It wasn't just a floristry course, it was an experience. I felt so special, like an event had been thrown for me. I walked away and instantly put what I'd learned into practice.

The Pause Workshop experience brought back my creative spark. An experience I have not been able to stop thinking about — and that has changed my life and what I'd like to do with it.

Everything was insightful. Every single day I left with new knowledge, new techniques, new perspectives, and a head buzzing with creative stimulation. I left wanting more. I left inspired.

I think often people see a course and think it's too expensive — but I would have paid more if I knew it was this good. Gift yourself this experience. You will not regret it.

The workshop was invaluable. Anli and Amanda came to serve with their knowledge and did everything in their ability to give us the best — food, photos, floral guidance and experience.

The floral art became secondary and compassion for one another primary. From this experience we will all bloom into better people whilst dancing through the meadows of life.

Attending a Pause workshop was such a special treat and memorable experience. Gorgeous flowers, stunning venue and views, lovely people, incredible food, and the list goes on. Anli and Amanda? Their wisdom and knowledge, their sincerity and attention to detail are next level. And then the incredible team of floral assistants just made it extra special. I was reminded again of claiming our creative birthright and that each one of us are uniquely talented. No need to compare ourselves to anyone else! So whether you're just a hobbyist, or if you've been in the industry for a while and thinking about a Pause floral workshop, just go for it!

It has taken time to put this review together because being able to describe something as profound as Pause takes time. This workshop came at a time that I needed it. As a new mum, I needed something to help me breathe again, to help me do something that was beautiful, to create. To pause. From the very first email, Anli and Amanda were determined to help me make it work. This workshop was incredible and truly professional on every front. Not only are you equipped with an abundance of industry knowledge and practical insights from the best in the business, but you are taken care of. You are helped. You are surrounded by like-minded and supportive people, who, regardless of wherever they may come from, you really grow to love and cherish. You can feel the heart and soul of everything Anli, Amanda and the team put into these workshops. It’s a life changing investment, and so much more than a course. Thank you for the most beautiful experience

Life will never be the same. Tops on every aspect of a proper organised workshop. Your preparation of the venue and ambience was representative of the course qualities and contents. Flowers to work with were of high standard, perfect gifts, food, drinks, snacks and speakers were all outstanding in their field of expertise. Thank you to Amanda and Anli and all the freelancers for the way in which they don’t hold back in sharing their skills and flower experiences through the years. The ups and downs of working with flowers and the positive, friendly vibe showing they really want to establish a flower world for all interested, helping and encouraging you to become the best florist version of yourself. May pause flourish in years to come and the blessings from above will be a sign of the good seeds you constantly sow!

Pause Floral was so much more than I ever expected! Anli and Amanda shared their knowledge so generously, and this workshop completely reignited my creativity. I can’t wait to put everything I’ve learned into practice in my business. It was so much more than just a workshop—I left with invaluable knowledge, fresh inspiration, wonderful new friendships, and memories I’ll always treasure. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to grow both creatively and personally.
