The process is supported by the practice of meditation, which is being discussed and practiced everywhere these days: doctors’ waiting rooms, boardrooms, locker rooms, classrooms.

Often when early New England winters are brought to mind, we imagine families huddled around an insufficient fire in a dark and cold house while snow pelts the windows and the wolves howl at their door. Well, our ancestors made time for fun in the colder months. Sometimes it was something done as part of a chore but often it was something just for pleasure. Come hear why winter was welcomed by many and anxiously awaited by some.
