Seasonal Reflections
Throughout my work, I have often noticed how the changing seasons can shape our energy, emotions and inner rhythms in subtle but important ways. This space offers gentle invitations for reflection throughout the year.
Winter
Winter often encourages slowing down, rest and reflection. For some people, it can also feel emotionally heavier.
Wintering - Katherine May
A year of good things - Jason Ward
The midnight libray- Matt Haig
Reflection
What deserves gentler expectations right now?
Where in my life might I need more warmth, rest or softness?
Spring
Spring can sometimes bring a desire for movement, change or reconnection after quieter emotional periods.
The Old Pond- Matsuo Bashō
The Gift - Edith Eger
The Book of Delights- Ross Gay
Reflections
What part of yourself have you not paid enough attention to recently?
What feels energising at the moment?
Summer
While summer is often associated with freedom and vitality, it can also bring overwhelm, pressure to socialise or difficulty slowing down.
Ithaka - C. P. Cavafy
The Alchemist- Paulo Coelho
The Summer Book- Tove Janson
Still life- Sarah Winman
Reflection
What genuinely nourishes me socially?
What memories would I like this summer to hold?
Autumn
Autumn often invites reflection around change, transition and letting go.

La fine è il mio inizio - Tiziano Terzani
Letters from Japan- Marie Kondo
A nature poem for every Autumn Evening- Jane McMorland Hunter
Reflection
What am I carrying that no longer fits?
What has changed quietly over the past year?
