bringing poetry to the people
and the people to the present.

with analog practices + POETIC experiences

meet the poet:

Welcome, friend. I'm Jess.

welcome,friend. i'm jess.

i created The Sweet Slow as an invitation for slowing down, appreciating life, and cultivating a sense of depth and presence. i'm a believer that when we're deeply connected to our own Hearts, our intuition, our inner landscapes and our external spaces, we become small-suns, extending light, contributing to the greater whole, and leaving behind a legacy that serves generations beyond ourselves.

with an extensive background in poetry, writing, literature, and forest-therapy, i bring together all of what i love about words and nature as a doorway into the liminal, into ourselves, and into greater connection and presence.

from the deepest parts of my Heart:
thank you for being here. xox
