"How many people in the world can say that they’ve written inside the Barbican conservatory?
It was such a perfect environment to seek inspiration in and a gift to be surrounded by fellow writers in a space that encourages self-discovery, parallel to our writing exercises. It felt easy to become fully immersed in the session. It was so well facilitated.
All of the other participants were bound together by an interest in nature, in exploring what it means to us as individuals and a collective. Such dynamic discussion and reflections were put forward by the group, which I really enjoyed being part of."
