The sessions ar e 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 reading for t his session:\nThe soul should always stand ajar\,\nThat if the heaven inqu ire\,\nHe will not be obliged to wait\,\nOr shy of troubling her.Depart\, before the host has slid\nThe bolt upon the door\,\nTo seek for the accomp lished guest\,—\nHer visitor no more.\n\n—Emily Dickenson\, Poems: Thi rd Series (1896)\n\n\n\n\nThe participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate community of inqu irers in which we read and converse\, are as important as the reading itse lf. While many small groups begin with a check-in\, with a session only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversation. Those wh o 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\nFacili tators use a light hand\, posting the reading in the chat and calling on w hoever's Zoom hand is up. Suggestions for readings* come from group member s\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\n\ nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class from your Web browser: https://zoom .us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 6833 US (S an Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not i n the Bay Area?  Find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\n This is the Zoom link for Wednesdays.

That proved misleading--for one thi ng\, more often than not our sources are secular--but it's worth describin g 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 t he universe\n feel more intensely alive\n align our lives with our value s\,\n perceive or feel more deeply\n be more fully and authentically our selves.\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
