Hannah speaks to academic, corporate, public and private groups on themes related to her books, artwork and creative process. She runs workshops for private and public institutions, including exhibition spaces, private and public groups. Hannah offers one-on-one coaching as well. 

Hannah's talks connect the dots between creative and contemplative practice in honest, dynamic and relatable ways. She speaks about connection, existence and uncertainty through the lense of specific art projects and personal experience. Her talks have been described as down to earth, relatable, and 'no BS'. Her art projects and ideas serve as bridges, offering new entry points to topics ranging from the chemical elements to prayer.

Watch a talk of Hannah's here given in Ann Arbor for Nerd Nite 2018 just before the Elements book was published.
Hannah’s Talks:
The Chemical Elements: a love letter to all things everywhere
Praying Outside the Lines:
A contemporary artist's take on prayer free of religion 
Art and Death!
You Are the Intersection
Creative Pioneering: Dynamic tools to live from to intuition

"That was a talk with the least BS I think I have ever heard. Thank you." Quimper UU Church sermon attendee, 2012.
