Have you considered that maybe winter isn’t something to “get through”?
That your energy isn’t broken — it’s just seasonal?
That your creative rhythm might not match the calendar year’s constant push for goals, growth, and output?
We spend all year in motion — planning, producing, achieving — until suddenly the light shifts, and our bodies start whispering rest. But most of us keep going anyway.
When you ignore that natural pull toward stillness…
-
Your ideas start to feel flat or recycled.
-
You scroll more, but feel less inspired.
-
You’re exhausted, but can’t justify a break that doesn’t look like “vacation.”
What if your creative block isn’t a lack of motivation— it’s a lack of wintering?
You’ve probably tried things like:
-
Digital detoxes that last a day.
- The Artists Way which becomes another to-do
- Meditation apps that feel like work.
-
Retreats that promise transformation but feel performative.
What you really need isn’t another self-improvement project — it’s a container for quiet, a space to remember what it feels like to be in rhythm with yourself again.
This is The Winter Fold * Season 2
A 5-week virtual retreat for creative people who want to rest differently. We gather around art, reflection, and conversation — exploring how stillness can become its own creative act.
How it’s different:
-
We don’t optimize; we decelerate.
-
We use artworks as portals for inquiry, not decoration.
- We center noticing rather than making.
-
We value connection as much as solitude.
- We fold in, not away— to emerge more present, more yourself.
