Having trouble sleeping?  Join Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai for bedtime stories where nothing much happens to help you relax and sleep peacefully. The stories are a soft landing spot for your mind. Rather than letting your brain race through the same thoughts you’ve been chasing all day, we are taking a detour to a calm and comfy place. We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

You can find our book, "Nothing Much Happens," in over 20 languages. Request your local bookseller to shelve it: https://bit.ly/Nothing-Much-Happens

City Sidewalks (Encore)

Our story tonight is called Holiday Window at the Bookshop, and it’s a story about clearing out the pumpkins and setting up the twinkle lights on a rainy December afternoon. It’s also about old buildings with tall ceilings and heavy front doors, a dog asleep in a chair, paper stars and puddles among the cobblestones, and the promise of a new book to whisk you away somewhere magical. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to <a href="https://weareempower.org/">Empower</a>. They provide children, teens, and young adults relief from grief and guide them through life following the loss of a parent. <a href="https://shop.nothingmuchhappens.com/products/weighted-pillows">Preorder your own NMH weighted pillow now!</a> Subscribe for ad-free, bonus, and extra-long episodes now, as well as ad-free and early episodes of Stories from the Village of Nothing Much!
