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: Wednesday\, March 4th\n\n“…i nsofar as we are animals our business is at all costs to survive. To make biological survival possible\, Mind at Large has to be funneled through th e reducing valve of the brain and nervous system. What comes out at the ot her end is a measly trickle of the kind of consciousness which will help u s to stay alive on the surface of this particular planet….”\n—Aldous Huxley\, The Doors of Perception\n\n\nHow to join:\n\n\n\n Join this cla ss 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 t his 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\,\,96865808923#   (San Jose)\n Phoning in\, but not in the Bay Area?  Find your local n umber: https://zoom.us/u/abL8clvIYT\n\nThis is the Zoom link for Wednesday s.

That proved misleading--for one thing\, more often than not our source s 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:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
