“Wintering is the courage to slow down, to retreat, and to rest in order to grow again.” – Katherine May
In our culture of constant doing, winter often feels like something to endure. But what if this season — both in nature and in ourselves — was an invitation? A chance to pause, reflect, and replenish?
This workshop explores the powerful concept of Wintering, inspired by Katherine May’s much-loved book. Together, we’ll explore why it is so important to honour the season of winter around us, and within us.
✨ What to Expect
Guided reflections on the theme of Wintering and how it applies to your own life
Gentle nature connection practices to help you tune into the season
Space for rest, contemplation, and nourishment
Tools to embrace life’s slower seasons with more compassion and wisdom
You’ll leave with a deeper sense of connection to winter’s quiet gifts, and practical ways to honour your own inner cycles of rest and renewal.
🌲 Who This Is For
Anyone feeling the pull to slow down and rest
Those seeking gentle inspiration during the darker months
People curious about nature’s wisdom and seasonal living
Anyone navigating a personal “wintering” season of their own
No previous experience is needed — just come as you are.

“I did not expect to have such a powerful experience with Forest Bathing. I enjoy being in Nature and well-being so was curious to try and it definitely delivered. I felt so incredibly calm and at peace. I completely lost track of time and got lost in the moment. Tansy was very friendly and professional and lead us on a magical journey. I will definitely be back!”

About Hever
This workshop will take place at a private woodland location on the grounds of Hever Castle so is not in the main grounds. This beautiful secluded spot has a wonderful wild feel to it with a base camp circle surrounded by woodland and we will have exclusive use of the space for the duration of the session.
Please note: This area is a separate private space away from the main grounds of Hever and the cost to attend this workshop does not include access into the main castle grounds. We will however send you a link when you book with the option to add the entrance fee so you can visit the Castle and main grounds afterwards if you wish.
