This January, join us in reading Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May. In this book, Katherine May explores not only the ways in which we survive the literal season of winter, but also the metaphorical winters of our lives- those times of sadness, illness, or feeling "cast out of everyday life". Along the way, May models an active acceptance of those "fallow periods" and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. For a full review of the book here.
Copies of the book are available at the Adult Services desk. Pick one up and join us for a discussion on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 1:00. Even if you haven't read it yet, but are interested, please come!
