Welcome back to 🌿🌙 THE EARTHY WRITER: My Rewilding Year 🐝✨


This is episode 17: “Wintering” or: Why Giving Yourself Permission to Rest Reaps Better Results. Recorded during the Full Cold Moon in Germany, this episode explores the often-overlooked power of rest and the wisdom we can find in winter's natural rhythm of retreat and renewal. Join me as I share my personal experiment with embracing rest, guided by Katherine May's "Wintering" and Kate Northrup's "Do Less." We'll explore how stepping away from constant productivity can actually enhance our creative output and wellbeing.


In this Rewilding Episode, you'll learn:

  • Why rest is not the opposite of productivity, but its foundation
  • How nature's winter wisdom can transform our relationship with creative cycles
  • The revolutionary "egg wisdom" principle and why doing less leads to better results
  • Practical ways to incorporate deep rest into your creative practice
  • Why these fallow periods are essential for transformation and growth
