The sessions are on Satur days\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welco me to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the y ears have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affection ate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as importan t as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, w ith a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the c onversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among f riends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* c ome from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want t o try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session\, Wednesday\, November 6\ , 2024:\n\n\nBut how shall we expect charity towards others\, when we are uncharitable to our selves? Charity begins at home\, is the [voice] of the world\, yet is every man his greatest enemy\, and as it were\, his [own] executioner. Non occides\, is the [Commandment] of God\, yet scarce observ ed by any man\; for I perceive every man is his [own] Atropos\, and lends a hand to cut the [thread] of his [own days]. \n\n―Thomas Browne\, Relig io Medici\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using t he Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by on e-tap on mobile phones: +16699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoni ng in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us /u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved mislea ding--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it' s worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look fo r in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n conn ect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to oth er beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our liv es with our values\,\n perceive or feel more 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,Learning,Ongoing Events,Small Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
