  • OASIS EVERYWHERE  Other Christianities (Zoom)  In the early days of the Christian era, there was no Bible, no uniform belief system, no centralized authority structure, and no consistent liturgy. Additionally, there existed a multitude of often conflicting answers to crucial theological inquiries: Is God one? Is God the creator? Was Jesus God? Was Jesus a man? Is Jesus both God and a man? Is the Holy Spirit God? What does it mean to be saved? In this session, we will explore some of the many “flavors” of Christianity during its formative years.  store.oasiseverywhere.org/+ christianities

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 2075, 2393

  • butterfly- Spiritual Events San DiegoOASIS EVERYWHERE  Gnostic Christianity, Tuesdays, May 14 and 21 (Zoom)  In the initial centuries following Jesus’ death, diverse interpretations of Christianity existed. Various faith communities emerged, each asserting its legitimacy as the true way to practice Christianity.

Across two sessions, we will explore the Gnostic worldview, highlighting its distinctiveness from what eventually evolved into the “orthodox” Christian belief system.  The Story of the Dead Sea Scrolls  (Zoom)  Learn the story of the groundbreaking discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, including the explorations of the caves and the excavations at Qumran, and the progress of scholarly work in the subsequent 75 years.

Special attention will be paid to their unique theological positions, their relationship to other Jewish groups at the time, and their connections to early Christianity.  store.oasiseverywhere.org/+ gnostic, dead sea

  • OASIS San Diego  The Great Philosophers: Albert Camus Class No.1148 (In-Person La Mesa)  Algerian-born philosopher Albert Camus (1913-1960) firmly rejected the label “existentialist” his whole life. Nevertheless, his work stands as its most heartfelt expression. Through the rubble of the Russian revolution, WWII, the Holocaust, and the nuclear bomb, Camus helps us chart a course toward a life of meaning and value. Life, Camus argues, is fundamentally absurd, and we will not find any meaning or purpose in it, other than that which we impose upon it ourselves. Join us for a study of Camus’s bracing but ultimately inspiring work.   The Power of Plant Based Nutrition  Class No. 2378 (In-Person Rancho Bernardo)    A whole food plant-based lifestyle is the longest studied and most scientifically proven way to obtain optimal health.

Learning how to add more of these foods to your lifestyle every day — while still eating your favorites with just a few tasty substitutions — can lead you to a successful long-term health journey.  Aging in Place: Home Modifications for Successful and Independent Living Class No. 713 (In-Person Rancho Penasquitos Library)  FREE  Explore essential strategies to optimize the safety, comfort, and livability of your home.
