Wintering

How we rest during the winter determines how we are born anew in the spring. Nature shows us that what we compost during the autumn, and what we leave fallow over winter, becomes the fertile ground for new growth in the spring. 

​

Slowing down and attuning to the seasons of autumn and winter can be hard, especially whilst juggling work, domestic chores, family life and sometimes health issues. So I have created lots of sessions to help us follow nature's lead this autumn and winter to simplify, slow down, restore ourselves and savour the quiet mystery of winter.

​

The online sessions might help you to embrace home and hearth, and create some quiet space for yourself from the comfort of your own home. You are encouraged to turn the lights down, create a nest for yourself, make yourself a comforting drink (my favourite is warmed oat milk with honey and cinnamon) and be guided through a gentle practice with stories, nidra, poems and meditations.

​

The day and weekend retreats help you to carve out some time away from everything so that you can devote more time for a deeper dive into rest. And I will be there to tuck you in and sing you some lullabies.
