Immersive Poetry Writing Workshops
I create spaces where poetry happens on its own—no strict rules, just reflection, connection, and the gentle art of paying attention. Whether we are in a quiet bookstore or wandering a forest trail, these sessions are designed to help you find your own voice.
'A Lyrical Poetry Workshop 2.0', focused on love, grief, and the proper work of attention. These day-long sessions are designed to connect writing, reflection, and people.
The first 'Lyrical Poetry Workshop'. I believe that while poetry can't be taught, conditions can be created for it to appear. This workshop is that condition.
A workshop in Bangalore on 'Making poems with The Little Prince'. We used this French classic as a portal to find what is essential but invisible to the eye.
Another session on 'The Little Prince', this time in collaboration with the Institut Français and Alliance Française. We go on a pilgrimage to find poems tucked in our own essential experiences.
More details about the 'Little Prince' workshop at Atta Galatta bookstore. No prior writing experience is needed, just curiosity and an open spirit.
'The Resting Poetics', a workshop on rest, revival, and forgiveness. A gentle reflection at the end of a mad week, held at the Novotel New Delhi.
This session guides participants through reflection and creative exercises to subvert the false ideas of rush and urgency, leading us toward self-compassion.
An early 'Café de Poetry' workshop. We meld the sensory experience of coffee and poetry, letting them bubble and bloom together.
Another coffee and poetry session in collaboration with Subko Coffee. These intimate workshops are designed to 'caffeinate' both beginners and practicing writers.
About Immersive Workshops: Exploring Worlds Within Words
You do not need to be a writer to show up. Our groups are kept small, usually between 7 to 15 people, which helps us focus on conversation and reflection rather than technical critique. Whether we are using a book as a portal or letting coffee aromas guide our writing, the goal is to leave with a draft that feels true to you, not a perfectly edited piece.
My approach to these workshops is to strip away the pressure of the 'perfect poem.' We work by creating the right conditions for your creativity to appear, using sensory triggers, visual art, and guided reflection to bypass your internal critic.
How We Work
We avoid rigid training modules. Instead, we use different 'portals' to access your stories. Some days we might use the story of The Little Prince to explore grief and joy, and other days we might focus on the sensory experience of specialty coffee to unlock new ways of describing the world. These are not academic classes; they are moments of collective breathing.
Where We Meet
I host these sessions across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru in spaces that feel like living rooms—bookstores like Atta Galatta, quiet corners in hotels, or outdoor green spaces. The goal is to be in an environment where you feel safe enough to put pen to paper.
What You Get
- Small Circles: Limited group sizes ensure everyone gets space to share without the noise of a large crowd.
- Tangible Output: Whether it is a single poem, a handmade zine, or a new journaling practice, you leave with something you created.
- Community: You will meet others who see poetry as a way to engage with the world, not just a hobby.
If you have been feeling blocked or simply need a space to reflect after a long week, this is a place for you.
Rachit Sharma
Hi, I am Rachit. I believe poetry is not something you learn in a classroom; it is something that bubbles up when you give yourself the right kind of space. I am here to help you get off the page and into your own rhythm, whether that is through a walk or a quiet afternoon with a pen.
