• OASIS EVERYWHERE  Urban Legends  Strange Creatures from all 50 States. Funny how every state in the union has their own special spooky legend.

But regarding enormous creatures inhabiting dark lakes, some copywrite lawyer should investigate that. Take a journey around the country and see actual places you’re not supposed to see.  store.oasiseverywhere.org/ + View Classes + urban legends

You will emerge with a better understanding of yourself and others.  Astrobiology: The Search for Life Class No. 1315 (In-Person La Mesa)  People have often pondered the question of whether we are alone in the universe. More than seeking intelligent life, a fundamental question is whether life of any form exists on other planets or moons. This talk will examine how NASA is seeking out the possibility of life on other worlds—from planets that orbit other stars, to planets and moons in our own Solar System. The answers may also give us understanding of how life came to pass on Earth. Using Genetic Genealogy to Find Family Class No. 2226 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo)  This presentation provides step-by-step guidance on how to use your DNA testing results in your genealogical research.

Each person’s walk with grief is different. Yet there are many who find comfort in the opportunity to be with those who have also experienced grief – sometimes to share their experience, sometimes to listen and learn from others how they cope with grief, sometimes just to draw comfort in knowing that they are not alone on this journey. Rev. Dr. Sharon L Bryant is a chaplain with VITAS Healthcare. She draws on her past experience as a counselor, a Protestant pastor, and a hospital and hospice chaplain to create a safe space for those experiencing grief to come together to support each other on this unique journey.   san-diego.oasisnet.org + Classes + Search 1352,2068

• OASIS San Diego  The Philosophy of Abortion Class No. 2043 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo)  By now we’re all familiar with the pro and con arguments surrounding America’s most contentious political debate—abortion. But how aware are we of the often-unstated philosophical positions underpinning those familiar arguments? Join us for this philosophical inquiry into the big questions the abortion debate draws to the surface: When does life begin? What do different religions and wisdom traditions say about that? What does liberty or freedom really mean? Do we own our own bodies? How does the 14^th amendment (granting a “right to life”) intersect with the 1^st amendment (prohibiting the establishment of a state religion)? No matter your current views, join us for this important work.  The Paranormal Experience: Discussion Group Class No. 2452 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo)  Have you had a spiritual, psychic, or paranormal experience?
