your arrival is anticipated
Siri tells you where to turn, but you feel relieved when you see a sign and balloons in the air. Once you park, you know you’re in the right place. You can smell the incense. You see a sign on the door, and once you open it, there’s someone who knows your name.
Everything is clear: where to put your things, where to get something to drink, where the bathroom is. You don’t have any questions, because everything is taken care of.
There’s an extra bolster because of your lower back, and a pen and paper. We know you don’t like mint tea. You’ll eat whatever you like, because we know dairy doesn’t agree with you.
You’ll see faces you recognize, because people have been showing up just like you. And you welcome the new faces, remembering how good it felt to be seen the first time you arrived.
You’re just wondering what you’ll taste, who you’ll meet, and what you’ll find out about yourself and life.
You don’t have to arrive with a problem. You don’t have to leave transformed.
what's included
Monthly workshops
One 2 to 2½-hour gathering every month, with a new question and a different way in — sound, breath, movement, stillness, and something you've probably never tried before. A steady place to practice showing up.
Thresholds mini retreats
Four 5½-hour days across the year, each a real pause rather than another item on your calendar. Time to be; move, eat, listen, share, experience life without rushing to get somewhere else, including “better.”
Group Zoom meetups
Short online gatherings between in-person events. Reconnect, hear what's coming next, and share something you've noticed if you want to. Listening counts.
Members-only pop-up
One additional experience created just for this group — a special practice, conversation, outing, or something that doesn't fit anywhere else. Details to be revealed I'm so excited to share this with you!!!
A little something to take home
A little reminder to carry with you at the end of each happening: something to hold, to smell, to see, or to taste.
Off both 2027 full retreats
One domestic, one international — both all-inclusive, sold separately. At current prices your two discounts add up to $390. Bring a guest at the same 20% off, on each retreat.
If you have to miss one
Can't make a monthly workshop? Give your spot to someone else, up to two times during the year. Just let Andrea know in advance.
This is 20 shared experiences with enough continuity for something to actually accumulate.
“Not knowing Andrea personally at all, I still felt a sense of comfortableness and welcoming aura from her… leaving the day with what were recent strangers became a new connection.”
this is for you if
- You're curious and you'd rather try something than read about it.
- You want to make time for yourself throughout the year, even if you don't want to or think you can't.
- You're willing to enter a room without knowing exactly what you'll feel when you leave. You can let other people have their own experience, too.
this may not be your year if
- You'd rather choose one event at a time than commit to a full year.
- You need every gathering to give you an answer, or make you feel better.
- You're looking for a therapy group. We may talk about what happened in an exercise, but no one will ask you to unpack your life. What you share, and what it means to you, are yours to decide.
why a whole year?
One afternoon can stay with you. Then you go home. You do the dishes, answer the texts, have a great week, then a shitty one. Then you forget. And remember. And can't put your finger on “it” after a while.
A year is the return. It’s the luxury of knowing you’ve made a space for you, a space to be. Something to look forward to. To plan for. To come back to. A container to marinate in.
You may arrive in January wanting clarity and arrive in July wanting rest. You may miss a month, come back distracted, or find that the thing you needed wasn’t the thing you expected. A year can hold all of that: not a promise that every gathering will change you, but a commitment to making space for what can.
At the end of the year, you may find that spending this much time with yourself is overrated. Or that it’s not nearly enough.
