The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays \, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to come twice a week or onc e in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the appro ach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour lon g\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are fre quently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators us e a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who a lso take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe readin g for this session is by the 19th century British designer\, poet\, artist \, and activist William Morris\, from an 1880 lecture called "The Beauty o f Life":\nIf you want a golden rule that will fit everybody\, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful\, or believe to be beautiful.\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web b rowser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone : 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Ph oning 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 mis leading--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 for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n c onnect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our values\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully a nd 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:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
