with Hannah Lee

If you’ve been here for a while, you know that Hannah is a Wintering fanatic and has been leading Yoga and Journaling on this theme for a minute. This year, we are turning towards the early chapters of Katherine May’s book to “make ready” for metaphorical and seasonal winter.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the approaching winter might feel like the lurking “Jaws” theme track – ominous, dark, and isolating. Chicagoans know all too well the frantic energy with which we pack in the summer weekends and evenings as if we are trying to store up for the impending cold and shortened days. But what if we accepted winter, both the season and the emotional periods of life where we might retreat from the world, do less, allow ourselves to rest. What if this season has something to offer us, a permission that we don’t often take? 

Katherine May writes, “We may never choose to winter, but we can choose how.” Come explore what that might look like for you as we practice gentle movement and quiet reflection together on October 19th.
