The Sunday Letter Project is a weekly invitation to balance. To recalibrate, reconnect, and return home.We believe that letter-writing is the perfect antidote to this generation’s dependence on technology - it allows you to slip back into a time where the world felt less frantic and more spacious.
By signing up for the project, you will be invited to take a pledge: a pledge to take a pocket of time each Sunday and dedicate it to yourself and your loved ones. To write, to ponder, to savour. To regenerate a practice that has connected humans for generations and is starting to be lost. We believe letter writing is a unique way that we can find our way home as humans, and we invite you to join us.
We hope that you will be able to keep your promise to yourself, and fall in love with the ritual of letter writing. Choosing an ink, adding in stickers or photographs, picking out an envelope. The way that handwriting holds emotion and feeling within its distinctive lines. The way it freezes time and provides a portal into a moment that can never otherwise be revisited. The enormous, unique feeling of delight when you spot an envelope on your doormat with scrawled ink and know that someone has set aside that time, thought, and energy just for you.
A letter is the exact opposite of how we usually communicate now. In a world of text and email, people expect communication to be instant, casual, and constant. I think so many of us are tired of this way of being and are ready to step back into a gentle rhythm of meaningful, thoughtful correspondence. If that is you, please accept our invitation, and begin to write your way home.
