We love myths, folk and fairytales for their wisdom, metaphors and shared humanity. We love biographical stories that give us courage, understanding and hope. Religious stories may inspire us and guide us. Join us as together we will explore and reflect upon the stories that have been touchstones in our lives. (Please do not come prepared to tell a full story. We will share only brief descriptions and why they have been meaningful in our life journeys.) 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 appreciated. https://storynet.org/donate/ We’ll gather via Zoom.

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?"

Join the journey to discover your current feelings and inner state, open difficult conversations, and hopefully uncover a space of stillness and peace to hold whatever storms may come.

He is a Maggid, which is an ordained spiritual storyteller, and runs a school for multi-faith spiritual storytelling with students and faculty from over a dozen different traditions.
