Synopsis:

Olivia leaves the gray calm of Seattle for the luminous stillness of the north, seeking peace beneath skies painted in green and gold. Her journey begins in Iceland, where waterfalls thunder over moss-covered cliffs and steam drifts from blue lagoons into the cold morning air. From there, she travels to Norway, crossing mountains by train, gliding through misted fjords, and resting in a quiet cabin above a silver valley. Each day moves like a breath — slow, vivid, unhurried.

As the aurora begins to appear in the night sky, Olivia’s path leads onward to Sweden, where cobblestone streets and candlelit cafés offer warmth against the winter chill. She sketches lakeside cottages, listens to the hush of falling snow, and learns the simple grace of stillness. The northern lights return one final time, shimmering above frozen lakes and open fields, guiding her toward a quiet understanding of herself and the world.

Under the Northern Lights is a gentle, immersive sleep storya mindful journey through Iceland, Norway, and Sweden — written to soothe the senses, calm the heart, and drift the listener peacefully into dreams.
