Ergebnis von "Katherine May" in Alle Kategorien

Es gibt Zeiten, da liegt unser Leben auf Eis und wir fühlen uns wie aus der Welt gefallen. Durch eine Krankheit oder den Verlust eines geliebten Menschen, durch Arbeitslosigkeit - oder durch ein Virus, das die ganze Welt innehalten lässt. Katherine May nennt diese Zeiten des Rückzugs "Winter". Und wie auch im Winter alles ruht, um Kraft für den Frühling zu sammeln, so gibt May sich dem "Überwintern" hin. Sie reist nach Tromsø zu den Polarlichtern, schwimmt im eisigen Meer, schwitzt in der Sauna und feiert das Winterfest Santa Lucia.

Wintering, the dormant periods in our lives, the dark moments we endure can be lonely and damaging and catch us off guard. Katherine May recounts her own year-long journey through winter and how she found strength and inspiration when life felt frozen. Part memoir, part exploration of a human condition, Wintering explores the healing nature of the great outdoors to help us overcome and embrace our own wintering experiences and how, much like nature, we can learn to appreciate these low periods, and what they have to teach us, before the ushering in of a new season.

Zutiefst erschöpft und müde, beklommen und überwältigt von den immer neuen Nachrichten während der Pandemie, sehnte Katherine May sich danach, die aus den Fugen geratene Welt um sich herum neu zu sortieren. Gibt es auch eine andere Art, zu leben? Sinnerfüllter, stärker verbunden mit der Welt zu unseren Füßen? Eine Lebensweise, die uns ein stärkeres Gefühl der Verortung schenkt und uns zugleich ausgeruhter und gelassener macht, auch wenn die Welt um uns herum sich immer stärker zu verändern droht?

Feeling bone-tired, anxious and overwhelmed by the rolling news cycle and the pandemic age, Katherine May seeks to unravel the threads of a life wound too tightly. Could there be another way to live - one that feels more meaningful, more grounded in the places beneath our feet? One that would allow us to feel more connected, more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet?

Last summer, Katherine May was approaching 40, feeling overwhelmed by motherhood and lacking connection with others, lost in a world of inundation and expectation. She had always felt different, but this feeling was new. She wanted to get out, get free and find herself again - and so set about walking the rugged 450-mile South West Coast Path. However, this journey uncovered more than she had ever imagined.

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. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times.

A veces te escapas por las grietas: circunstancias imprevistas como una enfermedad repentina, la muerte de un ser querido, una ruptura o la pérdida del trabajo pueden descarrilar una vida. Estos períodos de dislocación pueden ser solitarios e inesperados. Para May, su esposo se enfermó, su hijo dejó de asistir a la escuela y sus propios problemas médicos la llevaron a dejar un trabajo exigente. Invernando explora cómo ella no solo soportó este doloroso momento, sino que aprovechó las oportunidades singulares que le ofrecía.

Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet?
