OARS in the Water
August 9th
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT
Hosted by Lani Peterson and Karianna Rosenberg
Theme: Awakened by Awe
When we are filled with awe, it can affect us deeply. The natural world has many beings that bring us to a state of awe, or a scene of beauty that inspires us as it fills us with wonder, vitality, and joy. Let us explore together more consciously what awe does for our bodies, hearts, and souls, and how our stories of awe can touch others when we share what we have seen and felt.
OARS in the Water is a facilitated Zoom gathering on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month offered by Healing Story Alliance to create a listening space to share the experiences and stories that have emerged through turbulent times. This is not a therapeutic circle but we do hope it will be healing, supportive and inspiring.
Admission is free, although donations are deeply appreciated and help support our programming. Your tax deductible donation can be made here:
