The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to c ome twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years ha ve found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate com munity of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as th e reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a s ession only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversa tion. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very we ll this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends. \n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat an d calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come fro m group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try t hat role.\n\nThe reading for this session\, Saturday\, November 2\, 2024:\ n\n\n"But after you have killed these suitors in your own palace\,\neither by treachery\, or openly with the sharp bronze\,\nthen you must take up y our well-shaped oar and go on a journey\nuntil you come where there are me n living who know nothing\nof the sea\, and who eat food that is not mixed with salt\, who never\nhave known ships whose cheeks are painted purple\, who never\nhave known well-shaped oars\, which act for ships as wings do. \nAnd I will tell you a very clear proof\, and you cannot miss it.\nWhen\, as you walk\, some other wayfarer happens to meet you\,\nand says you car ry a winnow-fan on your bright shoulder\,\nthen you must plant your well-s haped oar in the ground\, and render\nceremonious sacrifice to the lord Po seidon\,\none ram and one bull\, and a mounter of sows\, a boar pig\,\nand make your way home again and render holy hecatombs\nto the immortal gods who hold the wide heaven\, all\nof them in order. Death will come to you f rom the sea\, in\nsome altogether unwarlike way\, and it will end you\nin the ebbing time of a sleek old age. Your people\nabout you will be prosper ous. All this is true that I tell you.”\nBook 11\, Lines 119-137\, Odyss ey\, Richard Lattimore translation\n \;\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n Join th is class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/91019857324\, passcode 2 27385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 198 5 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobile phones: +16699009128\,\,9101 9857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find you r local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not o ur sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacre d text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any read ing that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to u s\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more i ntensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel mo re deeply\n be more fully and authentically ourselves.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.uucpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09 /Resonant-Reading.png CATEGORIES:Adult,Classes,Learning,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
