Albion Book Club: "Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times""

Join the Albion Book Club to discuss "Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times" by Katherine May. Meet in person here at the Albion Library, or contact us for a Zoom link.

"A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas.

"Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season."
