The whole experience was an absolute highlight for me - being immersed in nature, feeling free to express myself and create, feeling welcomed and appreciated, and having time to prioritise my work. I feel enormously boosted and encouraged, as well as feeling part of a really special and talented group of writers. It helped that everyone was so lovely, and that we all felt so cared for and looked after by the MMD and Find Your Light teams. This week was such a wonderful gift, and such a great way of using MMD's resources. - 2024 Barn Attendee
