Episode Synopsis

Can we allow ourselves to cease the relentless pursuit of doing enough, and instead choose to be kind to ourselves and one another—to make warm and generous meals, to sit with people we love under blankets, to dream, and to ask ourselves who we are if we're not proving ourselves? These are the spiritual practices of Epiphany, to be still long enough to see the revelation for all that is. Find Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. Here's a link to The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well. This reflection and practice were also published this week in The Slow Way Letter on Substack.
