The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to come t wice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have fo und that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate communit y of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the rea ding itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a sessio n only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well th is way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among friends.\n\n\ n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and cal ling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from gro up members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that r ole.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, October 18\, 2025\nThe pa st is never something merely to be discarded\, but rather … the present is intelligible only as a commentary upon and response to the past in whic h the past\, if necessary and if possible\, is corrected and transcended\, yet … in a way that leaves the present open to being in turn corrected and transcended by some yet more adequate future point of view.\n—Alasda ir MacIntyre (1981)\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: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this cla ss by phone: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Joi n this class by on-tap on mobile phones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US ( San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find your local numbe r: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources ar e secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, whic h we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any reading that help s us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel mor e connected to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely aliv e\n align our lives 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
