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:\n\n\nSaturday\, November 15th\nThis was the road over which Ántonia and I came on that night when we got off the train at Black Hawk and were bedded down in the straw\, won dering children\, being taken we knew not whither. I had only to close my eyes to hear the rumbling of the wagons in the dark\, and to be again over come by that obliterating strangeness. The feelings of that night were so near that I could reach out and touch them with my hand. I had the sense o f coming home to myself\, and of having found out what a little circle man 's experience is.\n\n\n—Willa Cather\, My Antonia\n\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: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 9128 US (S an Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobil e phones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but n ot in the bay area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIY T\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth descr ibing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the read ings we choose. It is any reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to someth ing 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 v alues\,\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:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
