13-day Companion
For people whose evenings still feel like work.
When your body is home but your mind is still in meetings, evenings can start to feel like a second shift.
Quieter Evenings is a 13-day companion built to change that on purpose.
You receive one tiny gift each evening that helps your nervous system change gear, until your nights begin to feel more like an exhale than an overflow.
Instead of another course to complete, you receive one tiny gift each evening – a short, evidence-informed practice that helps your nervous system change gear, until your nights begin to feel more like an exhale than an overflow.
Approx. 52 USD / 39 GBP / 42 CHF / 72 CAD / 78 AUD.
One-time payment. No subscription. Lifetime access.
Quieter Evenings is for you if most nights look something like this:
You get home, but your mind is still replaying conversations, emails and small mistakes.
You find yourself checking your phone “one last time” long past the moment you wanted to be done.
You sit on the sofa, but it takes a long time before your body actually feels like it’s allowed to sink in.
You tell yourself you will have a “quiet night”, and somehow the hours disappear in scrolling, snacking or background work.
You go to bed tired, but your system still feels switched on, as if the day hasn’t properly ended.
If this feels familiar, Quieter Evenings is built to help you switch off after work more reliably and to change the texture of your nights, one tiny moment at a time.
Over these 13 days, this companion gently helps you to:
Notice when your system is still in ‘work mode’ even though you are technically off the clock.
Create tiny closing rituals for the day, so your evenings stop feeling like an extension of your inbox.
Give your nights a softer rhythm, with small checkpoints that say: “Now it’s time to land.”
Let go of the idea that evenings must be “productive” to be worthwhile.
Arrive in bed with a little more softness, so sleep doesn’t have to start with a battle.
We don’t promise a perfect routine.
We focus on small, realistic shifts that your nervous system can actually use.
You don’t see a long curriculum or a list of tasks.
You see one small step at a time.
You start by noticing where your evenings really are right now – when you tend to stay “on”, and what it feels like when your system starts to let go, even for a moment.
You receive tiny nervous-system gifts and story-shift scenes that gently re-route how you step into the evening: in the doorway, at the kitchen table, on the sofa, in bed.
You quietly reinforce the shifts that felt most helpful, so your body can remember the new rhythm even after the companion ends.
By the end of the 13 days, your evenings are unlikely to be perfect.
But they can feel less like a spill-over of the day and more like a place your system knows how to soften into.
We don’t list all 13 gifts in advance, so your companion can unfold with a little surprise.
But here are two tiny examples of what an evening gift might feel like:
One gift invites you to stand for one quiet minute at the border between “outside” and “home” – in the doorway or on the stairs – and simply notice your breath arriving a little lower in your body before you walk in.
Another walks you through your evening as if you were watching yourself with gentle curiosity from across the room, seeing not failures and undone tasks, but a human being who has already done enough for one day.
Each gift is designed to shift your evening by a few degrees, not to overhaul your life overnight.
Every gift in Quieter Evenings comes in the same gentle formats as our other companions:
Read it (in silence).
A short, clear text that speaks to you like a kind, honest friend, not like a teacher.
Read it with piano music underneath.
The same words, held by selected piano piece, for when you want a little more beauty without needing more effort.
Listen to a calm voice.
The same gift read by a quiet voice, with no music, for when your eyes and mind have had enough of screens.
Let voice and music hold you.
A soft voice with a subtle background layer, for moments when you want to feel accompanied rather than instructed.
You can choose the softest way your system can say yes to that day.
Each gift takes about one to five minutes. No more.
Note: the solo piano piece is selected, performed and recorded by George.
Use it under the gifts, or play it on its own, whenever you want a quieter background.
Quieter Evenings is created for people who already feel tired, not for people looking for a new challenge.
One tiny gift per day.
You never open a pile of exercises – only one small thing at a time.
Two versions for each gift.
A full version for nights with a bit more room, and an even tinier version for rough days.
No streaks, no guilt.
There are no points, streak counters or “you missed a day” messages. If you skip an evening, the companion simply waits.
Clear edges.
It lasts 13 days. It ends. You can always repeat it, but there is no endless subscription, no pressure to “keep up”.
The aim is not to turn you into a perfectly calm person.
The aim is to help your evenings feel a little safer, softer and more truly yours.
By the end of the 13 days, most people notice at least one or two evenings a week that feel clearly gentler, less like a spill-over of the day and more like a place to land.
Gentle safety note: this companion is educational and supportive, not medical advice. If you are in immediate danger, feel unable to keep yourself safe, or need urgent help, please contact your local emergency services or a trusted professional.
When you purchase this companion, you receive:
Full access to the 13-day Quieter Evenings companion in your Not a Course space.
Eight light nervous-system gifts and five magical story-shift gifts, arranged in a carefully tested pattern.
Four ways to receive each gift: text only, text + piano soundtrack, voice only, and voice + musical bed.
All future refinements we might quietly add to this companion.
Approx. 52 USD / 39 GBP / 42 CHF / 72 CAD / 78 AUD.
One-time payment. No subscription. Lifetime access.
You keep access for as long as you have your login, and you are free to return to these gifts whenever your evenings start to tighten again.
Quieter Evenings might be the right companion for you if:
You feel that most of your stress leaks into the evening, not just into your working hours.
You don’t have the space for therapy or big changes right now, but you do have one to five minutes most evenings.
A small part of you is quietly hoping that nights could feel different – not perfect, but softer.
If another area of your life feels more suitable – such as holding others together or feeling almost burned out – one of our other companions might meet you better.
If, as you read this, someone specific comes to mind –
a partner, a parent, a sibling, a friend who comes home wired every night –
you can also give Quieter Evenings to them as a unique and private gift.
We’ll send a beautiful, personalised digital voucher with:
a tender invitation into a quieter space
simple, clear instructions where to go and how to start
a personal gift code that unlocks their companion with a price of 0
If you’d like, we can also add their name, your name, and either a short message from you or a warm standard dedication from us – so it feels unmistakably meant for them.
You can choose to give the voucher yourself or ask us to send it directly, with or without your name.
If there is even a small part of you that wants your evenings to feel different,
Quieter Evenings is here to walk beside you for thirteen nights and see what can gently shift.
