I have been so moved by the response to Write Around the World, our month-long marathon of donation-based, online writing sessions. Our aim this year was to help, to bring people together to experience the liberation and healing of the AWA method, rather than to raise a specific amount. For that reason, we set variable donation levels—some writers attended for as little as $1.
Latter from guy howard klopp: “Yes, I really do write my name in all lower case letters—perhaps it is an affectation or maybe just a core belief I have to accomplish great deeds to deserve capitalization.”
AWA leaders across the country are taking their offerings online to make writing together accessible during this time of isolation. Workshop leaders, if you have an online offering, please post it to our Event Calendar!
Dear AWA Friends,
The AWA Board had a great time meeting up over video-conference for a series of planning sessions. It was a wonderful way to get to know and orient our new members, Andrea and Guy. They’ll both be introducing themselves in future newsletters. Since we’re happily immersed in AWA’s big picture, we’d love to continue the conversation with you.
Dear AWA Friends,
We’ve had another exciting year at AWA. We trained 50 new workshop leaders; we supported 220 workshop leaders through our affiliate program; and we hope to raise $6000 with our year-end fundraising drive.
Greetings AWA friends!
Where the bijiminies does the time go? In January of 1999 I attended a sample AWA writing workshop during my MFA residency led by Patricia Lewis. This was a life changing event as I instinctively resonated with the method, the practice(s) that honored myself as an Artist.
Dear AWA friends,
As promised, we’ve launched the AWA training schedule for 2020. As of now, there are two locations confirmed with a third training still in the works.
Dear AWA friends,
Our last training of the year is full! We’ll have our 2020 schedule launched soon so if you weren’t able to be trained this year, you can make a plan to join us. For the rest of 2019, AWA affiliates have many offerings to keep you busy. Explore by location and keyword in our affiliate directory, or look by date on our Event Calendar.
Dear AWA friend,
How are you holding up in the heat this July? That is, if you’re in the northern hemisphere—for our newly trained Australian friends, how are you staying warm?
