Description Throughout a week of writing workshops (affectionately referred to as the Barkly Writers' Retreat) participants, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, were given exercises to inspire their imaginations and stimulate their senses. There was quite a bit of emotional excavation amongst the writers once they entered the world of sensory perceptions sight, sound, scent, taste and touch - and learned from each other that childhood memories can be some of the richest and most emotional sources of writing materials.
