Letterheads

A site for two distant friends to communicate in a more mindful and longform way

A close friend of mine and I started writing letters a year or so ago, to explore topics that interested us while trying out the slightly old fashioned form of communication. Neither of us had really written any letters as an adualt and certainly not as a main means of communication. Our topics explored a lot, our thoughts on various spiritual matters, our expereinces with psychedelics and their connection to our worldview, our health and mortality. It was a good time, and the longer style of writing really helped bring out thoughts and topics in interesting ways. This changed a little though when A moved to Laos, to work over there, and had a baby! Unfortunately for us, the cost of posting letters between Laos and the UK is prohibitive, but now A is starting to find his feet I figured it was time to get some form of this going again.

By approaching communication in this way I hope that we are more mindful, and get to explore things that we wouldn't over text or voice call. We were inspired by the letters between Robert Hunter and Terrence Mckenna to try this out, and in this new form I hope we can cover some really interesting ground!
