The Creative Rites of Winter

Winter is a complex season that calls us into something far deeper than simple rest—it invites us to cultivate our mythopoetic identity, the soul-level essence of who we are here to be.In this episode, we explore Winter through the lens of the four directions and how this season asks us to tend our inner fires, build psychological containment, and step into a quiet kind of leadership that prepares us to contribute to our communities. We'll unpack why winter requires both yin and yang—the deep stillness and the practical actions that keep our waters warm—and why so many of us feel like we're doing this season "wrong" when we're actually navigating its inherent complexity.Drawing from the School of Lost Borders, depth psychology, and the wisdom of Capricorn season, this episode offers a more grounded, embodied approach to winter that honors both its mysteries and its material demands. If you're ready to stop collapsing into performative rest and start building the containers that allow your soul's medicine to rise, this one's for you.Links Mentioned:Join us for Weavers, I -- we begin on January 6th
