Fall '26: Touch The Earth

The inaugural season begins with Touch the Earth, an exchange considering the rituals that bring us closer to the changing season around us.

Those taking part will receive two pieces of correspondence over the course of the season.

The first arrives from Dear Friend, enclosing the seasonal writing prompt and a small collection of inclusions made and gathered for fall. You’ll be invited to respond by hand and return your letter to us.

Later in the season, your letter will be sent anonymously to another person in the exchange, and a letter written by a fellow correspondent will make its way to you.

For our first season, we are keeping the registry intentionally small: 100 correspondents, allowing the exchange to grow gradually and remain at a human scale. Registration will close on September 14, or earlier if the season reaches capacity.
