Link to Event: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84757183292?pwd=WENjdm53c3hRb0owQmZuK045M0FKQT09 Event Website: https://healingstoryalliance.org/ Event Phone: 651-703-8191 Event Contact Email: ahealingstoryalliance@gmail.com OARS in the Water May 10, 2023 at 7:00pm-8:30pm EDT Hosted by Bob Kanegis & Liz Mangual Theme: Hospitality The doors to our dwellings swing both ways. We are sometimes the host, sometimes the guest and sometimes both at the same time. So it is with telling and listening, and we will do both in this evening of stories of hospitality offered and received. 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. Your tax deductible donation can be made here: https://square.link/u/d9xbGN2I We’ll gather via Zoom. Here is the NEW link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84757183292?pwd=WENjdm53c3hRb0owQmZuK045M0FKQT09 About our Hosts for May 10th Liz Mangual and Bob Kanegis perform and teach at schools, libraries, camps and conferences across the country. Their programs for adults explore the intersection of myth, folktale, family and culture. Among their notable collaborations are Visions’ and Voices with The United Nations Association, We Have Stories to Tell with migrant farm families, long-term projects with incarcerated youth and parenting teens, and a twelve-year award-winning oral language development residency with Santo Domingo and Cochiti schools. They encourage others to tell their stories with initiatives that include F.E.A.S.T! (Families Eating and Storytelling Together), and their Three Fold Legacy workshops.

“Will the Baby be Eaten by Wolves?!”
Title of Event: "Will the Baby be Eaten by Wolves?!" Event Website: stbrendans-me.org Event Phone: 207-348-6240 Event Contact Email: jaldenlachance@gmail.com Event Description: Maine storyteller, Jude Lamb, portrays her great-great-great-great-grandmother, Eunice Lakeman Hoar, to tell a family story of settling in the mountains of Maine. The family of Luther and Eunice Lakeman Hoar were the first white family to settle on what is now Rangeley Lake in 1817. The story was traditionally told from the male point of view with Luther as the heroic pioneer. Jude's investigation begs the question of how the story might differ if told from the eyes of a woman. Luther could not have taken nine children, including a baby and toddlers, without the help, direction and partnership of a strong woman. Eunice, given voice, tells of the family's dramatic twenty mile walk over late spring snow from the Avon, Maine area to Rangeley Lake. Not only did they travel over snow, but climbed as much as 1000 feet in elevation rise! Eunice engages us from the onset with her wry humor and tells an entertaining, enlightening story...a genuine Maine adventure! Join us to discover,"will the baby be eaten by wolves?!" This storytelling event is free and open to the public with suggested ages 12 and up
