Michelle's Sanctuary

The laundry club meets once a week in the cozy basement launderette of a historic brownstone. On a rainy night, you travel back in time and meet with four urban characters in a city of dreamers and artists.  The smell of fresh laundry, the hypnotic sound of falling rain, and the hum of dryers soothe you. You enjoy tea and fresh pastries at this convivial gathering before you return to your dream apartment with bedding that smells clean and is still warm from the dryer. You make your bed and snuggle with a pet as you fall asleep to the sound of falling rain. It's time to dream away. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michelles-sanctuary/support

With an exclusive invitation, you ride a train through coastal villages in summer. You disembark, guided by a hand-drawn map towards a hidden garden. You unlock the door with a skeleton key and discover a mystical fountain where you light a floating candle and make a wish. A rose petal path leads you to the garden suite, where you enjoy a meal and outdoor bath or shower. You climb into a four-poster bed beneath a canopy of purple wisteria as the fireflies and stars come together to spell out healing messages. It's time to dream away. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/michelles-sanctuary/support

Imagine the most beautiful islands set in the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean. You arrive on a small motorboat with a dear companion and explore the underwater world, snorkeling until sunset.

Float on the Golden Wasan in the moat that surrounds the Osaka Castle before exploring the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. Beneath a cotton candy sky, you engage in the ancient ritual of hanami or "flower watching." "This moment, but once," is a Japanese proverb that reminds you that moments are fleeting and should be savored. The cherry blossoms form a cloud and you float across the starry night sky.
