A fun and productive couple of weeks as 21 CENTA students over 2 x blocks joined the Chapelgarth Writing Retreat, getting funding applications, thesis chapter and papers completed in a focusing, relaxing setting on the North York Moors. Let's hope the inspiration train keeps rolling! #CENTATraining
