The sessions are on Saturdays\, 4- 5\, and on Wednesdays\, 12-1. All are wide open and you are welcome to com e 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 commu nity 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 ses sion only an hour long\, Resonant Reading jumps right in to the conversati on. 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 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 tha t role.\n\nThe reading for this session:\nWednesday\, October 15th\n\n“ [...]the only people for me are the mad ones\, the ones who are mad to liv e\, mad to talk\, mad to be saved\, desirous of everything at the same tim e\, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing\, but burn\, burn\, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody go es “Awww!”\n―Jack Kerouac\, On the Road\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
