A most enriching experience. Gouri is a wonderful teacher, and the writing exercises she gave us were great fun to do and challenging as well. Her insights and analyses were excellent. The group was an interesting one, with a rapport being established among complete strangers within a very short time. The WhatsApp group was a boon. Missing our wonderful evenings spent together from our diverse locations.
The workshop was a wonderful experience especially for beginners like me. It gives you a great place to begin, if you want to write but are struggling with how to start. A lot of basic tips and tricks and skills that can be added to your arsenal as you kick-off your writing journey. Gouri was a really great mentor, who made the sessions very interesting and interactive, and always had a kind and encouraging word for everyone.
It was a wonderful experience to be a part of such enriching workshop. The mentor was amazing and really inspired all of us to start penning our thoughts! I am glad that I could be a part of this workshop and would love to attend more such workshops !
The workshop was indeed excellent. I am glad I did this one. Her teaching is simple, techniques are great. The exercises she gave were challenging but stimulating. For those like me who love to write but are not sure how to write in a way that readers would love, this workshop is the answer.
I looked forward to the weekends of the workshop. Gouri is a mentor who guides by showing and not telling. I would recommend this workshop to everyone who has something to say – and to quote Gouri “everyone has” 🙂
It was an enriching experience left me with a set of skill set worth remembering not only to write better – but to read and listen better too!
I was hooked to attend this workshop by the brochure itself and what it had to offer in syllabus and from the mentor Gouri ma’am. When I attended the workshop I loved it. It really opened me up, made the writer in me excited. I loved sharing my writings and listening to other people’s stories. I looked forward to the next day of the workshop as well. It was so helpful and motivating. Gouri ma’am is truly so amazing, she has so much knowledge and is so humble and easy to speak to! Loved it!!! A BIG thanks to Aziz sir as well who during these corona times is so dedicated to living bridge and the silent backbone of the group. Thanks so much sir, you are such an inspiration!
I finished the Basics of Creative writing workshop in July 2020.
I have read all the books by Gouri Dange and lived each. I also follow her weekly columns. It was her easy writing, her depth of characters and the extremely relatable subjects that keep me going back.
I was hoping to get some direction for my own writing from this workshop and I was totally happy. Gouri madam is a very good teacher. In so many ways she spurs you on. Gentle but fundamental pointers showed us how to write. How to avoid cliches and just how to get better. She is approachable, empathetic and makes writing attractive.
I would strongly recommend this workshop to would like to write and write well.
Thank you.
Excellent sessions!
Highly recommended!
This is till now the best creative writing workshop I have attended. Got to learn so much!
I attended this workshop in September 2020
And in these 4days I accomplished more then I expected.
I gained confidence in my writing through the tasks. Gauri mam was excellent in her work. even though there was a connectivity problem from my end she was patient enough to read my assignments through emails and in call messages.
I gained insights after attending the workshop on creative writing. Gouri mam is a wonderful mentor.
Gauri listens to every single word you have to say. Pays your work attention and helps you at improve. For a person like me who has noone to share the work with or get suggestions from, it is a great session and ut has helped me a lot. Looking forward to write more.
The workshop opened a whole new world for me. Being introduced to the structure and form of creative writing, its discipline and its requirements was an eye-opener. The exercises were really enjoyable, as was listening to how others in the cohort attempted it.
The pace was satisfactory, as were the contents. Gouri is a great listener and gives valuable, on-point feedback.
Time permitting, I hope to enjoy the stage 2 of this workshop.
Though I knew I had a story somewhere in me, I wasn’t sure what to do with it or how to approach the whole writing process. This workshop paved that way for me by introducing me to some fundamentals of writing and creative expression. I am grateful to Gouri ma’am for this.
I had a really good experience at the Basics of Writing workshop with Gouri Dange. The process that she laid out to develop the stories will prove to be useful for a long time to come.
The other participants of the workshop were very supportive and encouraging which made the workshop very enjoyable.
Was fortunate to be part of this wonderful workshop by Gouri ma’am. We learnt important tricks like weaving fiction into the autobiographical, showing and not telling and most importantly, listening to each other’s stories. I feel that one learns so much just by actively listening to another. Would suggest this to anyone who wants to start writing or strengthen their existing skills
It was a wonderful experience learning from Gouri ma’m. This was my first ever workshop on writing. What seemed like a distant dream now feels within reach. I attended her online workshop in October 2020. Would love to attend the classroom sessions once they start. Thanks Living Bridge and Gouri Dange!
I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 days of learning. The course is nicely paced and the curriculum is enjoyable. I enjoyed learning The process behind creative writing and the tips shared by Gouri were useful. Thank you.
Was fortunate to be part of an enriching workshop by Gouri Dange ma’am. This was my first ever writing workshop with Living Bridge. It opened up a whole new world for me. The path that ma’am laid out for us taught us many knick knacks of writing. We learnt how to find our writerly voice and how a tinge of fiction can make an autobiographical more effective. In just a span of four days, we traversed through a magical world of words. Thank you Living Bridge and Gouri ma’am for this wonderful experience.
I enjoyed being a part of this cohort. Gouri is an excellent mentor. I loved the examples of her writing experience she shared. The classroom exercises were also very interesting.
My only recommendation is- if all the assignments submitted are collected, a bit more detailed feedback would help in understanding the process better.
Hey! Thank you for the recommendation. Giving detailed feedback to everyone would increase the duration of the workshop nearly three-fold (or more) or reduce the batch size in equal measure. This would then reflect in the fee of the workshop. If you are looking to get more feedback on your work then you should check out the Creative Writing Step 2 Workshop, also by Gouri Dange.
I found the workshop really interesting. I was very skeptical in the beginning as most of the people in the group were already good writers.I got involved when Gouri Mam started to explain or rather started breaking down the anatomy of writing.It was an eye-opener when she explained various approaches that can be utilized to come up with our piece of story or article.I particularly liked the way small assignments were given and we were asked to write in short duration 5-10 min,all I had to do was just write it. I remember the last day when I gave up on the assignment and suddenly wrote it just 10 min before the workshop started which came out pretty decent. Me having almost zero experience in writing also thoroughly benefited from the workshop.
The workshop really helped me find a way to put the stories in my head on paper. The sessions and exercises designed by Ms Gouri Dange have given me tools with which I can now break down the process of creative writing into steps for ideating, thinking and writing.
words dont come easy, as I am still reeling under the influence of the workshop and Gauri maam’s impeccable artistry in the way, she held our hands and led us into the romantic world of writing. Being an avid reader, I found a way to vent my feelings after losing my mother, my strength and love in May 2020.. suddenly..
This is the first creative writing workshop I’ve attended and it was a memorable experience. Gouri Dange ma’am is an intuitive mentor who explains basic concepts like ‘show, don’t tell’ with professional ease. She does this in an encouraging, easygoing , non-judgemental manner, skillfully bringing out the best in you.
I loved d mentor and the course!! What a wonderful way to spend the lock down.
I was so glad to be able to attend the creative writing workshop by Gouri Dange. It was wonderful to be thrown into writing things in the very first session. Through the 4 workshop days, I learnt a lot about nuance, style and creative inspiration. Even had the chance to revisit some key basics that I often forget to include while writing. All in all, a lovely, refreshing dive into the structure, rigor and art of writing creatively. Looking forward to involving myself more deeply.
It was a fantabulous learning experience with such a great mentor. She taught in every possible way to help us step forward in our career. The other learners were quite engaging and helpful which added more interest to learning. Living bridge organized this workshop really well according to our convenience.
The workshop was packed with knowledge of each and every aspect of good writing. Its been about 3 days that I completed the workshop, and I realised how conscious I have become of the techniques of telling a story to make it universal. Gauri mam is passionate about her craft and she tries to disseminate to the participants in her class, and in a way that in itself feels like story telling. I strongly recommend this workshop to anyone who always thought writing is the easiest and most satisfying way of expression oneself.
This workshop has been such an enjoyable experience
! I cant thank Gauri Dange enough for being so generous and willing to share her vast knowledge so freely and willingly. I particularly loved her crisp no-nonsense style of taking us through the steps of writing. It was indeed very very rewarding to be a part of her class and learn from her experience. Thank you!
A huge shout out to the team at Living Bridge for keeping this workshop so tight and controlled- it was a perfect recipe for shared learning and that too in such an enjoyable and amicable environment. Thank you for that
And, this review would be incomplete without acknowledging the co-learners at the workshop. The ease with which we could share and ideate collectively really really made this space a truly judgement- free experience. Thank you each one of you!
For anyone interested in learning the steps in creative writing and opening their mind to that possibility, this is a great place to start!
This workshop conducted by Gouri Ma’am , has definitely been the best step towards improving my writing and I would suggest anyone who is beginner in writing or even just want to understand aspects of writing , must go ahead with this workshop.
Informative about the critical aspects of writing like writing from memory, story fictionalization , dialogue formation as well as understanding Genre with simple yet effective tasks to practice inbuilt in workshop helps concretizing of learnt concepts.
Also, section moves with a very comfortable pace with progressive concepts , never becoming heavy or hard to grasp which helps all participants to be indulged without being leftout or overwhelmed.
Again, I would finish off with a big thumbs up and recommend it to everyone even the ones skeptical about writing in first place, this workshop will make you fall love with writing even if you happen not to be a fan.
I’m grateful to Living Bridge for having accepted me to the Creative Writing Workshop, as I’m from outside India, from Portugal, Europe.
The workshop gave me a chance to have a glimpse of India’s culture provided by the reading of texts written by my colleagues and the beautiful texts of Gouri Dange, our mentor. Acquiring knowledge about other cultures is important when trying to understand each other in this troubled and yet wonderfully diversified world.
Hopefully, my articles will be better written, paying attention to structure, setting, different points of view, the right pace (paces), etc.
Workshop well structured, conducted very knowledgeably, in a friendly atmosphere.
In the past, I attended 3- 4 workshops on Creative Writing but none could get me out of the stalemate of not being able to write a book. However, Gouri Ma’am’s sessions acted like magic, and the successive coordinated exercises that we did in the classes and as homework were an entire sequence of steps towards writing a large piece of fiction/non-fiction and I am already on my way towards writing my first book and subsequently more, the frameworks of which I hashed out during the course. Very strongly recommend the sessions and the mentor. Thanks a ton to Living Bridge for organizing such high quality workshops that have within a short while made me versed in diverse topics.
The workshop stimulates the deep desire to write and streamlines the idea to flow in required direction with adrenalin s=rush to complete the assignments in time.
I am a retired Company Senior Executive. I have retired recently. Post retirement I am keen to develop & nurture few of my hobbies , writing is one of them. I had joined the workshop to learn the basic concept of Creative writing. And I must admit I have not only learned but also enjoyed the Workshop immensely. Our Mentor Mrs Gouri Dange was excellent. Also interacting with other participants was a great learning experience. I would like to thank LIving Bridge for this wonderful initiative and would definitely like to remain in close touch with the Living Bridge, Please include my name in your active mailing list and share anything that you find Educative as well as Interesting . Best Wishes & Regards. – Bireswar Mitra.
Interesting session, I could improve my skills. Various knowledge gaps plugged.
Thank the day my partner chanced upon Living Bridge on Facebook and showed it to me and I have been hooked since! This was the first workshop I attended and it changed my life!
Loved every exercise given to us by the mentor and the whole experience. Never thought a 4 days workshop can be so informative and enlightening. Thank you team! 🙏 I definitely recommend this to all aspiring writers.
The workshop was terrific and great fun for the novice as well as
the people already into creative writing.
Ms.Dange has a wonderful way of bringing out the writer in you.
Her writing workshop is an unforgettable experience, she was
able to keep us hooked for 4 days.
I have always been an overthinker. But I always struggled to express my thoughts in words. This workshop as if opened that door inside my head and heart, pushing me to pen down my thoughts. I never knew that I could write creative things beyond all the scientific write ups. Our mentor, Gauri Dange Jii, has been very supportive helping us fledge out our inner thoughts by sharing tools, techniques, and experiences from her self journey. The amazing community that was created during the workshop continue to support each other. My experience has been over the top as a result of all three – Living Bridge’s warm cozy ambience – even virtually, our mentor’s efforts, our dedicated learners’ helping each other to grow – coming together packed up in one workshop. It has been a life changing experience to me and I can’t wait to explore my own self travelling through the different roads of Living Bridge.
Its a great introductory workshop on creative writing and the creative process that goes behind creative and imaginative work. I thought it really made me think about the emotions and the visuals that my characters engender. I have always written in the flow without much of an outline or plan. This workshop really made me think about how to organize those thoughts. Gauri ma’am is very patient and encouraging of us novice writers. I wish living bridge starts an online group for young writers. Lovely workshop. Its impressive how effectively 4 days are used.
There is no dout that this will be a good class for those who are just starting to write a fiction.Gauri mam presents very well.It was a good experience.
It seems that there is a writer within each one of us. But only a workshop like this one can culminate into the epiphany!
This workshop taught me to tap into those recesses of thinking that would actually lead me to write before it delved into the methods and manners of the art. In fact, the entire approach is systematic and sequential, which makes the learning process wholesome and engaging. To say the least, it leaves me with the right questions, finding the answers to which will be the journey forward.
Such a wonderful experience was possible only under the tutelage of Gouri Maam. The lucidity of her explanations and her insight into the art form are complementary and commendable. She inspires while she teaches.
I enjoyed the workshop very much. It was quite seamless in the way we worked through the four days. It was most enjoyable and Gouri Dange was a wonderful mentor.
Many thanks.
It had been a great experience!
A very non judgemental attitude of the mentor is a real source of encouragement!!
Thanks 🙏
