The sessions are 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 participants over the years have found that the approach we take\, and the respectful\, affectionate c ommunity 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 conver sation. 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 friend s.\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 f rom group members\, who also take turns facilitating\, if they want to try that role.\n\nThe reading for this session: Wednesday\, April 29th\n\n"Ho w did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked.\n"Two ways\," Mike said. "Gradually an d then suddenly."\n"What brought it on?"\n"Friends\," said Mike. "I had a lot of friends. False friends.\nThen I had creditors\, too. Probably had m ore creditors than\nanybody in England."\n—Earnest Hemingway\, The Sun A lso Rises\n\n\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 (San Jose) Meeting ID: 968 6580 8923\n Join this c lass by one-tap on mobile phones: 6699006833\,\,96865808923#  (San 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.

That prove d 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 connecte d 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 fu lly 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
