Themes for this issue are:

​

Reflection and Renewal

• Exploring the concept of looking back to move forward, shedding old habits, or finding clarity through retrospection.

Hibernation and Growth

• Embracing rest, quiet, and preparation for future creativity or transformation.

Light in the Darkness

• The symbolic role of light—literal and metaphorical—during long nights, and finding brightness in challenging times.

Cycles and Seasons

• How winter fits into the broader cycles of nature, life, and emotions.

Stillness and Silence

• Exploring the beauty and tension in moments of pause or quiet, and how they affect creativity or connection.

Warmth and Connection

• Seeking community or comfort during the cold, both physically and emotionally.

Dreams and Intuition

• The vivid inner world that often emerges in winter, a time of introspection and imagination.

Transitions and Thresholds

• The symbolic power of winter as a bridge between the old and the new.
