The sessions are on Saturdays\, 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 years h ave found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate co mmunity of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as t he reading itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the convers ation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very w ell this 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 a nd calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come fr om group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, November 29\n\nThro ughout the book you will often find the narrator’s term we instead of I. This is for three reasons. First\, as with any book that synthesizes larg e bodies of knowledge\, I collaborate with thousands of scientists and his torians over the course of centuries. Second\, the reading of a book shoul d be an active collaboration between reader and writer. Third\, our brains are composed of vast\, complex\, and shifting collections of subparts\, m ost of which we have no access to\; this book was written over the course of a few years by several different people\, all of whom were named David Eagleman\, but who were somewhat different with each passing hour.\n--Davi d Eagleman\, Incognito (2011)\, p. 228.\n[Concluding his acknowledgements at the end of the book\, Eagleman explains his use of “we” rather than “I” when referring to the book’s author.]\n\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/91019857324\, pas scode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7 324\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 phones: +16699009128\ ,\,91019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  F ind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom l ink for Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often tha n not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is a ny reading that helps us to:\n\n connect to something of supreme importan ce 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 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
