Since 1978, Sara has been telling these stories to audiences of all ages. A listener said, “Sara is a captivating storyteller, sensitive to her audience and their interests. Her extensive repertoire enables her to present programs on a wide variety of themes.” Sara is a published poet who also teaches poetry-writing classes. In 2004, she was awarded the Barbara Reed Award for Distinguished and Outstanding Service to the Connecticut Storytelling Community. http://storydebeer.com/ Donna Marie Kuczynski writes, “When I first decided to tell a story instead of read one, I wasn’t sure about the whole idea; but I remembered loving the stories that my grandmother (Katie Corcoran Barry) told me, so I started with one of hers and added a few details of my own. Telling stories isn’t easier than reading books, storytelling is a completely different art. Storytelling is a "responsive art form.” Donna Marie won the 2002 National Storytelling Network “Oracle” award, North Central Region for exemplary service and significant contributions to the community through storytelling.

OARS in the Water: Image as Medicine

Laura and Pomme will take you on a journey into the heart opening layers of meaning that emerge from images; what significance they have for you and how ancient images bring insight and visceral healing. Laura will tell a ‘Roma’ magic-legend ‘Apples into doves’. And together Pomme and Laura will lead the group through a short and gentle creative writing task, and a dynamic break out room. The group will share writings and thoughts as we gain knowledge of the efficacy of the spoken image as symbol, more direct than metaphor. We will finish by taking the images deeper, asking what are the images of stories telling us today? 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.
