pr ovided. For people of any age who can sustain an interest for two hours.\n \nFEBRUARY 2 and MARCH 1: MASKS. It is no surprise that masks have played a role in spiritual practices for millennia\, because they are powerfully evocative of spiritual processes. They allow us to channel the power of a guiding spirit\; they hide aspects of ourselves that we are not ready to s how to the world\; they help us express aspects of ourselves that we are s hy about revealing. No matter how honest we aspire to be\, we all present a different self to the world than the one we carry within\, and masks can help us explore this tension. This is a two-session class so that we can make plaster masks modeled on our own faces\, let them dry\, and then add colors\, textures\, and images during the second session. It is ideal to p articipate in both. However\, if you can only come to the March session\, there will be paper masks waiting for you to decorate. If you can only com e to the February session\, you may of course take your mask home and deco rate it when it dries.\n\nPLEASE NOTE that March's class will be the last monthly gathering led by Amy. She will\, however\, lead occasional art-bas ed spiritual explorations\, such as mask-making\, prayer beads\, and copin g with loss and grief through art\, so watch this space\n\n \;\n\n Da te: First Sundays Jan 5\, Feb 2\, Mar 1\n Time: 1-3 pm\n Location: Room 4/5\n Facilitator: Amy Zucker Morgenstern\n Contact: Amy Zucker Morgens tern (parishmin@uucpa.org)\n Registration: Not required\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12 /Copy-of-Exploring-Art-1.png CATEGORIES:Classes LOCATION:Room 4/5 GEO:37.419574;-122.11249800000002 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=505 E Charleston Rd\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Room 4/5:geo: 37.419574,-122.11249800000002 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6036@uucpa.org DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200202T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200202T160000 DTSTAMP:20200409T174049Z URL:https://www.uucpa.org/events/harmonic-circle-6-2020-02-02/ SUMMARY:Harmonic Circle DESCRIPTION:Harmonic Circle UUCPA is closed to in-person events\, however Harmonic Circle will continue to meet.  Different people are hosting.
