The sessions are on Saturdays \, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome t o come twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate 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\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conve rsation. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very well this way\, and those who are new will soon find they are among frien ds.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to tr y that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, February 28\, 202 6\n\nThere are in our existence spots of time\,\nThat with distinct pre-em inence retain\nA renovating virtue\, whence\, depressed\nBy false opinion and contentious thought\,\nOr aught of heavier or more deadly weight\,\nIn trivial occupations\, and the round\nOf ordinary intercourse\, our minds\ nAre nourished and invisibly repaired.\n--William Wordsworth\, The Prelude \, book XII\, lines 207-15.\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n Join this class from yo ur Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/91019857324\, passcode 227385\n Join th is class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join t his class by on-tap on mobile phones: +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.

Th at proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than 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 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 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
