Wintering
Summary
A New York Times Best Seller! As heard on NPR Morning Edition and On Being with Krista Tippett “Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.” (Krista Tippett, On Being) “Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself.... This is truly a beautiful book.” (Elizabeth Gilbert) "Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark.... May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate - capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." (Wall Street Journal) "May writes beautifully.... A contemplative, hopeful, consoling book.” (NPR) An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a breakup, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season.

The Power Path Training
Summary
Shamanic wisdom reveals that your personal power comes from being in alignment - with yourself, others, your environment, and the dimensions of spirit. With The Power Path Training, expert teachers José and Lena Stevens offer a complete course in indigenous empowerment practices adapted for modern life. Drawn from the acclaimed curriculum they've taught for more than 25 years, this program gives you diverse and flexible techniques for accessing the "inner shaman" - the core spiritual self that fearlessly expresses your highest purpose in this world. The way of the shaman teaches you to "see through the heart", which cannot be deceived by fear or confusion. From this centered place, you’ll learn self-inquiry practices to find and heal your "power leaks" at the physical, psychological, and energetic levels. Over six immersive sessions, José and Lena offer time-tested practices for receiving wisdom and support from your ancestors, guides, the natural world, and the spiritual source from which all true power arises. Shamanic practice allows you to perceive the hidden flows of power in the world - but there is a price. "To walk this path," says José Stevens, "you must sacrifice false beliefs that can feel familiar and comfortable." If you are ready to break free from your limits and embrace a life of authenticity, connection, and meaning, then join these two extraordinary teachers for The Power Path Training.
