The Writers' Camp at Khandala was an overnite one, held on 23rd and 24th of May. Everyone enjoyed it. Here is the feedback from some of the participants.

What I liked
This workshop was an eye opener of sorts for me. It has opened my mind to a whole lot of aspects about writing. I am now motivated to continue writing regularly about everything that comes to my mind. It sure de-stressed me over the last 2 days and I didn't even once think of office.
What was not good.
It was a little uncomfortable balancing on the chairs and writing. Maybe next time we could have tables or sit on the floor.
Any suggestions?
None as of now. Yes, you must reach out to more people using mails and social networking sites. Also approach corporates. It is an amazing workshop and people should use it at least once. I would like to attend future workshops. Please keep me informed as I would also like to forward it to my friends.

I liked the interactive sessions being taken. I understood where I stand in the field of creative writing. I'll start to learn to be a voracious reader. Definitely, I would like to come for the next session, where I want to see myself as an improved writer, better than what I am now.
I suggest that the workshop should be of 1 day, in the city.

Workshop was well organised. There were a lot of group activities which brought the best among the participants. All participants were openminded and sharing their knowledge and helping others. I liked this workshop. This workshop taught us essential aspects of creative writing through various games and fun activities. A great workshop. Thanks lot to Ms. Patricia. I would like to attend future workshops. It's worth attending this workshop.

What I liked about the workshop:
This being my first experience, (of this kind) I must admit, I came with a few apprehensions. But, I can go away now happy and contented and completely satisfied (burp!)
Thank you, Patricia for an enriching & invigorating two days, on this my first few steps that I am taking along this creative journey.
The exercises were all useful and the sheer number of them, ensured that interest levels did not dip & instead we were always left asking for more. Please don't reduce the pace, the content, or the vastness of experiences that you generated. I enjoyed myself, thank you again!
I would like to attend any future workshops you organise. Kindly let me know. I would also like to join the writing club.

I'll try to summarize my experience at the workshop in three short words. 'I LOVED IT'
It was truly a beautiful learning experience where I came to know more about myself and other like-minded individuals.
The teacher was friendly, non-authoritative and seemed to take real pleasure in doing her job of training people to become better at what they love to do (writing).
What more could one ask for when one has a wonderful teacher, eager-to-learn students and a gorgeous environment.
I heartily thank you, Mam.
P.S. It was a memorable workshop.
