OARS in the Water
September 11,2024
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT
Hosted by Elisa Pearmain & Yvonne Young
Theme: What Calls to You?
Life changing journeys, whether they take us far from home,or into our internal landscapes often
begin with a call. Maybe it's an inner longing that grows until it cannot be repressed, or a
happenstance experience that veers us off in a new life changing direction. Maybe that
call is still inside us like a seed ready for water. Elisa and Yvonne will share stories and invite you to
explore and share your own.
OARS in the Water is a facilitated Zoom gathering that meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the
month at 7 pm Eastern Time. The Healing Story Alliance’s OARS in the Water offers a community listening
space in which to share the experiences and stories that have emerged in turbulent times.
OARS co-hosts facilitate the evening and provide participants with a warm welcome and a meaningful theme
which we hope will be healing, supportive and inspiring.

Format: A typical 90-minute meeting consists of a 20-minute, theme-based opening, followed by 20-minutes in
breakout rooms, and then we reassemble for a whole group conversation.
