Immersive Writing Retreats
Gudlu Resorts Chikmagalur
I run 4-day writing retreats in quiet green locations where you get focused time to work on your stories, honest feedback from a small group, and a writing community that sticks with you after the retreat.

About Immersive Writing Retreats
Why I Do This
Building a real community for writers is everything to me. These retreats are where it happens for real - we get out of the city, switch off the noise, and find people who get what it means to care about words. I’m not too formal about most things, but when it comes to the energy and support here, I’m all in.
What It Feels Like
People say it’s intense but fun - you’ll write till your brain hurts, but you’ll laugh till your stomach does too. Days are long, packed with creative writing getaway sessions and honest feedback-driven writing retreat groups. No one’s judging, but expect to be pushed beyond your comfort zone. Evenings? Full of silly games, dance-offs, deep talks, and the kind of bonding you don’t get on Zoom.
How It Works
We spend 4 days and 3 nights together. The agenda mixes deep work time, story development sessions, group workshops, and open critiques. You’ll get serious, constructive feedback and space to make actual progress on your projects. Meals are shared (sometimes with a little too much chai) and every retreat happens in green, quiet spots that make it easy to breathe and write.
What You Actually Get
Leave with real progress on your stories, a crew of writers who’ll hype you up (and call you out), and a whole lot more confidence in your craft. You’ll find your people here - and they stick around long after the retreat ends.

My Story
We’re Bangalore Writers Workshop, but honestly, most of us just call it BWW. Started off in coffee shops, now we’re this wild bunch of accidental writers, poets, and storytellers. You walk in a stranger, maybe by mistake, and walk out with a tribe. We’ve had paav bhaji picnics, Cubbon Park graduations, and writing retreats that felt like family. It’s not just about the words – it’s about finding your people, cheering every win, and growing together. That’s why we do this.
My Work
Workshops & Courses - We run creative writing workshops Bangalore folks love - short stories, poetry, play reading, translation, and special psychology-meets-writing courses.
Hands-on Workshop Model - No boring lectures. We do critique, role-play, writing activities, and deep talks. Feels more like therapy sometimes.
Finish What You Start - We help you stop being a serial first drafter. The group keeps you accountable till your story or poem is done.
Stories with Heart - We push for openness and empathy, helping you build dynamic characters and work with soul.
Writing Community Support - You’ll meet other writers, become a better reader, and maybe find your writing family.
