SUMMARY:The Forest for Opening Hearts
DESCRIPTION:OARS in the Water\nMarch 12th\n7:00pm-8:30pm EDT\nHosted by Jim Brulé & Dee Palanisamy\nOn Zoom \nDiscover the wisdom of the woods in “The Forest for Opening Hearts.” Explore themes of generosity and learn from nature’s quiet strength\, fostering a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us. Join us for an inspiring experience of storytelling\, meditation\, and community. \nOARS 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. \nOARS 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. \nFormat: 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. \nAdmission is free\, although donations are deeply appreciated and help support our programming. Your tax-deductible donation can be made here. \nAbout our Hosts\nJim Brulé is a transformational storyteller\, end-of-life doula\, mentor\, and educator.
