Sometimes life asks us to slow down before we’re ready. In Wintering, Katherine May offers a moving and deeply compassionate exploration of what happens when illness, grief, loss, burnout, or other unexpected circumstances pull us out of our usual rhythm.
Drawing from her own experience of navigating a difficult season of life, May explores the transformative power of rest, retreat, and allowing ourselves to be where we are rather than rushing to return to normal. Her personal story is woven together with insights from literature, mythology, nature, and the changing seasons — from solstice traditions to animal hibernation.
Rather than treating difficult periods as something to simply overcome, Wintering invites us to consider what they might teach us. It is a beautiful reminder that rest is not failure, retreat is not weakness, and every season has something to offer.
A thoughtful choice for anyone moving through a transition, recovering from a demanding season, or simply learning to honor the natural rhythms of life.
Details:
A reflective exploration of difficult life seasons
Draws on literature, mythology, nature, and seasonal traditions
Explores rest, retreat, resilience, and transformation
A comforting read for times of grief, illness, burnout, or major transition
