Winter Scott (born on 23 June 2010 in the United States) is the son of American new-age spiritualist Teal Swan and her first husband Mark Scott. Winter is Swan’s only son. After divorcing Mark in 2012, Teal married Sarbdeep Swan in January 2014 and then Ale Gicqueau in July 2016. With them, she had no children.
Teal Swan has often said in interviews and has also written in blog posts that her son, Winter, was one of the reasons that she took her spiritual abilities seriously. Before Winter was born, she had repeatedly attempted to suppress and neglect her spiritual abilities, and to live an ordinary life.
In the early 2000s, Teal Swan travelled to China with her mother. In China, traditional Chinese samans and medics investigated her spiritual and extrasensory activities. Swan has mentioned in her writings that, in China, she was accepted as she was, and was taught to use her spiritual abilities to help and heal others.
After returning to the US from China, Swan attempted to live an ordinary life again. She started modelling and joined the US Telemark Ski Team to pursue a career in skiing. It was during these years that she met Mark Scott. In 2006, at 22, Swan married Scott and the couple began to live in Utah, United States.
After nearly four years from their wedding, in 2010, Swan gave birth to Winter. When Winter was still very young, Teal reportedly noticed that he, too, had extrasensory spiritual qualities as she had. It was that discovery that made Swan serious about her spiritual pursuits and became one of the reasons for renouncing ordinary life.
Winter’s life after parents’ divorce
Teal Swan’s (then Teal Scott) and Mark Scott’s relationship collapsed after nearly seven years. After their divorce, Winter has been primarily living with his mother, i.e. Teal, and Mark has also significantly participated in his upbringing.
Winter has been a consistent topic in Swan’s discussions and her writing. Swan has revealed that she has already initiated Winter in the spiritual journey that she is in. She also regularly posts about him on her social media accounts. For instance, on his 11th birthday, Teal wrote on a Facebook post that, with Winter, every day was a gift. In one of her blog posts, Teal shared a poem that she wrote for her Winter:
Awaken love.
May the blue, ethereal, newness of your eyes look upon this world.
May your tiny, uncoordinated hands explore it.
The sun lays itself across your window this morning.
May you greet it with a smile which will never vanish from your lips.
You are home, with me.
May you always keep this kiss I lay across your cheek.
Awaken love, and know you make a heaven of my everyday.
In the same post, which was written when Winter was 10, Teal said that he had lost his front tooth, and was ready for spiritual growth. She wrote:
Winter has been parented through an emotional coaching style. He has a higher emotional quotient than most adults do.  For this reason, he does not need to be put in touch with his emotions.
Swan also often uses Winter’s example in her discussion about the modern world’s parent-child relationships. In one post, she wrote:
Our children do not belong to us. They belong with us, but not to us.  They come in with a unique life purpose and mission.  It is like a pearl that is contained inside of a lotus blossom…Separate who you are from who each child is. Â
