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 once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach 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 on ly an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Tho se who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well this w ay\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nF acilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group m embers\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role. \n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday (7/30 at 12 noon)\n\nIt is onl y in sleep that we may know that we live. There only\, in that living deat h\, do we meet ourselves and the far earth\, God\, and the saints\, the na mes of our fathers\, the substance of remote moments\; it is there that th e centuries merge in the moment\, that the vast becomes the tiny\, tangibl e atom of eternity.\n–William Saroyan from The Daring Young Man on the F lying Trapeze\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web bro wser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class u sing 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 Phon ing in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.u s/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misle ading--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 f or in the readings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n con nect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to ot her beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our li ves 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:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
