Link to Event: https://healingstoryalliance.org/oars/ Event Website: https://healingstoryalliance.org/ Event Phone: 6517038191 Event Contact Email: ahealingstoryalliance@gmail.com OARS in the Water produced by Healing Stories Alliance, Inc. Wednesday, March 27th at 7:00-8:30 pm EDT via Zoom Hosted by: Laura Simms & Jim Brule Theme: "Needed Monsters: The Heart of Transformation" When, in a story, monsters are not overcome but transformed, the doors to healing are opened. How can we build the flexibility of perception and strength of spirit to invite the monsters we need into our stories and our lives? Join Laura Simms and Jim Brulé as they invite us to explore the gifts that our monsters bring. 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.

Purpose: We all need a little more kindness in our lives. Perhaps a story can take us there.

Once upon a time, a data-processing geophysicist with a liking for green spaces walked into a storytelling meeting. …And 20 years passed. Ai-Lin lives in Singapore. She has taught storytelling in classrooms, facilitated workshops for children and adults, and performed in museums, schools, at events and at storytelling festivals in Singapore. She enjoys fact-based tales as much as fantasy, and is partial to Zen and Sufi stories. She loves trees, forests and the sea. “Nature is a giant story-web. All those Connections, the way things work… How can one not be in a state of constant Wonder?” Ai-Lin is also a licensed Nature guide and Tourist guide, with special interests in sustainability, heritage, culture, and history. She has discovered that storytelling skills work wonders on walking tours! EMCEE Regi Carpenter has been utilizing the power of stories to motivate, inspire, energize and focus individuals in corporate, academic and non-profit settings for over twenty years. Regi is the recipient of many awards, including Storytelling World, Parent’s Choice, and Parents’ Guide to Children’s Media Award. Her stories have been featured on Sirius Radio, Apple Seed Radio, The Moth, and NPR. Her story Snap! is a winner of the Boston StorySlam. Snap! is the true tale of her severe mental illness as a teenager and her journey back to reality. Regi is also the founder of Stories with Spirit, a creative initiative dedicated to bringing songs of joy and stories of hope to grieving children and the people who love and care for them in homes, hospices, and hospitals. COMMUNITY TELLERS Mona Seervai trained as a scientist, worked as an activist for a decade, until she found her element as a high school teacher. She taught in three different schools in Mumbai, and worked as Head of School for over 15 years. Currently retired, she continues to engage with schools offering the international curriculum as a consultant, as well as training teachers to deliver a social emotional ethical curriculum across the K-12 continuum. She is also training to be a mindfulness meditation teacher, along with continuing a personal practice with cognitively based compassion training (CBCT®). Mona met Lani Petersen quite by chance during a workshop in Mumbai, and had a real a-ha moment! She has been a storyteller all her life, without even realizing – as an activist in her 20s, a teacher in her 30s and 40s, and as a School Head in her 50s and some of the 60s! All she did at school was tell stories, so many stories! Her former students do not remember any of the Chemistry or Physics she taught them, but they value the stories they shared – the ones she told and the ones she listened to! The parents and teachers at school, likewise. Going ahead, Mona wants to harness the power of storytelling and heal herself as well as help others heal through mindful awareness and storytelling. Diana Andrews’ work has always been as a team member, so, after retirement, and in her personal life, it seemed natural to gravitate toward volunteer work, which often depends upon teamwork. Besides being a Girl Scout leader for many years she was on the local Food Pantry Board of Directors, is a Recycling Committee member, and volunteers at a weekly community dinner church. Those are just a few of her many volunteer jobs! This past September, Diana answered a call for volunteers to help sort clothes, collected by way of a clothes drive in support of migrant families housed in a local hotel. One of the organizers reached out shortly afterwards, asking if she would be interested in helping transport some of the migrants to and from their hotel to the Senior Center, where they would cook meals. That has led to her volunteering for two hours a week at a playroom for the migrant children, who are too young to attend school.

She brought stories into her work as a psychotherapist and when she retired found the rich storytelling culture in Toronto. As a teller she tries to bring that sense of magic into personal storytelling. She can be heard mainly at 1001 Friday Nights of Storytelling in Toronto and at “Her Voice Returns” an on-line storytelling series she co-produces with Susan Ida Boucaud on women's experiences and The Feminine Principle. 1001 Friday Nights of Storytelling: http://www.1001fridays.org Feature’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/HerVoiceReturns There is an $8 requested donation.

Take your Gravol before this one; you might get seasick. • In 1896, an enormous tidal wave swept the coast of Japan. Entire villages were washed away. Thirty thousand people died. In one village, however, not a single life was lost, because of the actions of one man. • In 1882 Ontario, Christie Ann Morrison got onto a steamship, to visit her sister in Michigan. Little did she know that she was about to experience one of Lake Huron's worst storms, in a ship that was never meant for deep water. She is a Toronto storyteller with a passion for traditional folk tales and Canadian history. A regular host at Storytelling Toronto’s StoryTent, 1001 Friday Nights of Storytelling and StorySwap Canada, she performs regularly, leads storytelling workshops and coaches emerging tellers.
