The sessions are on Saturd ays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcom e to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the ye ars have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectiona te 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\, wi th a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the co nversation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other v ery well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among fr iends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the c hat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* co me from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, November 1st\ nQuran 49.12:\nO ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): fo r suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Trans by Yusuf Ali. Similar translations can be found at https://c orpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=49&\;verse=12\nStory told by Al Quturbi (famous commentator on the Quran\, around 1100)\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: Mee ting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 9128 US (San J ose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobile ph ones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not i n 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 thi ng\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describin g 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 connect to something of supreme importance to us\n feel more connected to other beings or to t he universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our value s\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically our selves.\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
