The winter solstice is approaching, and as the new season takes space, so do new needs. My woollen socks are out of the closet, tea is constantly brewing, and getting out of bed in the morning is probably the most difficult task.Winter used to be difficult for me personally, but then I got it. it’s not the cold, but it’s not just the darkness, either. It was my resistance to darkness, to receiving its subtle regenerative gifts.Let's dig into it. Thank you for listening. I'll be back in January. I've started writing a newsletter, twice a month.

Today I discuss decision making, which was inspired by a conversation I had the other day. Why is it that making a decision can be so difficult at times? What causes our indecision? Is there a right or wrong decision? I believe the best decision is the one you make; we'll find out whether or not it worked as expected later. Changing your mind and changing your course is always an option.Let's dig into it.Thank you for listening! I've started writing a newsletter, twice a month.

I want to ask: what nourishes you? I want talk about the nourishment that supports us to grow and thrive, even when things get hard. What nourishes you now can  be different to what nourished you during the summer or what will nourish you in the depth of winter. And this can and will be different for each of us. Because the experience of nourishment, and not only I would add, is subjective. Thank you for listening! I've started writing a newsletter, twice a month.
