This month, we embrace the teachings of winter.
Winter calls us to slow down, to listen to the quiet within, and to honor the stillness. It is a time for introspection and for nurturing our inner world . This guide, Wintering, is an invitation to rest, reflect, and prepare for the renewal that awaits.

Wintering
Wintering is a season for the soul. —it is about honoring the quiet transformations that happen beneath the surface. This is not a time for rushing or planning; it is a time for deep listening. Wintering invites us to step away from the noise and lean into the stillness. It is in this stillness that we come to know ourselves more intimately.
We live in a world that glorifies movement, hustle, planning but just as the earth cycles through seasons of growth and dormancy, so do we. Wintering allows us to honor the natural ebb and flow of our energy, to embrace the sacred wisdom of slowing down. It is here, in the quiet and dark, that the seeds of our future self are realized.
In this guide, you’ll find prompts and practices to help you:
• Reflect on where you’ve been and where you’re going.
• Release the burdens you’ve been carrying.
• Restore your energy and nurture your inner world.
• Renew your vision
Approach this journey with an open heart. Let the quiet guide you. Trust that even in the darkest days, there is light waiting to emerge.
