Wintering is the practice of slowing down to rest and recuperate, just as nature does in the quiet winter months. This enchanting little book makes it easy to discover the joys of these essential pauses that allow us to nourish our bodies, quiet our minds, and rejuvenate our spirits so we can welcome the bright promises of spring. A mix of evocative photography and charming illustration enriches the experience, inviting us to browse, linger, contemplate, and engage with the reflections and suggestions.

Organized around the five senses—with advice on what to see, what to listen for, what to touch, how to breathe, and how to taste—these pages make it easy to create your own wintering practice through:

  • Nature-inspired rituals for rest, stillness, and contemplation
  • Recipes, meditations, and creative projects to encourage slow living
  • Inspiration from wintering traditions throughout the world
  • And so much more.

Brimming with enlightening lessons and lovely, nature-inspired artwork throughout, this cozy companion from the author of A Little Book of Japanese Contentments reminds us that moments of peace, beauty, and joy are always available if we know how to look for them.

Erin Niimi Longhurst is a Japanese-British writer based in London. Her writing explores self-care, food, travel, and Japanese practices for well-being. She is the author of Little Book of Japanese Contentments and Omoiyari: The Japanese Art of Compassion.
