Week 1: Stillness

Welcome to winter.

This season does not arrive. It descends. It envelops.

With weather, with dark, with a subtle invitation to slow the pace of our attention.

Inside Practices of Belonging, winter is not treated as something to endure or overcome. It is honoured as a time of holding. When life is underground, when ecosystems rest in order to remain alive, when relationship deepens through presence rather than action.

The practices you’ll find here during the winter months are gentle by design. They do not ask you to improve yourself, optimize your nervous system, or make meaning of every experience. What they do offer are ways of staying close….to your body, to place, to the quiet intelligence of the living world.
