### My story

Hi, I’m Rachit, the one behind Dillipoetry. I just wanted poetry to get off the stage, into our bones, into Delhi’s air. Two years back, I started Lyrical Walks—felt poetry with feet and heart, not just words. For me, poetry is a portal: climate, queerness, identity, resistance, all tangled in verse. My words travel, but the real magic? It’s in small circles, forest walks, blank pages dented by real people, one poem at a time.

### My work

- **Poetic Healing Forest Walks**: We wander together, letting poetry grow in the wild, feeling each word in our bodies.
- **Immersive Poetry Workshops**: No teaching, just making space for poems to show up. Prompts, nature, and deep reflection guide us.
- **Intimate Poetry Salons & Literary Performances**: Small gatherings, honest sharing, curated readings—where verse meets life, no filters.
- **Open to All**: Queer, curious, artist, beginner—doesn’t matter. If poetry feels alive to you, you belong here.
