In March, we visit the home of bears as they complete their hibernation.

Because bears sleep without dreaming, their minds weave the world instead. As they weave it, we read to them from the Mending Book, a collection of reminders (written in Primordial Bear symbols) on what to include in the fabric of the world, so that it will be able to withstand the hardship and suffering of the coming year.

(We'd recommend reading the Mending Book to any sleepers in your life. While bears have particular power in this arena, due to the Strength, Focus, and Longevity of their hibernation, it remains true that all of us in dreamless sleep share in the responsibility of weaving the world.)
