- OASIS EVERYWHERE He Is Risen: The Easter Stories (Zoom) Join instructor Dr. Mark Etling, Ph.D. in Historical Theology for an illuminating discussion on the timeline of events that led to the holiday we call Easter. What does it mean to say Jesus was “raised from the dead?” The event referred to as Easter was critical to the faith of the early Christian movement. Yet, the story’s details vary quite a bit in the four Gospels. We will take a close look at the Resurrection stories to come to a deeper understanding of Easter. store.oasiseverywhere.org/+ risen

In this Saturday morning retreat, we will learn techniques from the Buddhist tradition to protect our mind. Because, ultimately, it is our mind that determines whether we are happy or miserable.

- THE UNITY CENTER, San Diego Krishna Das Kirtan Concert Join us for an evening of Kirtan with Krishna Das. Kirtan is a simple and meditative traditional sadhana (spiritual practice.)

Kirtan is said to awaken bhakti, a kind of reverential and loving devotion within the heart. In India, kirtan is given great importance as a sadhana that is suitable and accessible to all, particularly in this modern age, and this devotional singing can be heard and experienced in a myriad of forms and places. Kirtans with Krishna Das require no previous experience. All are welcome. www.theunitycenter.net/events

- OASIS EVERYWHERE Science and Religion: Reconcilable Differences? (Zoom) The tension between science and religion may be a significant fact concerning contemporary politics, but the rift goes back centuries.

- OASIS San Diego The Wisdom of Resilience Class No.1227 (In-Person La Mesa) Growing older means letting go, but it also means saying hello to a whole host of new experiences, perceptions, opportunities, and insights. In more ways than one, our sunset years are a second childhood – an opportunity to view the world anew, with new eyes, and to slip deeper into a sense of wonder and appreciation. But it takes resilience to stay joyful in the face of the facts – our waning abilities, the loss of loved ones, and the dawning awareness that we can’t wait until later to be happy – we have to choose it now. Join us as we comb through the world’s wisdom traditions for tools we can use to cultivate the resilience needed to remain conscious of the beauty and wonder of being alive. Things Are Always Working Out For Me! Class No, 2577 Does this statement ring true to you? Why not attend this Law of Attraction class and meet other like minded people?

- OASIS San Diego The Great Philosophers: Immanuel Kant Class No.2046 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo) Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) took it upon himself to repair the rift between rationalism and empiricism in startling ways, and ever since Kant, we’ve been arguing about whether or not he pulled it off. But one thing’s for sure, Kant left behind a towering body of work upon which all modern philosophy is built. Particularly impactful is the way he grounded moral philosophy in metaphysics. Ethical determinations, Kant argued, are best anchored to logical calculations instead of being left to the vagaries of the heart. Morality, he claimed, was our birthright and our moral obligation. Join us in this inquiry to learn just how much of our modern worldview is rooted in the philosophy of Kant. Indigenous Religions–Ideologies Explained Class No. 2361-2 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo) This class will explore the foundations of religion focusing on tribal and pre-tribal society.
