In the fast-paced climate of the 21st Century there's nothing quite like receiving a well-crafted letter; knowing somebody has taken the time to connect with you. Correspondence can be a way of letting others know you're thinking of them but they can also be an effective way of documenting your life and exploring your own interior world. This short course explores approaches to writing engaging and inspiring correspondence, to friends, family or even to yourself.
