OARS in the Water

January 26th

7:00pm-8:30pm EST

Hosts: Kristin Pedemonti and Sarah O’Brien

 

Theme: What is the Glue that Keeps Us Together?

Let’s explore what and who keeps us going through the metaphor & philosophy of the Japanese Art of Kintsugi (mending broken pottery with glue and gold).

 

 

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.

 

 Admission is free, although donations are appreciated.

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