OARS in the Water
October 14th
7:00pm-8:30pm EDT
Hosted by Lee-Ellen Marvin & Andy Davis
Theme: Wayfinding
These days, we often rely on electronic devices such as GPS to find our way to new places, leaving behind folded and re-folded maps and scribbled directions. What have we lost when we no longer need to turn to a community member for directions or pay close attention to the street signs? And how have we found our way to the dearest places and people who are part of our lives today?

ABOUT THE MEETING
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: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/the-power-of-storytelling
