The audiobook version of Christine’s fairy tale for thresholds and transitions is here! Narrated by Christine and several local actor friends in Galway along with some wonderful songs created by musician and wisdom council member Te Martin to companion the journey. Give yourself the gift of receiving this pilgrimage of the heart through the magic of oral storytelling and song. 

You can order the audiobook from Bandcamp

You can order the print version with amazing artwork from online and local booksellers 

In the coming weeks it will also be available on Audible and Apple books, but to support independent artists, Bandcamp is best.
