OARS in the Water
July 10,2024
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT
Hosted by Sara DeBeer & Sonia Bareja
Theme: Chaos to Clarity
“To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.” — Lao Tsu
Have you experienced times when you are constantly trying to live up to other people’s expectations and losing yourself in the process? In this session, we will explore ways to declutter our physical space and/or our mental space and arrive at a place when your mind is calm and still.
OARS in the Water is a facilitated Zoom gathering that meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm Eastern Time. The Healing Story Alliance’s OARS in the Water offers a community listening space in which to share the experiences and stories that have emerged in turbulent times.
OARS co-hosts facilitate the evening and provide participants with a warm welcome and a meaningful theme which we hope will be healing, supportive and inspiring.
Format: A typical 90-minute meeting consists of a 20-minute, theme-based opening, followed by 20-minutes in breakout rooms, and then we reassemble for a whole group conversation.
Admission is free, although donations are deeply appreciated and help support our programming. Your tax-deductible donation can be made here:
