There’s a saying in Scandinavian culture, where winter days are sunless and icy—“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” In an effort to clothe ourselves against a season of what is sure to feel like “bad weather,” the Voice presents “No bad weather: Finding joy in a COVID winter.” With topics ranging from reading the tarot and digging up local history to baking bread and cold-weather sports, we hope you’ll find something to warm you up while you keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter.

Building a spiritual practice into your life can help ease stress, improve health, and add meaning and purpose to your days. If you’re looking for a new way to bring some clarity and connection into your final weeks of winter, we’ve got a few simple ways to get started.

“This is the first, the wildest, and the wisest thing I know: That the soul exists, and it is made entirely out of our attentiveness.”  — Mary Oliver

“Much of spiritual life is self acceptance. Maybe all of it.” — Jack Kornfield
