Letters of Hope is a film led, letter writing workshop on eco anxiety held with tenderness and honesty, without forcing optimism.

In this edition, we move from the fragile river systems of the Gori Basin, to the marine refuge of the Gulf of Kutch, and into the underwater world of the Andaman Sea. You’ll write guided letters to the self, to water and the living world, and to the future, then close with an anonymous exchange so you leave held by someone else’s courage.

What We’ll Do Together

Watch 3 short films, each followed by guided reflection to help you notice what lands in you emotionally, physically and quietly

A series of guided letters: to the self, to water and the living world, and to the future you’re still choosing

An anonymous letter exchange to close, so you leave held by someone else’s courage, and carrying a small, steady way to keep going
