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: Wednesday\, September 10th\n \n"...Goethe tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment: "Stay\, thou art so fair." An d our liberty\, too\, is endangered if we pause for the passing moment\, i f we rest on our achievements\, if we resist the pace of progress. For tim e and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those w ho look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future."\n –John F. Kennedy\, in his address at the Paulskirche in Frankfurt\, Germ any\, on June 25\, 1963\n\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n J oin this class from your Web browser: https://zoom.us/j/96865808923\, pass code 227385\n Join this class using the Zoom app: Meeting ID: 968 6580 89 23\n Join this class by phone: 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this class by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,9 6865808923#  (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 fo r Wednesdays.

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:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
