Between the rushing around getting ready for Christmas and the pressure to be in a state of festive bliss twenty-four seven, this time of year can be a lot.
Wintering is 90 minutes set aside to figure out what real rest and nurture actually mean for you, because for some that's slowing right down, and for others it might be dancing round the kitchen table with friends!
Through gentle guided prompts, a little music and a little literature to inspire, you'll explore, through journaling, what you genuinely love about this season and find easeful, realistic ways to bring more of that into your life as the nights draw in.
Decades of research back up why this works. Mindful journaling genuinely eases anxiety, lowers stress, builds your immune system and improves your sleep. Wintering is a wonderful opportunity for you to take good care of yourself over the months ahead, in whatever way that actually means for you, and leave calmer, clearer, and genuinely uplifted by the experience. There is something truly lovely about gathering to write together.
No writing experience needed. You will never be asked to read aloud from your journal and absolute no pressure to share your experience of the writing, although we love it when you do.
Notebook and pen provided, though do bring your favourite journal with you, if you'd rather use your own.
And you don't need any background in literature or journaling, this works just as well if you write badly. Everyone's welcome, just as they are.
