3 Centered Wisdom as you stand at a Threshold
One cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be of little importance in the evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie. — C. G. Jung
There are moment in our lives when we find ourselves standing at a threshold. These thresholds are a portal of entry to changing, evolving and sometimes painful realities that have much to reveal to us. Our work here is to support you on these thresholds and tap into vibrant, embodied wisdom cultivated through a cycle of life learning, practice and integration. We warmly invite your whole being – mind, heart, and body – in diverse environments, from solitary quietude to individual or group sessions.

Standing At the Threshold Second Half of Life Groups
Join us for the next Thresholds class a transformative 5-week program from October-December 2024, that delves into the 8 PASSAGES we experience in the 2nd half of life.

Each passage has its own developmental hurdle that is first experienced as crisis. With learning, practice and integration, it is a catharsis preparing us for the next passage. And yes, your ENNEAGRAM patterns tend to make us BRACE and miss what this powerful passage can birth inside of us.
.
Hosted by Leslie Hershberger this class is designed to help you navigate times of change and uncertainty, enhance your resilience and aliveness, and better understand your current life Passage.
.
The class offers both an in-person cohort in Ohio and an online option. The registration is capped at 12.

Letting go of your idealized Enneagram persona
It may be stretch that we have to pray for a humiliation a day. It comes on its own unbidden. The question is, will we see it or will we work quickly to rationalize or defend against it? Will we make space for the emotions it elicits? Will we feel it in our bodies? ...
What is this time in your life asking of you?
