"Gifting is an art of intention, not accumulation. Each gift is a soft beckoning of love, not a shout of excess." — Pastor Angie


SOULjourners,


In our journey toward intentional living, gift-giving may sometimes seem counterintuitive to minimalist practices. Yet, when approached with mindfulness, it becomes an opportunity for legacy + soul nourishment.


Drawing wisdom from Christine Platt's Afrominimalist philosophy and our spiritual understanding of stewardship, let's get cooking with a soulful "recipe" about how gifting can become a sacred art of connection rather than consumption.


Ingredients for Soulful Minimalist Gifting


  • A cup of intention

  • Tablespoons of legacy significance

  • A pinch of practicality

  • A dash of embodied experience

  • A sprinkle of childlike joy

  • Generous amounts of love


Intention:


Begin by reflecting deeply on the heart qualities of your recipient. What brings them genuine joy? What aligns with their values?


Release commercial pressures + societal expectations.


If you opt for physical gifts, consider consumable gifts that align with daily rituals:


  • Morning meditation - favorite beverage

  • Evening relaxation - shower steamer or bath salts

  • Daily aroma grounding - aromatherapy oils or a candle


Legacy Significance:


For something lasting, what gift will spark meaningful conversations? What gift might become a cherished heirloom or expand a beloved tradition?


Practicality:


Think about seasonal usefulness to ensure your gift serves a purpose in the recipient's life.


Consider the recipient's daily life + habits.


Embodied Experience:


Gift moments, not just things—event tickets, a workshop, or a planned day of adventure can create lasting memories without adding clutter.


Childlike Joy:


How will you infuse your gift with an element of playful delight?



Let love, like a ribbon, tie a gift tag or heartfelt note to the gift.


May each gift you offer yourself or another be a sacred exchange of artistic peace + love.


Until next time,


Gift from your soul.
