SUMMARY:"Stories of Our Lives" Adult Religious Education Course - ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Adult RE Offering from Rev. Bob:\n“The Stories of our Lives” \nThis Adult Religious Exploration course looks at the stories that impact our lives – sacred stories\, meaningful stories\, challenging stories. Class participants will be invited to read\, on their own time\, some of the world’s great texts (this class is not graded and offers no credits and no shaming\, so homework really is totally optional!). Stories we will explore together may include any of the following: \n\nStories of our beginnings: Genesis\, sacred stories from various traditions\nStories of morality: the Bhagavad Gita\, John Rawls\, Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter\nStories of our universe: relativistic physics\, chaos theory\nStories of the emergent self: The Color Purple\, Joseph Campbell\, Precious\, Hamlet\nStories of Love: Pride and Prejudice\, Upanishads\nStories of Mystery and Relationship: The Gospels\, Cloud of Unknowing\nNational Stories: A People’s History\, These Truths\n\nClearly\, there will be a lot of (entirely optional!) reading. But the classes themselves will not be merely a book review – principally\, we will use the texts as a lens at which to look at the sacred story of our own lives. What does it mean to be human? What are the possibilities of a human life? How do we make sense of it all? \nThis is not a lecture series. I hope to employ a variety of pedagogical methods\, to get folks to talk to one another and engage on a deep level. \nThe class meets on Monday evenings twice a month\, October through May. \nThe FIRST MONDAY of each month is ZOOM ONLY. 6:30 – 8 pm. \nThe THIRD MONDAY of each month is IN PERSON AT USH. 6:30 – 8:00 pm \nPlease note these are two DIFFERENT sessions\, on the same topic. The Zoom session is more introductory and conversational. In the second session\, we explore the topic in greater depth\, using different modes of participation. These sessions are not hybrid – meaning if you want to attend only in person or only on Zoom\, unfortunately you won’t be able to attend both sessions. But there’s no problem with only attending once a month. \nThe course is free\, but registration is required to help me communicate with the class better. Once you register\, you’ll receive a syllabus and a schedule with locations and Zoom links. \nWhen I was wondering what to offer in Adult RE this year\, I though about what I would most like to take\, as a participant. This is what I came up with\, and I’m trying it out for the first time. So needless to say\, I’m very excited about it! Any questions \, please feel free to ask me anything. Thanks! \nGratefully yours\, \nRev. Bob

SUMMARY:Helping Parents Heal - Library/David's Den
DESCRIPTION:Helping Parents Heal — Hartford is an affiliate chapter of Helping Parents Heal (https://www.helpingparentsheal.org)\, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting parents whose children have passed. Our support group allows for an open discussion of spiritual experiences and afterlife evidence in a non-dogmatic way. We welcome everyone regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds. \nHelping Parents Heal recognizes several factors that contribute to the healing process: caring support from others\, interaction with people who have also experienced the loss of a child\, service to others\, personal transformation\, and discovering a reason for hope. This hope comes from acknowledging our spiritual/energetic natures and understanding that our loved ones continue on in another realm after physical death. \nParents\, grandparents\, and siblings of a child who has passed at any age are welcome to join us. Our group meets on the first Saturday of each month from 10:00 a.m. – noon. Please contact Pamela Hamad if you would like more information at hphhartford@gmail.com or (941) 544-1083.

SUMMARY:"Stories of our Lives" Adult Religious Education Course - Room TBA
DESCRIPTION:Adult RE Offering from Rev. Bob:\n“The Stories of our Lives” \nThis Adult Religious Exploration course looks at the stories that impact our lives – sacred stories\, meaningful stories\, challenging stories. Class participants will be invited to read\, on their own time\, some of the world’s great texts (this class is not graded and offers no credits and no shaming\, so homework really is totally optional!). Stories we will explore together may include any of the following: \n\nStories of our beginnings: Genesis\, sacred stories from various traditions\nStories of morality: the Bhagavad Gita\, John Rawls\, Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter\nStories of our universe: relativistic physics\, chaos theory\nStories of the emergent self: The Color Purple\, Joseph Campbell\, Precious\, Hamlet\nStories of Love: Pride and Prejudice\, Upanishads\nStories of Mystery and Relationship: The Gospels\, Cloud of Unknowing\nNational Stories: A People’s History\, These Truths\n\nClearly\, there will be a lot of (entirely optional!) reading. But the classes themselves will not be merely a book review – principally\, we will use the texts as a lens at which to look at the sacred story of our own lives. What does it mean to be human? What are the possibilities of a human life? How do we make sense of it all? \nThis is not a lecture series. I hope to employ a variety of pedagogical methods\, to get folks to talk to one another and engage on a deep level. \nThe class meets on Monday evenings twice a month\, October through May. \nThe FIRST MONDAY of each month is ZOOM ONLY. 6:30 – 8 pm. \nThe THIRD MONDAY of each month is IN PERSON AT USH. 6:30 – 8:00 pm \nPlease note these are two DIFFERENT sessions\, on the same topic. The Zoom session is more introductory and conversational. In the second session\, we explore the topic in greater depth\, using different modes of participation. These sessions are not hybrid – meaning if you want to attend only in person or only on Zoom\, unfortunately you won’t be able to attend both sessions. But there’s no problem with only attending once a month. \nThe course is free\, but registration is required to help me communicate with the class better.  Once you register\, you’ll receive a syllabus and a schedule with locations and Zoom links. \nWhen I was wondering what to offer in Adult RE this year\, I though about what I would most like to take\, as a participant. This is what I came up with\, and I’m trying it out for the first time. So needless to say\, I’m very excited about it! Any questions \, please feel free to ask me anything. Thanks! \nGratefully yours\, \nRev. Bob
