The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5. All are wide open and you are welcome to come weekly or once in a while.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, July 11\, 202 6\n\n\n\n\nA Spiritual Journey\n\nAnd the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles\,\nno matter how long\,\nbut only by a spiritual journey\ ,\na journey of one inch\,\nvery arduous and humbling and joyful\,\nby whi ch we arrive at the ground at our feet\,\nand learn to be at home.\n—Wen dell Berry\n\n\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the appr oach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itself. Whil e many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour lo ng\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are fr equently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and thos e who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators u se 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 also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\n\n \; \n\n\nHow to join:\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoo m.us/j/91019857324\, passcode 227385\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 1985 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobi le phones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvI YT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for on e thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth desc ribing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the rea dings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to somet hing 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 and authenticall y 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:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
