I (Sarah) pop up all over the world delivering private and public talks, workshops, events, seminars, training sessions, one to one Wellmaking Clinic sessions, our #ChangemakersRetreat spaces at conferences and more (I try and keep my carbon emissions to a limit therefore some events are via Zoom where possible). Over the years I’ve delivered hundreds of events to thousands of people directly. I would love to see you at one of our events but don’t worry if you can’t attend. You are still part of the collective as a craftivist who takes in our projects alone or in a group wherever you are in the world and at any time of year (no excuse;p). Open your diary and lets see if we can hang out…
