OARS in the Water

September 22nd

 7:00pm-8:30pm EDT

 

Hosts: Heather Forest & Lani Peterson

 Theme:  RENEWAL

As Goethe has stated, “We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden.” In this fall time of fresh starts with new demands, how do we meet the moment with renewed strength, passion, and commitment? What are the restorative practices that lead to renewal?

 

Admission is free, although donations are appreciated.

We’ll gather via Zoom. Here is the link:

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 this turbulent time. This is not a therapeutic circle but we do hope it will be healing, supportive and inspiring.
