The Writer's Room is Kyo Spaces’ first City Retreat and promises to blend together the solitude & replenishment of a traditional retreat - think yoga mornings, meditation, long writing sessions and cosy dinners - with the inspiration a historic city provides. Using Calcutta, a city famed for its literary and artistic offerings, as a backdrop, the retreat aims to harness its energy and bring it to the daily writing workshops with Karuna, who's been a resident of the city and loved and explored it deeply, for almost a decade.

She credits moving to Calcutta as being the inspiration behind her finally writing her books. Though participants will for the most part be cocooned in the beautiful Glenburn Penthouse, one of India's most exclusive properties, we will also be venturing out, to encounter the sights, sounds, tastes, and most importantly, stories of the city. The ideal is to strike a balance between the buzz of the metropolis as muse, and the quietude of the perfect escape from it, in order to each find our own unique literary voice and harness it.

Retreat Highlights:

• 3 nights stay at The Glenburn Penthouse

• 4 writing workshops with Karuna 

• 3 morning yoga sessions

• Daily curated meals

• Bengal-to-Table tasting menu dinner at Sienna, Calcutta

• City Exploration with Karuna
