Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep
Let me know in the comment if you want autumn stories to keep coming or if you have another story in mind for next week!
🍁 After crafting many beloved autumn journeys set in the Northeastern US, I wanted to take us abroad to the Netherlands in this week’s sleep story.
“Rainy Autumn in the Old City,” brings us to the charming city of Utrecht, exploring its canals, cozy shops, and historic grandeur against the backdrop of peak fall foliage. Settle into a warm townhouse fireside while gentle rain sounds help you fall into a deep sleep. It’s time to dream away.
Tonight at 6 PM EST, you can stream here:

Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep
I’ve been yearning for the crisp air of autumn, and it met me this morning after returning from a few summer-like days at the beach with Ike. I created this meditation to celebrate the beauty that fall brings.
Every season offers us a vital lesson. With autumn comes the chance to acknowledge what to let go of and what keeps us rooted in our essence. This week’s guided sleep meditation @MichellesMeditationSanctuary takes you to an Ancient Autumn Forest where you may release the things that weigh you down and embrace your core self amid vibrant foliage. Snuggle into a cozy cabin by a stream—the haven that resides within you—as the gentle sounds of the forest usher you to deep sleep. It’s time to dream away.
Live at 6PM EST, tonight October 1st!

Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep
Born and raised in Upstate NY 🍎, there may have been times I took the beauty of the Hudson Valley for granted. But as an adult, I find the seasonal changes to be vital to my happiness and they find their way into each cozy story I write. 🍂
While upstate for a wedding last week, I encountered an old historic country road that offers stone cottage tours each autumn. It was the perfect inspiration for this week’s new sleep story, “The Stone Cottages of Orchard Lane.”
Snuggle up and prepare for the coziest autumn tour of 18th-century stone cottages before arriving at a historic bed and breakfast. Relax fireside 🔥 as rain begins to fall, lulling you into a deep sleep. It’s time to dream away.
Live at 6PM EST, Sunday Sept 28th!

Drift away to the charming coastal village of Camden, Maine, where you’ll wander through town, a cool breeze carrying the scent of decaying leaves and the sea. A peaceful kayak ride in the bay brings you to The Autumn Cottage, where you revel in all things autumn. A fiery sunset, leaf collecting, a cleansing ritual, simmering apples and baking spices, and steamy pumpkin soup enjoyed fireside all serve to celebrate the coziness of the season. So snuggle up and prepare for an enchanting escape. It’s time to dream away.

Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep
Ready to unwind on a Sunday night? I have a cozy escape for you. ✨
If you've listened to many of my stories over the years, you may see a trend of my passionate celebration of the shoulder season in beloved beach towns. The beach crowds dwindle and the hint of autumn lingers in the air. This week's story, "The Cranberry Cottage," brings us on a journey to a hidden cottage on Cape Cod, nestled beyond a pine forest, overlooking a vast cranberry bog. Imagine crisp night air, the scent of pine, and the gentle crackle of a fire as as you settle in this historic cottage and fall asleep.
Settle in and find your peace with this cozy sleepy tale. It's time to dream away.
It's available to stream at 6 PM EST tonight.

Michelle's Sanctuary Stories for Sleep
Have you ever found instant solace looking up at a starry sky, that awestruck feeling of its infinite space and your place within it? It is a feeling I have often chased. Even with city lights dimming the stars, I find a quiet spot to watch the moon over Central Park Lake, perched on an ancient rock where my problems become smaller.
Tonight's meditation over @MichellesMeditationSanctuary, "Drifting in Moonlight: Stargazing Sleep Affirmations" is an odyssey to a peaceful place. This cosmic journey will help you let go of the day's weight and align your energy with the tranquil universe, all to the calming backdrop of brown noise. It is the perfect bedtime meditation to quiet your mind and body. It is time to dream away.
