Synopsis:

Discover the enriching lessons of winter through practices that promote rest, contemplation, and rejuvenation, including rituals for self-care, slow living, mindfulness, and creativity. Perfect for fans of Wintering and How to Do Nothing.

Wintering is the practice of slowing down to rest and recuperate, just as nature does in the quiet winter months. This enchanting little book makes it easy to discover the joys of these essential pauses that allow us to nourish our bodies, quiet our minds, and rejuvenate our spirits so we can welcome the bright promises of spring. A mix of evocative photography and charming illustration enriches the experience, inviting us to browse, linger, contemplate, and engage with the reflections and suggestions.

Organized around the five senses--with advice on what to see, what to listen for, what to touch, how to breathe, and how to taste--these pages make it easy to create your own wintering practice through:

• Nature-inspired rituals for rest, stillness, and contemplation
• Recipes, meditations, and creative projects to encourage slow living
• Inspiration from wintering traditions throughout the world
• And so much more.
