Is that a yak?

For sure. Yaks love a good Q&A.

So how does this work?

Subscribers receive, in the mail, three hand-written letters a year. They are addressed directly to them, from The World, and feature simple, hand-drawn art.

They will also receive a letter via email once a month, one that is shared with the wider community.

Seriously? In these times? Spend my money on this?

Yes, these times are begging for more delight and love.

Also. Re-attuning to a wider story is vital, ground-level work in restoring our relationships with life. Not to scold or pressure you, but to inspire you. To fill you with perspective. To stop you in your tracks with wonder. We believe that feeling connected to the world around you matters. For the trajectory of everything, perhaps.

Invitations to experience your days as interconnected moments of impossible care and beauty are EVERYWHERE. If you aren’t in the habit of noticing them, we’d really like to provide a jump start.

**If finances are a barrier to joining, contact us. We are always open to a creative barter or family discount. (Everyone is family to The World, after all.)

Can I order these as a gift for someone else?

Absolutely. That’s how this project originally started: people ordering for others, and mysterious letters showing up in mailboxes.

How about a custom order?

Yes! You and your friends all turning 40 this year? A group of graduates ripe for a wider perspective? A bridal party? Your family or your team at work needing a little inspiration or love? Custom and group orders available, message us to inquire.

Is this AI?

Hahahaha. Uh, this is the opposite of AI.

Imagine for a moment that humans had something to gain by hearing LESS from themselves over and over on remix. Here, we're interested in finding other kinds of teachers and ways of knowing. We’re trying to listen to the kelp. The condors. That tree right outside the window, whose wisdom could save us. 

Maybe AI could write this, but that would be missing the point. Want proof? Go try for yourself. Sit somewhere in nature for a while. Ask the world (or some beetle, or any non-human you meet there) what they might be willing to share with you. Listen for a response in your body. Our guess is that what you'll find is the opposite of Artificial. 

But really. Who is The World?

We’re all The World, mate.

We invite you to lean into the anonymity that started this project. It’s kinda magical.

But we know, these are skeptical times. If a connection to a human is a deal breaker for you, a public-facing part of the team can be found here.
