Wintering

THE GOLDEN ROOM episode 6 – WINTERING

December, approaching the year’s darkest night,

and the only way out of the dream is down and through it.

In this episode of The Golden Room we delve into the deep dreaming of Winter, the year’s nadir, when things seem at their bleakest (especially at the moment…). Rather than drown out the howl of the north wind, or blind the darkness with blinking lights, savour the quietude, the long, dark nights and the short, sharp days with their promise of immanence with this selection of music, poetry, and storytelling.  Created and hosted by Kevan Manwaring.
