Our world is obsessed with constant productivity, but Katherine May's book, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, offers a refreshing perspective on the importance of embracing rest and retreat during life's challenging periods. Jenny explores how 'wintering' – a time for healing and introspection – is not a luxury, but a vital part of our well-being.
Join Jenny as she shares personal insights and reflections inspired by May's journey and her unique approach to life's ebb and flow. Learn how to give yourself permission to pause without guilt, and understand the cyclical nature of our experiences. This episode is a gentle reminder of the healing power of retreat and the importance of embracing our own 'wintering' moments for emotional and physical rejuvenation.
