For some, winter is a magical time of year filled with cozy sweaters, snow-filled woods, and peaceful solitude. For others, the season’s frigid weather, shorter days, and indoor confinements inspire only a longing for spring. Either way, winter claims at least one quarter of our calendars every year, bringing shifts in what we eat and wear and shaping (in the Northern Hemisphere) our traditions surrounding the New Year, Valentine’s Day, and more. With an eye toward understanding our broader human connection to the natural world, this class draws upon poets, philosophers, musicians, and participants (that’s you!) in search of answers to a deceptively simple question: “What is winter?” In addition, we’ll consider how ongoing climate disruptions may well change our answers to this inquiry and, in turn, our daily lives. While the evening may not reverse your love, or dislike, of winter, it will certainly leave you with a deeper appreciation for the season’s past, present, and future meaning. Join us!
When: Jan 12, 2027 @ 7:00-9:00pm
Where: JeannieBird Baking Company, 42 W. Main St., Westminster, MD
Cost: $50 / person (inc. dessert and coffee/tea)
