Originally Aired: August 20th, 2023 (Season 12, Episode 12)
Our story tonight is called Retreat, and it’s a story about some time spent somewhere quiet and calm. It’s also about paths through a pine forest, the soft experience of living moment to moment and a butterfly finding jasmine as she flits among plants deep in the woods.

Can’t sleep? You’re not alone—and there’s help.
Nothing Much Happens is a bedtime story podcast beloved by millions. Yoga and meditation teacher Kathryn Nicolai tells soothing, cozy stories where—just as the title says—nothing much happens. That’s the magic.
Instead of spiraling thoughts or anxious scrolling, you’ll be gently guided to a calm, comfortable place. Each episode is read twice, with a slower second telling to ease you into rest.
Trusted by listeners for over seven years and streamed more than 180 million times, it’s a ritual of safety, comfort, and sleep.
