About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
This is wintering. It is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and commit to healing them the best we can.
Wintering, the dormant periods in our lives, the dark moments we endure - which can be brought about through myriad of ways; from the death of a loved one to a sudden change in circumstances or mental health issues - can be lonely and damaging and catch us off guard.
Katherine May recounts her own year-long journey through winter and how she found strength and inspiration when life felt frozen. Part memoir, part exploration of a human condition, Wintering explores the healing nature of the great outdoors to help us overcome and embrace our own wintering experiences and how, much like nature, we can learn to appreciate these low periods, and what they have to teach us, before the ushering in of a new season.

Beautiful book..
I rarely finish a book on audible, I’m not sure why as when I read I never fail to finish a book but this one I devoured. The small moments of life that we all recognize. Really beautiful.

Wintering
A comprehensive twist on so many traditions, experiences, and history of people and animal behaviour. A rack of different traditions all to do with habits of winter. Wintering used as narrative to depression. A relaxing insight to the authors perspectives. The audio felt like a comforting blanket at times.

Wonderfully gentle guide to slow, steady self car
I enjoyed the perspective of the author, not forcing any “must do” ideas but sharing the experience and facts from herself and others through difficult times.
I have recommended this book to others experiencing grief.

not what I expected
this wasn't quite what I expected but I really enjoyed it, part embrace of actual winter and part embrace of a more metaphorical one

Great book
I really enjoy listen to this book. I think it’s more likely that I can relate to story. I will definitely listen again soon.

This is one I will listen to again and again. It’s a reminder to be kind to ourselves and acknowledge that our lives will have summers and winters

Perfect winter read.
Gives us permission to embrace the deep need to hibernate at difficult times and explores the many kinds of “winter” that come into all our lives. This book is like a big bowl of nourishing stew to help us through the cold and dark.
