“The workshop was different in a very positive way: this workshop wove instruction on craft, on the topic of pacing. Hannah introduced this as “gentle instruction: and it fit smoothly with the AWA method.”- Pacing for Emotional Impact workshop participant

“Hannah did a fantastic job weaving in craft instruction with the traditional elements of an AWA workshop (writing, sharing and feedback) and created a strong sense of balance between elements. The instruction tied directly to the writing prompts, so we could freely experiment AWA-style but with new information to try out.” – Pacing for Emotional Impact workshop participant
