From the New York Times–bestselling author of Wintering, an invitation to rediscover the feelings of awe & wonder available to us all

Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful & tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue d anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested & at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet? Might there be a way for all of us to move through life with curiosity & tenderness, sensitized to the subtle magic all around?
 
In Enchantment, May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder & awe. With humor, candor, & warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, & the aftereffects of pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen. 

Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air & identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention & ritual, she unearths the potency & nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment. 

Blending lyricism & storytelling, sensitivity & empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its sensual complexity, & to find the beauty waiting for us there. 

A writer of both fiction & nonfiction, Katherine May authored Wintering: The Power of Rest & Retreat in Difficult Times. May's work appeared in The NY Times, The Times (London), Good Housekeeping, & Cosmopolitan.
