Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times

Author(s): Katherine May

Mind, Body, Spirit | Charlotte

'A beautiful, gentle exploration of the dark season of life and the light of spring that eventually follows' Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path 'A peaceful rebuff to life in fast-forward' Guardian Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life. 'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself' Elizabeth Gilbert

Staff notes: Winter doesn't just happen to the sky and the trees - winter happens within us, too. As human beings, we experience seasons of withdrawal and sadness, times when we need to curl up and rest. Katherine May guides us through her own personal winter in this luminous book on embracing the more difficult side of life with grace.
