OARS in the Water: Memory: Friend or Foe?

Link to Event: https://healingstoryalliance.org/oars/ Event Website: https://healingstoryalliance.org/ Event Phone: 651-703-8191 Event Contact Email: ahealingstoryalliance@gmail.com HSA Presents: OARS in the Water Wednesday, October 25th 7:00 – 8:30 pm EDT – Online Hosted by: Penny Post & Angela L. Lloyd Theme: Memory: Friend or Foe? Memory teases the mind the way fool’s gold tricks the eye. The stories we tell ourselves may be other than what occurred. Yet our own version is still true for us, in how we felt at the time and how we remember it. Let’s explore ways to revisit memories that can lead to healing. About Our Hosts for Oct. 25th Penny Post has a BA in English from Wellesley College, and an MFA in creative writing from Lesley College. For 30 years she told stories and gave workshops in the business world all over southern California through Toastmasters, coaching clients in both speaking and writing. Her day job was technical writing. In 2007 she came home to New England, picked up the MFA, and now teaches storytelling at her senior residence community. She is a member of both the Healing Story Alliance programming Committee and the HSA Advisory Committee. Angela Lloyd, MFA is an award-winning storyteller, musician, and teaching artist. She is matchmaker of spoken word and music. A virtuosa on washboard, with autoharp, ukulele, spoon and bell, Angela’s performances are a whimsical braid of poetry, story and song. An eclectic repertoire showcases her unique style and timing. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Acting, is Bilingual in Spanish and English and has coached PreK- 6 students, PreK and elementary school educators, amateur and professional storytellers for the past 26 years. 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. We’ll gather via Zoom. Here is the NEW link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84757183292?pwd=WENjdm53c3hRb0owQmZuK045M0FKQT09
