Hannah contributes with fervour to a re-imagination of what it means to be human in a world undergoing rapid change. Her work pulls together diverse angles to create integrative works of great vision, magnetic attractiveness and profound importance. Hannah combines the qualities of acute intellect, high emotional sensitivity, sovereignty of aesthetic judgment and bold perseverance in one person.

I’ve worked alongside Hannah in many settings: as a storyteller (for advaya), as an editor (Dark Mountain), at the helm in the Hebrides (Sail Britain), jumping over mythic fires in London (Experimental Thought Co). In all these she was a superb curator and connector of people – talented, energetic, funny, smart, observant – qualities needed for hosting intelligent spaces to explore radical ideas & kinship in unravelling times.

I’m impressed by the rigour that Hannah applies to her projects and life in general. It’s rare that an educator is able to share such passionate learning: Hannah achieves this in spades. As someone who has a strong eye for an image and the creation of story, and now an immersion into island culture, Hannah is buzzing with creative ideas.

James Murray-White (Filmmaker & Activist)

Hannah’s range of skills, interests and activities are truly transdisciplinary in spirit, which is why they are hard to capture with a single term. I think of her as an eco-poet-philosopher. Her work focuses on ecological storytelling, education and advocacy to create community and strengthen the inner and outer resources we need to address the climate crisis.

Anna Katharina Schaffner (Coach & Writer)

Hannah is an imaginative and progressive thinker, maker and curator. The conversations and art she creates and enables honour the local and the global in their scope and stretch far beyond human-centredness. I always feel excited by what she's doing, how she's doing it, and what she'll do next.

Anna Selby (Schumacher College)

Hannah expresses many skills through her work: creative vision, holistic thinking, careful facilitation, and clear, incisive writing. She asks big questions about human and nonhuman relationships and follows her curiosity with care. Her weaving words and images together results in evocative perspectives about our living world.

Gavin Van Horn (CHN Press)

Hannah is doing important work. She is making a case for ‘islandness’ and how the impacts of the current crises on our lives might be best seen though that lens. She refuses to take the easy way out as an ‘armchair philosopher’ – rather, she immerses herself in these communities and seeks questions and answers on the ground. Her work is poetic and refreshing.
