Welcome to Wintering: A Seasonal Creativity Program
Join us for a journey with the in-between—the quiet, restorative time of winter.
Create space for your imaginal self to take root in Winter’s fertile void.
I love winter. Specifically January and February in the PNW. Before you say, you’re crazy!, let me explain. I love the quiet, hush after the busyness of the end-of-year festivities. I love the spaciousness of bare tree limbs against the white/grey sky, offering me a blank slate and an expanded view.
Winter invites reflection, retreat, and active, receptive waiting. This internal process is essential to the nature’s cycles and the creative process.
There is so much happening in the in-between, gestational stage of the creative process—even if we can’t see it.
“Our work blooms from the digestion of our experiences and impressions. And very often, when we do not feel productive or capable of further efforts, we can still gather experience and knowledge, preparing the ground. This kind of work is essential, and leads to the epiphanal moments in the flow.”
Without winter there is no spring. The Winter stage is where we cultivate states of creative awareness, such as patience, stillness, intuition, imagination, trust, humility, gratitude, awareness, reflection, and connection to the source within us.
Winter is a strengthening stage—clearing out and creating the inner space for the new inspiration, the new vision, to arrive and take root.

“More darkness means more quietness in the evenings, when all that can be heard is the robin’s song. The rook, the jackdaw, raven or hooded crow, the distant squealing of gulls. I can hear so much more in between.”
