Letters to Strangers: A Pen Pal Mixer

An evening of letters, connection, and serendipity.

Letters from a Better Place invites you to our event, Letters to Strangers: A Pen Pal Mixer, where strangers meet not through small talk, but through the intimacy of handwritten words. Come with an open heart, leave with a pen pal. 

This isn't just about writing letters. It's about creating memories. Through lighthearted icebreakers and guided prompts, you'll discover that writing to someone you don't know can feel like writing to yourself. You'll laugh, reflect, and find pieces of your own story in someone else's words.

What to expect:

• Your personal letter-writing kit
• A beverage
• A cozy icebreaker to loosen the nerves
• Guided letter-writing prompts that spark honesty and curiosity
• A pen-pal exchange, write to a stranger and receive a letter back
• A closing ritual that leaves you with a community that will always hold space for you.

By the end of the evening, you won't just carry a letter home, you'll also carry the warmth of new friendships, a pocket of reflection, cute keepsakes and the joy of connection, all found in the cozy reading room of Kitaabghar.
