As the days grow shorter and the air sharpens with the chill of winter, it’s tempting to resist the season’s quiet pull. But what if, instead of seeing winter as something to endure, we embraced it as an invitation to rest, reflect and reset? This is the philosophy behind “wintering”—a conscious approach to making the most of the slower rhythms of the colder months as an opportunity to reconnect to what’s important and find joy rather than letting the winter blues take hold. In this article, we explore the concept of wintering and how it can be beneficial to health and wellbeing to embrace the seasons and their cycles to work with them.
