The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4 -5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to co me twice a week or once in a while.\n\nThe participants over the years hav e found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate comm unity 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 se ssion only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversat ion. Those who are frequently in the group get to know each other very wel l 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 calling on whoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try th at role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Saturday\, May 23\, 2026\n\n\nCl earing\n\nDo not try to save\nthe whole world\nor do anything grandiose.\n Instead\, create\na clearing\nin the dense forest\nof your life\nand wait there\npatiently\,\nuntil the song\nthat is your life\nfalls into your own cupped hands\nand you recognize and greet it.\nOnly then will you know\nh ow to give yourself\nto this world\nso worthy of rescue.\n—Martha Postle thwaite\n\n\n\n \;\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n Join this class from your We b browser: https://zoom.us/j/91019857324\, passcode 227385\n Join this cl ass using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this class by ph one: 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\, Meeting ID: 910 1985 7324\n Join this c lass by on-tap on mobile phones: +16699009128\,\,91019857324# US (San Jose )\n Phoning in\, but not in the bay area?  Find your local number: http s://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Saturdays.

That pro ved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our sources are secula r--but it's worth describing the qualities of a sacred text\, which we sti ll 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 connec ted to other beings or to the universe\n feel more intensely alive\n ali gn 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
