Dear Stranger, Hello Friend

A Pen Pal Community brought to you by The Retreat Newspaper

*You must be a current subscriber to The Retreat Newspaper to receive a pen pal. The first round of Pen Pal sign up ill close on March 20, 2025. If you sign up after 3/20, you can expect to receive your pen pal in mid-April.


Starting in March, we’re excited to help you make new meaningful connections, via the magic of our first love: snail mail. Join our free pen pal cohort to get paired up with a fellow Retreat reader from our global community! Share stories, exchange ideas, and form lasting friendships through the art of handwritten notes.

For the love of letter writing and receiving, help us welcome in an old way to make new friends.
