Winter is a time of darkness.  

As Katherine May writes, “winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximizing scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.” A great wisdom can be found in the winter. The wisdom that is recollected in the intentional return to practices of connection, contemplation, and creativity. As the season invites us to slow down, we have the opportunity to turn inward and tend our invisible terrain.
