Journey the season with more beauty, rest, and inspiration
Creativity and Calm in the Stillness of Winter
Release winter weariness and rediscover beauty, rest, and inspiration through simple creative practices.
Wintering Well
Are you struggling with rest in this season?
Winter can feel like a heavy pause—dreary days, long nights, and a quiet stillness that can leave us feeling unsettled. The world around us seems to whisper "keep going, keep producing," even as our hearts and minds feel weary and stretched thin.
But what if winter isn’t something to endure or rush through?
What if, instead, this season is holding a deeper invitation—one that calls you to slow down, exhale, and allow yourself to simply be?
The rhythms of winter offer us a unique gift: the chance to embrace rest without guilt, to find beauty in the stillness, and to uncover a quieter kind of growth. Just as the trees draw energy into their roots and the earth lies fallow in preparation for spring, you, too, are invited to pause—to gather strength, replenish your spirit, and rediscover joy.
In this season, creativity becomes more than just an outlet; it becomes a response. Through slow, intentional acts of making, you can engage your hands and your heart, gently reconnecting to yourself and the world around you.
Winter doesn’t have to feel empty or heavy. It can be a season of peace, renewal, and quiet transformation—if only we lean into its invitation.
Are you ready to let go of striving, embrace rest, and discover the beauty waiting for you in the stillness?
Let this be the season you choose to exhale.

Wintering WellA gentle invitation
If you’re anything like me, winter can feel both tender and uneasy—a season that invites us to slow down, but often leaves us restless. I’ve spent years learning to see winter not as a void to fill but as a sacred pause, an opportunity to listen, breathe, and create.
This is why I created Wintering Well: A Creative Response—to offer a space where we can embrace this season together, through slow, meaningful creativity. I’ll guide you with simple, heart-mending, mixed media projects, reflective journaling, and a live 3-day gathering where we can come together to create, connect, and share.
Whether you’re feeling weary or simply longing for a gentler rhythm, this course is for you. No artistic experience is needed—just a heart open to rest and renewal.
I'd be honored to journey through this quiet, wintering season with you.
Let's create together,
Gabi
