A refreshing spiritual community built for creatives
The Garden is all encouraging and celebrating your unique God-given genius. Whether you’re building a business or simply exploring your future, you’ll discover new paradigms of thinking, refreshing theology and power from the Holy Spirit to outwork your purpose.
Is the Garden for you?
Are you…
- A Christian creative looking for an authentic community that sees and recognises your calling and encourages you to build your creative dream
- Ready to stop procrastinating, being limited by fear and start putting yourself out into the world
- Feeling called to make an impact outside of the four walls of the church
- Hungry for challenge, growth and practical wisdom from other creatives
- Creating a business, brand or ministry (small, big and everything in-between)
- Feeling frustrated that other Christians don’t get you or your gift
Then most likely you will be a good fit for The Garden.
What creatives are saying
“Sats, with patience and knowledge and humour, guided me towards my goals. He has great insight, often noticing things about me that I hadn’t noticed myself. Highly recommended.”

“Yo bro, I just have to say thank you. I finally got the ball rolling. I was dragging my feet and life woke me up 😂 I’ve launched the website, have a new logo, and have merch set up. Also working on the course. Idk everything just clicked for me in my head. What I wanted the brand to look like, from the logo to the fashion, it just clicked. Thank you for helping me find that.”

Each week you'll get access to...
Spiritual input from the Digital Rabbi. Life is so much more than just practicals. We’ll be deep diving into the internal shifts in your thinking that are required to move you into your future. We’ll talk about theology, scripture and how to move with the Holy Spirit.
Weekly masterclasses and Q&As. Ask me anything you need to know about building your future. This might be practical things like content creation, sales, email lists, marketing funnels etc or developing a theology for your creativity. We’ll adjust the content in real time to your needs and frustrations. These are 60 minute Zoom calls which will also be recorded for you.
Group coaching. You’ll be in an energetic environment with cutting edge Christian creatives across Europe. Not only will you benefit from hearing stories and struggles that validate your own experience but you’ll build significant relationships that will open up future collaboration and networking opportunities.
Built in accountability. The group element of this programme is designed with healthy peer pressure in mind that makes sure you will move from daydreaming to done.
Curated resources. We live in a world with more information in it than is often helpful. I’ll signpost you to the best creative thinkers and equippers (think podcasts, articles, books and guides) to help you reach your goals.
The creative community I wish I had ten years ago...
I spent much of my 20s being immersed in traditional ministry and ended up leading a church. I’m so grateful for that journey and feel very much called to it but I can also see that there was another calling on my life as a creative that was often neglected.
In the last few years, I’ve spent a lot more time cultivating relationships with other creatives and making significant moves on my own dreams. Things like releasing an album, coaching other creatives and starting a podcast were always on my heart but just never quite happened. And then it did…!
I see The Garden as an opportunity to give to creatives outside of my local church and create something that I wish I had a long time ago. Join us every Wednesday at 12pm (UK time) on Zoom.
Cheering you on,
Sats Solanki aka the Digital Rabbi

Frequently Asked Questions
Each weekly Zoom session will be recorded and available for you to catch up if you’re unable to make it. Anything personal will be edited out and the final videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
Modern life brings weekly change and The Garden is set up to work around you. You can dip in and out as you fancy. Of course you’ll get more out of The Garden if you’re present – the choice is yours.
I’ve spent much of my life learning and developing creative skills. My first business was a music tuition company. I have a broad range of creative expertise with working knowledge across fields such as design, video, photography, audio production, copywriting, music, websites, social media and more.
That being said, The Garden is much more than just a place to upskill. It’s about spiritual growth, accountability, collaboration and encouragement.
The Garden is free, forever. There will be opportunities to upgrade to additional programmes with greater access but there is no obligation and no strings attached.
Honestly, you can choose to what level you want to interact with the group. The more you lean in, the more you’ll get but I understand that it’s not for everyone and that’s ok!
Don’t forget that accountability comes when people know what we’re doing. That peer pressure is exponentially increased in a group context.
Yes of course! Anyone can join regardless of religion (or lack of). The reason I’ve framed this as a Christian community is simply because the teaching will be through the lens of the Bible and I didn’t want to filter at all. But I believe this content is still relevant for every single person.
Whilst you will undoubtedly need to put additional time into building your side-hustle, the idea is that The Garden is a 60 minute slot every week where everything gets done. This will include accountability check ins, practical work in response to the weekly content etc. I don’t want to create more work than is necessary.
In one sense, your exact creative craft doesn’t matter so much as the principles you’ll need to apply to outwork it. The Garden is not so much about teaching your skill (because you’re awesome) but creating an environment that builds up your confidence and gives you permission to go for it. I’ve worked with authors, podcasters, designers and many more creative disciplines.
Our sessions are weekly so that there is a regular touch point and healthy accountability. You’ll get the most out of The Garden by being present but of course sometimes there will be other commitments that can’t be moved and that’s totally ok. Each session will be recorded if you want to catch up but it’s not a requirement that you are there every week.
Not every creative project is about making money of course. Regardless of whether you’re building an established business, starting from scratch with a side hustle or see your work as ministry – The Garden is all about supporting your individual goals as a creative.
I love how so much of the imagery in the Bible is organic and agricultural. God places human beings in a garden in Genesis. Jesus describes relationship with him in John 15 as abiding in the vine. So I’m convinced that our spiritual journey is much more about messy and tactile growth than it is about clinical or manufactured outcomes.
The Garden is about creating an environment that encourages that healthy sort of growth. When the environment is right, it’s much easier to flourish.
One of the best ways we learn is by hearing others share about the same challenges we face as creatives from a different perspective. Not only will this validate your own struggles but you’ll find insight and clarity in a group that is totally different to a private 1 on 1 environment.
About me
Hey there, I’m Sats aka the Digital Rabbi! My main focus is building Reflect Church but outside of work you will most likely find me spending time with my family.
My four kids prefer me to be playing Minecraft or wrestling with them. My wife likes me to be brewing artisan coffee or cooking Indian food. I also love chess, single malt whiskey, good books and am partial to the odd hipster houseplant.
