take 5 hours to slow down long enough to notice.
not because you're broken. not because you need fixing. but because you might be surprised by what you notice when you stop trying so hard. come as you are.
leave knowing where you are.

a ˈthre-ˌshōld can be a stop & a start
a boundary or a trigger
a place to see & be seen
each step we take is from here to there · known or unknown · expected or anew
at this particular threshold you will: move a little. breathe a little, write. eat really good food. spend sometime outside. rest. be quiet. laugh out loud. listen. be touched. and spend sometime in honest conversation, with yourself.
free parking free lunch
there is nothing missing from you. and if it feels like there is; it’s probably you. you’re missing.
you’re the answer.
i believe you. you read the book. or most of it. you listened to that podcast. you saved the article. liked the post. loved the reel. signed. up. showed up. even broke a sweat.
Why?
and still here you are. at another threshold wondering how you got here, where you came from and where you’re headed.
you don’t need to answer any of these questions to move forward. you could just get out of the fucking way and have a direct experience of life. your life.
you and me, baby!
i’m not here to convince you of who i am. i am here to create the conditions for you to see who you are. that's what i’ve been up to for over 20 years.
your greatest teachers won't be found in studios, ashrams, or trainings. you’ll find them in ordinary life. in extraordinary heartbreak, joy, illness, bad haircuts, and those mistakes you wouldn’t take back. you’ll find them in each other.
everyone and everything belongs. whatever you’ve lived through or are living through, you are here now. on a threshold. wherever and however you are, I can’t wait to meet you there.
but more importantly, i can’t wait for you to meet you there.
jai!
Wh0?
being witnessed is one of the most potent medicines i’ve ever observed. i’ve yet to not see it make a difference in person’s experience.
see and be seen.
