S3 Ep10 WINTERSONG: Gratitude + dreaming

Here we are completing another circle around the sun. We have clambered across the fabric of another year, stitched together adventures, stories, and memories, darned some holes as neatly as we could, knotted threads of new colour into our lives, and we are now here at the edge looking back across all we have woven in the past twelve months. This is a wonderful time to focus on gratitude, to reflect on the year gone by, choose what to leave behind in this year, do some gentle dreaming for the year ahead and cross the threshold of the year together, with hope, dreams and a steaming cup of tea. This episode includes: Tips for dreaming and scheming for the year ahead An exclusive excerpt from my new book Kokoro: Japanese wisdom for a life well lived (out April 2024) New Year traditions from around the world (from lovely listeners!)
