Modern life is overstimulating our nervous systems, making us stressed, unhappy and confused. Millpond is a snail-mail subscription service that aims to be part of the solution.
Each month you receive a hand addressed envelope and letter, as well as carefully curated materials concerning a particular theme of importance to wellbeing - Uncertainty for example, as well as Joy, Control, Curiosity and more.
In addition to the letter, contents include:
- an Invitation to Ponder - a series of on-theme questions to consider
- an Invitation to Wonder - quotations reflecting diverse and inspirational thinking related to the theme
- an original print
- one or more art postcards
- a selection from poems, wellbeing tools, seed packets and recipes
We describe the contents of published issues in the ORDER section of this site.
Through Millpond, we invite you to reflect, play, create and connect in ways that will develop your emotional and relational muscles.
Life passes quickly. Millpond will help slow it down.
