OARS in the Water
Wednesday, June 12th
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT
Hosted by Sara DeBeer & Renee Spears Emanuel
Theme: Surrounded by Angels
Join us as we reflect on our experiences with helpful strangers and generous friends, those who rendered aid and wanted nothing in return. It is also an opportunity to think back on moments when you felt the presence of an angel or a moment when you reached out to assist others, perhaps a gesture that was so instinctive that your heart had led you to support another before you’d even had a chance to think about whether to act or not.
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:
