The Slow & Steady Membership!
Welcome to Generosity of Spirit, a gentle community for YOU. We find pockets of time for slow & gentle living, books, writing, journaling & life affirming work. You are so welcome here in our cosy space, grab a cuppa & stay a while... 🐢🙏📚☕💌
Introducing … my Slow & Steady Membership!
Emily's Generosity of Spirit is such a beautiful online space, filled with inspiring and encouraging reflections on slow and gentle living. It's a real joy to read, and Emily writes so beautifully. I always really look forward to her next new post. Clementine Barton Journal of Soulful Reflections
A cosy and gentle space to gather together, learn from and inspire one another. Go deeper into Slow & Gentle Living and what it can mean for you.
Slow & Steady will be a living, breathing space and as such the content will change and evolve as we move through the year.
Slow & Steady will offer 12 exclusive letters for members moving through each month of 2025. The membership is an extension of my free offerings, a deeper and more personal dive into slow and gentle living, creative work and my own life and experiences.
I love writing so much, it brings me so much joy, and publishing here on Substack has been so wonderful. I love connecting with you all - sharing my slow and gentle living philosophy, indulging in plenty of book chat, and insights into creative living. I am really proud of our community, and so my free content will not change at all.
Through my new membership though, I hope to create a safe space in which we can get to know each other more. Within Slow & Steady I want to go even deeper - I will share more about my own life, creative projects, and take you with me as I continue to create a life inspired by slow and gentle living.
I do hope you will consider joining Slow & Steady - I would be over the moon to welcome you!
Hi - I’m Emily !
“Always enjoyable to read your Slow Sunday Letters ... like having a big sister sharing her life that comforts me. You're like a warm cuppa” - Sekar
Hello, I’m Emily. I live in a small home in Norwich, Norfolk.
I live and work part time in the city. I am an introvert and a lover of words.
I love being at home and embracing a slow and gentle way of life. I love writing and journaling. I have recently rekindled my love of reading and have been exploring all sorts of genres this year.
I have been vegan for about five years, and I love cooking and food! One of my favourite places in the world is my kitchen, I am never happier than when I am at home in my kitchen, apron on - cooking. I think about food all the time, and I love meal planning and exploring different recipes.
I live with anxiety, and so I adopt various methods of self care in order to create a safe and gentle way of life. It has taken me years to embrace my anxiety, and what it means for me. I believe my anxiety has given me the opportunity to learn about my unique and authentic self, and invited me to take the time to nourish my spirit in order to live with peace in my heart.
Why Generosity of Spirit?
Emily has created a lovely safe space on Substack where she shares her Sunday notes on slow and gentle living. Her voice notes are delightful and after listening to them I feel grounded and ready to tackle the day with more intention. ✨ musings by mika
Generosity of Spirit is the openness and willingness to share our ‘gifts’ , our ‘spirit’ (both emotional and material) freely with others .
We all feel the need to slow down sometimes, but no matter how hard we try sometimes it can feel so hard up against the rush and pressure of modern life. I want to help you explore this philosophy as part of a community.
Slow & Gentle Living has transformed nearly every aspect of my life. I live with anxiety and have struggled with confidence. Now, with a gentle and understanding approach, I am more productive and motivated than ever before, but I’m also kinder to myself. I feel closer to my authentic self, and I have a deeper sense of gratitude for this wonderful life and the many tiny simple moments of joy all around. Most importantly for me, I invite peace and calm in, and I feel a sense of contentment that wraps me up in loving and encouraging arms.
Slow Living can change your life for the better, and it is my sincere wish to introduce this kind and gentle philosophy to as many people as I can.
What can you expect as a PAID member of Slow & Steady …
"Generosity of Spirit" is a true Substack gem—thoughtful, heartwarming, and a gentle guide to a more intentional life. Emily invites you to slow down, find gratitude in simple moments, and reconnect with what truly matters. A refreshing read in a fast-paced world! Rebecca Lötscher Coffee with a Hobby Potter
So, what does the Slow & Steady membership include?
If you would like to join Slow & Steady, for £3.50 a month (or £35 a year), this is a sample of what you can look forward to
You will receive a dedicated members post on the first Wednesday of each month.
In my exclusive monthly letters to Slow & Steady members, I will share personal insights and behind the scenes on how I live my slow and gentle life. Each letter will be framed around a word of the month, and will be a little treasure trove of content to help guide us through the seasons and year.
Each month could include a mixture of :
Personal insights - audio notes, videos, diary style
Vegan recipes and slow cooking inspiration
Exploring creativity - creative projects, activities, bonus worksheets
Journaling practice - guidance and prompts
Slow & Gentle Living Inspiration
Seasonal Resets - Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn
They will reflect me, and what my life and creative working life looks like, and feels like in the moment. They will offer a deeper and more practical look at the realities of slow living, and a behind the scenes look at my creative projects. I will also include everything I’ve been enjoying, reading, and been inspired by.
You will also get access to an exclusive members Journal Chat space hosted here on Substack.
I want to create a gentle space, where we can get to know each other better, and I felt a live chat space would work so well. I would love this space to be a source of inspiration- a place you can visit, find your people, and simply take up space, be you, and connect with others.
I will provide live journal prompts and guidance periodically throughout the month. My hope is this chat will be very gentle space you can visit for some calm, time for you and a little inspiration as a starting off point for your journaling or writing.
You will be very welcome to share your journaling, thoughts, musings or anything that has inspired you too, but there is no pressure. I’ll host throughout the month and hopefully it will become a beautiful space of community, inspiration and resources for your personal and creative writing.
