The Sleep Garden

Step through the garden gate and discover a gentler way to meet the end of your day. The Sleep Garden is a seven-day journey designed to help you understand some of the common challenges that can make it difficult to settle at night; from a busy mind and a body that still feels “wired,” to lingering worries, unfinished thoughts, and the pressure to make sleep happen. Each lesson explores a simple mindfulness-based approach to rest, followed by an optional guided sleep meditation that brings the day’s teaching to life through the imaginative world of the garden. Along the way, you’ll visit the Moon Pond, Lavender Meadow, Wishing Tree, Moss Library, Hummingbird Sanctuary, and Starlight Conservatory. Through these practices, you’ll learn to relate differently to nighttime thoughts, help the body transition from doing to resting, set down what you cannot carry tonight, and give unfinished problems permission to wait until morning. Rather than forcing sleep, The Sleep Garden invites you to create the conditions for rest; one quiet step at a time. By the end of our journey, you’ll have a collection of simple practices and familiar garden imagery you can return to whenever you need a little help letting go of the day.
