Analog Rest Mail Club ✉️
Analog Rest Mail Club ✉️
A quarterly snail mail club filled with analog joy — mini zines, poems, writing prompts, art, and tiny rest rituals delivered straight to your mailbox.
Rest is something I have been struggling with for years. I realized recently that I didn’t actually know what rest truly was. Sure, I knew things like laying down or taking a nap counted. But I didn’t know they weren’t the only types of rest. Now, I rest by making art & doodling. By enjoying a walk on a nice day. By reading and writing.
Play is rest. Joy is rest.
I decided to create Analog Rest Mail Club for a few reasons. One, a friend sent me snail mail and it was such a nice thing to find in my mailbox. I knew I wanted to gift that feeling to others. And two, I may know what rest is now, but I’m terrible at actually doing it. This club will help me hold myself accountable, and maybe it will do the same for you!
If you join after January 15 / April 15 / July 15 / October 15, your subscription will begin with the next quarter’s mail (plus that quarter’s digital goodies).
What You Can Expect
You’ll get one mailed envelope each quarter, plus two digital rest offerings in the months you don’t receive physical mail.
I wanted to be realistic about this. Most snail mail clubs are monthly, but I know I don’t have the capacity to do it that quickly right now. I am in awe of the artists who produce such beautiful work with such quick turnaround. In order to offer you something of value and to allow myself to enjoy this process in a restful way, this will be a quarterly mail club. Every 3 months you can expect a new letter in your mailbox from me!
Here’s everything you’ll find tucked inside your envelope each quarter…
-
I am a poet first & foremost, so expect a new poem each quarter, usually surrounding the current theme. This will be a poem that I write just for you, my Analogers!
-
Each quarter you will find a new mini zine in the envelope! A mini zine is an 8-page folded treasure trove. Expect art, thoughts, ideas, tips, recommendations, and more!
-
I’m excited to write to you all! I’ll share personal things, what I’m trying, how I’m resting…whatever is on my mind. I hope you will enjoy reading them!
-
These are invitations to do small tasks that are restorative. They’ll be simple like finding a moment in your day to take 3 deep breaths or using your favorite mug all week even if it’s just to drink water.
-
Each quarter you’ll also receive a writing prompt! You can use it as a jumping off point to write a poem, a story, a journal entry, or maybe a letter to a friend!
-
Each quarter you’ll find other goodies stuffed in the envelope too! Those can include but are not limited to:
Stickers
Coloring pages
Word Searches
Challenges
Post Cards
Bookmarks
Prints
If you join after January 15 / April 15 / July 15 / October 15, your subscription will begin with the next quarter’s mail (plus that quarter’s digital goodies).
What You’ll Receive Each Month
Month 1 (end of the month):
📪 Your envelope is headed to your mailbox — includes the themed snail mail including things like: mini-zine, your letter, sticker(s), poem, etc.
Month 2:
💌 A small digital rest offering (a poem, printable coloring page, zentangle, etc.) arrives in your inbox.
Month 3:
💌 Another small digital rest offering arrives in your inbox.
→ Then the next quarter’s cycle begins
How Your Subscription Works
Analog Rest Mail Club is open year-round!
If you subscribe before the 15th of the first month of a quarter (Jan 15, Apr 15, Jul 15, Oct 15), you’ll receive that quarter’s themed mail at the end of the month.
If you subscribe after the 15th, your membership will begin with the next quarter’s theme and digital rest goodies.
This keeps the workflow gentle for me and extra clear for you + it ensures every issue you receive is intentional in its curation.

Both! The main purpose is for this to be a physical snail-mail club. An envelope arrives in your actual mailbox every quarter.
BUT you’ll also receive 2 digital rest offerings via email in the other months of the quarter. Think: printable coloring pages, a poem, QR code to song or book lists I curate.I also created a member site where you’ll find the letter & digital rest offering archives, plus other fun things like playlists. This is so that we can stay connected in the interim!

Your envelope will be standard letter size, up to 1 oz. Okay, I’ll try to keep it at 1 oz max for postage sake lol, I just want to send you sooooo much! Don’t worry, all the goodies fit neatly inside it.
