The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4-5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you a re welcome to come twice a week or once in a while.\n\n\n\n\nThe reading f or this session: Wednesday\, July 22nd\n\nI am putting myself to the fulle st possible use\, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.\n—HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey\n\n\n\nThe participant s 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 conversation. 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 friends.\n\n\n\nFacilitators use a light hand\, posting the rea ding 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 that role.\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this class fr om your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, passcode 227385\n Jo in this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this c lass by phone: 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Joi n this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (Sa n 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 Wednesdays.

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:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
