In a world increasingly shaped by screens and instant messages\, this gathering invites you to slow down\, put pen to paper\, and create something meaningful with your own hands. Customise and decorate your own postcard and envelope\, then write to a best friend\, a neighbour\, a family member\, or even someone across the globe.\n\nThe idea is simple: all you have to do is write and Lifafa club will take care of mailing it for you.\n\nWhether you’re an experienced letter writer or haven’t sent a postcard in years\, this workshop is for everyone. You are free to design your postcard and envelope however you like\, making each piece a personal expression of creativity and care. And if you’re unsure what to write\, don’t worry. As long as you have an address\, the words often find their way onto the page.\n\nTake this opportunity to disconnect from the digital world and create something tangible\, something that can be held\, treasured\, and revisited. Share a thoughtful note with someone you love\, whether they’re across continents or sitting right beside you. Sometimes\, the most meaningful connections are made through the things we take the time to write.\n\nYou don’t need to bring anything as all materials will be provided.\nAbout Lifafa Mail Club\nLifafa Mail Club is a community-driven initiative dedicated to reviving the art of handwritten correspondence. Each season\, subscribers receive thoughtfully curated handwritten letters\, a zine\, and artful surprises delivered through the post to mail enthusiasts around the world.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”This is a ticketed event.
