We love a healthy balance of work and play. To continue to honor that in 2023 Hannah and I will be hosting this book club! Also in the spirit of continuing to work on ourselves, our book choices will be focused on personal growth.
Our book choice for January 2023 will be Wintering: The power of rest and retreat in difficult times by Katherine May. This book was actually gifted to Realle by one of book club members at our 2022 holiday party and it turns out everyone at the party was interested in reading this one!
Wintering is an intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. 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.
We'll be meeting this time in Realle's cozy home. Light snacks and drinks will be served. Exact address will be sent by email closer to meeting time.
And, if you haven't read the book, or aren't a book lover - no worries! This book club is meant to be community focused, meaning that this event is also a great place to meet like-minded women who are dedicated to self-care and personal growth. The books are just a bonus!
We plan to meet monthly all year and will be choosing a new book each month. We'd love your feedback on what to read next.
See you there!
