Summary

Have you ever heard the term ‘wintering?’ It’s the concept of doing the radical act of slowing down, resting and refuelling for the future seasons. It sounds simple in theory, but can be really difficult to practice in a world, both physically and digitally, that pushes us to stay in a state of eternal summer; always on, always doing, always producing. If your energy and mood are low this winter season, tune in to this chat to discuss the ways we can winter in order to refill and replenish our resources.

0:00.0	If you haven't allowed yourself to truly winter, to step away, to slow down, to rest, to replenish,
0:05.6	to get inspired by life again, do the radical act and do the unfashionable thing and do it now.
0:12.8	Hey guys, what's up and welcome back to another coffee talk?
0:21.6	I am here to talk to you today about the concept of wintering.
0:25.8	Have you ever heard of this term before? I am reading a book called Wintering and it is
0:31.3	actually written by Catherine May. I'm reading it with my book club so I haven't actually
0:34.5	finished the book but I really want to talk about it today. I want to talk about the idea or the

1:10.5	and keep a generally stable mood.
1:12.1	But the majority of the other days of winter tend to be very gray,
1:16.5	tend to be very cold, it is also very cold today too.
1:19.7	And just, I feel like there's this pressure especially going into January and going into a new year
1:28.8	that we need to be doing instead of just resting.
