​Claire and ​the Sisters of Assisi
This bedtime story for adults continues the journey that began in the earlier tale, Claire and the SageWoman.
In this installment, seventeen-year-old Claire embarks on a hero’s journey as she grapples with loneliness and seeks to understand the deeper meaning of life and death.

​ Her path takes an unexpected turn when she meets a Swedish nun in Minnesota, who introduces her to the remarkable life and spiritual wisdom of St. Clare of Assisi. Through this encounter, Claire discovers new perspectives on love, purpose, and belonging, setting in motion a profound inner transformation.

Music: Beautiful Instrumental Ambient Mystical Celtic by Matti Paalanen Michikawa 
and Hyperborean Gales Chant  pt 1 Charodey  Andrei Marisyi  

from Pond 5.


Listener Feedback
Beautiful! I sincerely hope that there are more "Claire" stories in the future!

Her voice was soothing, the store was intriguing. The way the story was told I could feel her emotions and it put me into a deep sleep.

Excellent, so much meaning to this ,but only one chance to tell you. Too tired right.now, just please believe it is beautiful, I will play it often & look for more stories about Claire, thank yoio in Houston, TX, USA

Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻I had been listening yesterday night, fell asleep rather quickly. Last night, I decided to listen to the story that came before, the one of Claire and the sage woman. This morning, when I woke up around 4 am, I listened to both stories again, for the first time hearing them both fully. Somehow, whatever was transpiring in the stories mingled with my own grief journey, right now approaching the first anniversary of my husband's transitioning, and it felt comforting and hopeful and light bringing. Feeling grateful right now🙏🏻💙😇🦋🌅🌟✨💫
Wonderful journey into how our lives unfold and what awaits us! Thank you, Glenda, I love this story of Claire and how she found the Divine! And the songs from the 70's brought delight and a few chills when read! Will listen again!

What a lovely surprise to find this meditation. I've had a wrestles night, it's now 4am. I'm excited to share an exquisitly beautiful New meditation about St Claire de Assisi I just discovered just now!!! But would recommend you listen to the one about sage woman first, as they are sequential, but they are both incredibly moving in their respective ways independently. Happy listening!!

I fell asleep near the end but I’ll listen again as I absolutely loved this story. It’s the type of story I loved as a kid. Thank you, Glenda❤️

Stunning and beautiful . Thank you Glenda . I feel as if you wrote this just for me! Peace . You are my favorite teacher !
