As the year draws in (in the Northern hemisphere), many of us feel the pull to slow down — but our culture rarely gives us permission to rest.
In this first Wintering circle, “Crossing the Threshold”, we’ll explore what it means to cross into the quieter season of the soul. Together we’ll reflect on Katherine May’s invitation to listen when life asks us to stop striving, to step away, and to tend our inner fires.
There will be discussion, a grounding meditation, and time to consider through group ritual, what you’re ready to lay down before winter fully arrives.
Before this session, please read:
- Prologue: September - Indian Summer
- October: Making Ready, Hot Water and Ghost Stories
Themes in these chapters are: Thresholds, withdrawal, listening to the body, the beginning of descent.

This is part 1 of a 4-month book journey through Wintering by Katherine May. Sessions will be held on the last Sunday of the month in November, December, January and February.
There is an in-person small group day retreat on Saturday 3rd January 2026. A gentle day of rest and renewal inspired by Wintering — blending nature connection, reflection, and community in a cosy, nurturing setting.
