In 2024, I began my facilitation of The Work That Reconnects.
What participants have said about my facilitation:
"Hannah brings groups together with heart and warmth. In introducing The Work That Reconnects, we were gently guided through Joanna Macy’s teaching and the cycle that balances our present grief in the climate emergency and our ancient gratitude for the natural world. Hannah created deep connection in a digital space, which is a rare skill and never more relevant than right now." - Paul S.
“The facilitation style. Particularly, I found Hannah very inspiring, authentic and rooted. Thanks for being such an excellent role model.”
“I’ve loved learning from Hannah and Jake - you’ve both done so much in demonstrating the skills you’ve been telling us about even without realising I think!”
