- Why spaces such as the writing retreat are critical for the memory of authentic and diverse stories
- How the positive environment contributed to the blend of productivity and relaxation, essential for creative work.
- Celebrating the chemistry among participants, which was organic and compassionate, with a strong sense of sisterhood and empathy.
- Why ongoing support post-retreat is crucial for helping participants navigate their writing journeys.
