We meet at 12:30 pm in the Biddle room and online (by request – please contact rdainow[at]gmail.com if interested in attending online). Everyone is welcome. \nOn Sunday\, March 9\, all are welcome to dive into “The Candy House” by Jennifer Egan—a thought-provoking\, award-winning novel that explores memory\, technology\, and human connection. Told through a series of unconventional yet interconnected narratives\, the story revolves around “Own Your Unconscious\,” a futuristic technology that lets people upload their memories to a collective digital space in exchange for access to the memories of others. If a technology like ‘Own Your Unconscious’ existed\, how do you think it would change relationships\, identity\, and society as a whole? \nCome share your thoughts\, interpretations\, and questions in a lively discussion! Whether you’ve read the book cover to cover or are just curious about its themes\, we’d love to have you join the conversation.\n\nWe hope to see you there! Happy reading!\nif attending online\, please join using the link: ucv.im/second-sunday-books or click on blue JOIN MEETING button below.

SUMMARY:Climate Activism.  What we can do to make an impact
DESCRIPTION:The impacts of a changing climate are in our faces daily. \nAre you anxious and not knowing what to do? \nHundreds of BC citizens took direct action against the fossil fuel perpetrators of the crisis and were arrested on Burnaby Mountain for opposition to TMX\, a pipeline carrying diluted bitumen from the tar sands to Burrard Inlet. \nThis forum will feature a panel of arrestees\, including members of VanU\, who will tell us what they did and why. Come for inspiration as we discuss best options for moving forward and for a challenge to step up in community in defense of a more secure future. \nThe anthology\, Standing on High Ground: Civil Disobedience on Burnaby Mountain\, containing first hand accounts and court testimonies of 25 arrestees\, will be available for sale. \n  \nThis forum is sponsored by the Environment Team.

SUMMARY:Second Sunday Book Group - Fire Weather by John Vaillant
DESCRIPTION:The VanU Second Sunday Book Group will meet on Sunday October 13\, 12:30 p.m. at Biddle and online at this link to discuss Fire Weather by John Vaillant. \nJohn Vaillant is a stellar Vancouver author. His books read like gripping novels but are based in reality and well-researched facts. This non-fiction book sets the scene for the unimaginable firestorm that engulfed the city of Fort McMurray Alberta in May\, 2016. He digs deep into the history of the boreal forest\, the tar sands\, the oil industry\, the city\, fire itself and the dreadful beast that was created by one small spark. Deeply disturbing and enlightening. \nEveryone who has read or is interested in hearing about this book is welcome. \nThe Vancouver Unitarians’ Second Sunday Book Group meets after the Sunday service on the second Sunday of each month (except July and August). We meet at 12:30 pm in the Biddle room and online (by request – please contact rdainow[at]gmail.com if interested in attending online).

SUMMARY:Second Sunday Book Group
DESCRIPTION:The Vancouver Unitarians’ Second Sunday Book Group meets after the Sunday service on the second Sunday of each month (except July and August). We meet at 12:30 pm in the Biddle room and online at (ucv.im/second-sunday-books). \nFor March’s meeting\, we will discuss Walden by Henry David Thoreau. Most long-time Unitarians will need no introduction to Thoreau. Along with other Transcendentalists\, some of whom were his friends and neighbours\, he was involved in the beginning of Unitarianism in America. Walden\, published in 1854\, was written while Thoreau lived in a cabin he built at Walden Pond (1845-47). Part nature book\, part do-it yourself guide to simple living\, and part a biting critique of contemporary society\, the book can also be read as a guidebook to the spiritual life\, or  what he and his fellow Transcendentalists called “self-culture\,” the cultivation of the soul. Everyone is welcome. \nif attending online\, please join using the link: ucv.im/second-sunday-books or click on blue JOIN MEETING button below.
