A very sleepy original story about a sunset stroll on Sleep Mountain with the old man, Bodhi and Ninja. You can join the five free launch workshops for Awaken Your Myth by going to ⁠ ⁠https://awakenyourmyth.com⁠⁠. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Get invite!" Tonight’s episode from Sleep Mountain is an original story by Evelyn Rivers and me called The Hidden Forest of Dreams. I’ll be reading it twice, the first time will have some gentle music and sleepy sounds in the background, the second time through will be just the story a little slower, much the same way Kathryn Nicolai does with her original stories about the village of Nothing Much in her wonderful bedtime story podcast, Nothing Much Happens. She has been such an inspiration and a friend to me and if you haven’t yet heard her podcast, I highly recommend it.

In this original story for the Sleep Mountain series, we’ll spend a warm autumn day with mama bear and her cubs in the madrone grove across the canyon. In 2023, every month, I’m going to read at least one original story for you that I wrote myself. The stories are about life here on the mountain, ours as well as all the animals, with some fiction and maybe even a little fantasy woven in. For these episodes, I’ll be reading each story twice, once at my normal pace and then once again a bit slower, much the same way Kathryn Nicolai does with her original stories about the village of Nothing Much in her wonderful bedtime story podcast, Nothing Much Happens. She has been such an inspiration and a friend to me and if you haven’t yet heard her podcast, I highly recommend it. You can find it at https://www.nothingmuchhappens.com.
