Thanks so much to everyone who made our Write Around the World fundraiser another rousing success! You have funded several scholarships to the AWA training program. In addition to financial support, workshop leaders receive mentorship and encouragement from AWA after training. Each facilitator has the potential to serve hundreds if not thousands of writers from all walks of life. So again, we say thank you!
It feels wrong to celebrate an event like Write Around the World without acknowledging the pain in our world as well. AWA is currently planning a series of groups in the vein of last October’s What’s Pressing on Our Hearts. These will create space for writers of conflicting beliefs to sit with grief about what is happening in Palestine and Israel and to hear one another using the power of the AWA Method.
