The Slow Shelf

The Slow Shelf is a free, unhurried space for people who are learning to live beautifully with loss.

You’ll receive monthly newsletters with new episodes, book recommendations and beautiful reflections on life & loss. 

What you’ll receive

When you sign up, you’ll get:

🎙️ The Grief Magic podcast,  a weekly companion 

Each week I release a new episode exploring grief, creativity, memory, and the art of living slowly. Some episodes are solo reflections, some are conversations. All of them are made with care.

As a subscriber, I’ll always let you know when something new is out and occasionally I’ll invite you to send in questions for episodes I record just for you.

📖 A slow shelf on the Fable app

This is less a book club and more a shared reading life. On Fable, you can see what I’m currently reading, what’s on my shelf, and what I’ve loved. Members can post what they’re reading too – a quiet, low-pressure way to feel accompanied in the books that are holding you right now.

🧵 Seasonal reflections & rituals
Soft prompts, practices and ideas to help you stay connected to what matters.

Who this is for

This space might feel like home if you:

  • move through the world in a sensitive or non-linear way

  • want companionship without pressure or fixing

  • are curious about creativity, ritual or storytelling as part of grief

  • are looking for something slower and more spacious

About Yarrow

I’m Yarrow, a writer, grief companion and tarot reader living on the east coast of Scotland.

Through Grief Magic I create gentle spaces where loss can be explored with imagination, creativity, and care. I host the Grief Magic podcast, host the Soft Grief Club and offer handcrafted tarot readings for people who want something personal and quiet to return to.

I came to this work through my own losses and through discovering that beauty and creativity aren’t rewards you earn after grief ends, they’re the practice itself.
