Winter Solstice Series, Episode 1: The Wisdom of Darkness- Rooting into the Winter Rest

As winter deepens and the light continues to recede, the natural world invites us to slow down, rest, and turn inward. Many of us feel pressure to do the opposite; to keep producing, pushing, and performing as if it’s always spring.

In this episode of Insightful Adventuring, Heather explores the wisdom of darkness and what it means to root into winter rest; both seasonally and within the body. This conversation gently weaves together earth-based rhythms and the lived experience of perimenopause, reframing this time of life not as a breakdown, but as a meaningful threshold.

Like winter, perimenopause often asks for deeper rest, clearer boundaries, and a return to inner knowing. Rather than resisting these signals, we explore what becomes possible when we listen.

If living in rhythm with the seasons and listening more closely to your body feels supportive, I share quiet reflections, seasonal prompts, and nature-based practices in my Wild & Rooted newsletter. You’re welcome to join if it feels like a fit. Visit www.heatherwebsterwellness.com to learn more
