Author Katherine May On Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat


Listen Later

New England winters are a good time to lean into our favorite winter activities or get more sleep!

Author, Katherine May writes the act of wintering goes beyond the season. It can be a period of reflection and down time when life throws the worst at us.  

Before we close out the year, we listen back to my conversation with May about her book Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times.

She writes we “must learn to invite the winter in. We may never choose winter, but we can choose how.” 

How are you wintering?
