ABOUT handmaid magazine

Handmaid is a Christian magazine and community for girls and women who are curious, creative and contemplative.

This is a space for women who yearn to go beyond the borders of secular and sacred and want to live intentionally.

1. Handmiad is a place for women who are learning and discovering

We are learning what it means to love God, to love others and  what it means to live a holy life. 

We are learning how to be good friends, to speak truth and to create.

We are learning to live intentionally, love ourselves and to celebrate all expressions of femininity.

While loving the process, the goal is all about being present while remembering the destination is now.

2. We want to empower you to ask questions

From contemplation to social activism, purity culture to  feminism, sex to mysticism. 

We are all about opening a dialogue about the things that  concern women and taking the time to ponder them.

3. We want to live Christ in everything

We follow the courageous example of Jesus’s mother Mary in saying yes to God to receive more and live Christ in everything.  

our mission

To build a community of curious, creative and courageous women who want to live Christ intentionally and authentically through contemplation.

Founder

Hi, I’m Charlene, the founder of Handmaid Magazine. 

I love empowering women to discover more about themselves and God. I also enjoy discovering more about how mental health and spirituality intersect and the ways in which women can cultivate creative and beautiful lives.
