The sessions are on Saturda ys\, 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 yea rs have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionat e 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\, wit h a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the con versation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other ve ry well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among fri ends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the ch at and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* com e from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday (8/23 at 4PM)\n\n The text is Rembrandt's "Jacob blessing the sons of Joseph" : https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Blessing_the_Sons_of_Joseph_(Rembrandt)\n\n\n\n\n \nHow to join:\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us /j/91019857324\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Me eting 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 mobile p hones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n \nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one th ing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describi ng the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the reading s we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect 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 valu es\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically ou rselves.\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
