OARS in the Water
October 26th
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT

Hosted by Mike Seliger; Regina Ress

Theme: Honoring Ancestors

We gather at this time of year when the veil between the worlds is thinnest, and the
opportunity to connect with ancestors is greatest. Ancestors could be human or not,
might be a relative or a legend, a teacher or tree, animal or anima, present or a
memory. Who or what might you wish to honor and to share in story?

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:
