Lekha Workshops
At Lekha, we believe in nurturing writing as a way of remembering, recording, and reclaiming, especially among communities that have been less written about or written by. Our workshops create space for both emerging and established writers to grow their craft, reflect on their practice, and connect with like-minded storytellers. Whether you're just starting out or deep in the work, these sessions are a place to think, write, and build together.
From Feeling to Form: Shaping Personal Experience into Essays with Lekey Leidecker
The From Feeling to Form workshop, held on July 20th, 2025, was an online workshop designed to explore the journey of transforming personal experience into a written essay. Led by Tibetan writer Lekey Leidecker, the workshop guided participants through the intimate process of translating emotions, memories, and embodied experiences into a coherent narrative that can be shared with others.
As a Himalayan writer, Lekey’s practice embodies a voice that is too often overlooked in the wider literary landscape. At Lekha, we believe that writing workshops are not just about developing craft but also about amplifying communities whose experiences go underrepresented and undocumented. By centering a Tibetan writer’s work on identity, belonging, ancestry, and grief, From Feeling to Form highlighted the richness of Himalayan perspectives and the urgency of creating space for them in contemporary writing
