Welcome to Soft Sacred Slow
A digital ministry for female Christian creatives growing in faith, purpose, and creativity
Welcome, fellow Cultivator! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to this gentle corner of the internet. Soft Sacred Slow is a digital ministry created for female Christian creatives seeking to build intentional, sustainable lives, businesses, and ministries that honor both their faith and their unique design.
This isn’t a space of hustle culture or productivity pressure. Instead, it’s a journey of embracing a different approach to creativity and platform building—one that feels aligned with who God created us to be.
Why a Garden?
As I sought a way to organize the various topics we’ll explore together, I was drawn to the creation account in Genesis. God’s intentional, ordered creation—culminating in rest—provides a beautiful framework for our own creative lives.
This led to the concept of Soft Sacred Slow as a garden with distinct spaces, each representing different aspects of our creative journey. Just as a garden requires cultivation, patience, and attention to seasons, so too does our creative work and ministry.
Our Garden Map
The Soft Sacred Slow Garden is organized into seven spaces inspired by the days of creation in Genesis. Each area offers different resources and reflections for your creative journey. Just as God created with intention, order, and rest, we too can approach our creative lives with the same divine wisdom.
Exploring the Garden Spaces
The Light Garden
Where we explore vision, purpose, and clarity in our creative calling. Here you’ll find posts about discovering your unique ministry, finding clarity in your creative journey, and recognizing divine inspiration. “Let there be light” becomes our invitation to seek God’s illumination in our work.
The Waters Retreat
Where we nurture our inner lives and spiritual formation as creatives. This space is dedicated to the emotional aspects of creativity, creating healthy boundaries, and integrating faith authentically in our work. Just as God separated the waters, we learn to create sacred space amidst the chaos.
The Fruitful Fields
Where ideas bear fruit and creativity becomes productive without becoming depleting. Here we explore systems, methods, and approaches that help us create consistently while honoring our unique design. As God made the land produce vegetation, we learn to cultivate content that nourishes others.
The Luminaries Lookout
Where we discover how to share our work with wisdom and intentionality. This space addresses visibility, platform building from a ministry perspective, and how to navigate seasons of creation. Like the sun, moon, and stars, we learn to shine in ways that mark seasons and bring light to others.
The Living Waters
Where we build community and foster meaningful connections. This area focuses on authentic community building, collaboration, and finding freedom in creative expression. As God filled the waters and sky with living creatures, we explore how to create vibrant, life-giving communities.
The Stewardship Sanctuary
Where we learn to manage our creative gifts with wisdom and responsibility. Here we address the practical aspects of creative business, serving others through our work, and creating with eternal impact in mind. Just as God entrusted creation to humans, we embrace our role as stewards of our gifts.
The Sabbath Grove
Where we embrace rest as essential to creativity. This sacred space reminds us that pause, reflection, and celebration are not optional extras but core to the creative process. Following God’s example of rest, we discover that our creative rhythm requires both productivity and pause.
My Role as Your Guide
I’m not an expert with all the answers, but rather a fellow cultivator who’s a few steps ahead in certain areas of the journey. Soft Sacred Slow is my learning journal—a place where I share what I’m discovering about building a creative life and ministry that honors both God’s design and my unique personality.
As I learn and grow, I share these insights with you, inviting you to join me in cultivating a creative life that feels:
Soft: Honoring your unique design and embracing feminine energy
Sacred: Integrating your faith authentically in your creative work
Slow: Building sustainable rhythms that prevent burnout and foster joy
