About Katherine May
The Clearing
A newsletter and community for wild minds, winterers and enchantment-seekers.
I’m Katherine May, author of Wintering, Enchantment, and The Electricity of Every Living Thing, and host of the podcast How We Live Now.
This began as an author newsletter, but over time, I’ve realised I’m trying to create a specific place—a clearing where we can gather, see each other, and ruminate over the question of how to live. Many of us are weary of the noisy encouragement for endless growth, to stay positive, and hide our uncertainty. We're seeking to be more gentle, to bring rest, integrity, and beauty into our lives. I’m heartily sick of gurus; nobody knows all the answers anymore, too much is changing.
