Hello Women of Thresholds — I hope this space can serve as a way to maintain contact with each other throughout the program. Good contact makes us powerful, and as much as this is an interior journey, we are also journeying alongside each other. I will continue to add posts here with themes related to our 7 week journey and my hope is that you can spend some time reading the words of your fellow women and adding your own!
Just a bit of housekeeping, boundaries and expectations for this space:
Always be kind.
Follow the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Only offer feedback if it’s requested. This is a place for each of you to share your experiences, not a space for counseling. Sometimes people just want to be seen and heard.
No selling of services or self-promotion.
No politics.
Now, if you agree to these, please introduce yourself below!
I’d love to hear the following: Who you are, where you’re from, what brought you to this program, and what you’re hoping to get out of it.
I’ll go first…
I’m Morgan. I live in Glen Cove, in New York. What brought me to this program is a deep desire to engage with the most mystical side of life. When I first began my yoga teaching journey, nearly 15 years ago, I knew that the practice for me was deeper than the body — it was about my larger human/spiritual experience on the planet. Perennial work naturally came from that, because as I tuned in more fully to myself, I also tuned more fully into the natural world, her rhythms and cycles. I also noticed my own shifting nature. Some moments I was eager to dive into my personal transformation, in other moments I wanted play, some moments I craved community and in other moments I craved solitude. I first began to draw parallels with the lunar phases and then the seasons. Autumn and Winter became deep teachers for me as I embarked on my own dark night of the soul. Many years later, I love exploring this work along side other women because truly going to the depths has showed me how I can live with more joy and authentic self-expression! And heck yes to that!!! I’m hoping that this year in Thresholds I can uncover this next version of myself. I am looking forward to re-establishing some rituals and routines I let fade in the past seasons and explore new ways of connecting with myself and the natural world. I’m so excited to be here with all of you. xoxo
