The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, a nd on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to come twi ce a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years have foun d that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inquirers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the readi ng itself. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. T hose 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 friends.\n\n\n\ nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calli ng on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that rol e.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, May 9\nWe know only a small portion of who we are\, for we are many. We have innate personalities\, m ythlike\, archetypal figures that live through us in our daily lives. We a lso absorb pieces of the people we encounter and are shaped by events. The novelist Michael Ondaatje puts it beautifully: "There is the hidden prese nce of others in us\, even those we have known briefly. We contain them fo r the rest of our lives\, at every border that we cross."\nThomas Moore (2 014)\, A Religion of One's Own\, pp. 89-90.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\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 (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1 985 7324\n Join this class by on-tap on mobile phones: +16699009128\,\,91 019857324# US (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find y our local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link f or Saturdays.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sac red text\, which we still look for in the readings we choose. It is any re ading 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:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
