The Threshing Floor

A THREE MONTH CROSSING WHERE THE HUSK FALLS AWAY

You’ve been waiting for this feeling to pass.

How long are you prepared to keep waiting?

From BeckY

It is the ‘buts’ in their sentences that are the dead giveaways that they have stayed too long."
Clarissa Pinkola Estés ~ Women Who Run With The Wolves

I should, but…
I want to, but…
I know, but…

I bet you’ve been finishing that sentence for a while now...

There’s a point where something in your life is done, you know it's over, but you haven’t quite let it go yet.

Or you have let it go, and now you’re standing there thinking… what now?

You know yourself.

You’ve done the therapy. You’ve read the books. You could do a TED Talk on your behaviour patterns.

And still… something isn’t moving.

This is the bit most people try to rush through.

The bit where you don’t quite know who you are anymore, but you’re not willing to go back to who you were.

You can feel something building, or ending, or both at the same time.

And it would be much easier if someone could just tell you what to do next.

But that’s not how this works.

what happens on

The Threshing Floor

The Threshing Floor is a small group for women who are exactly in this place.

Women who are not at the beginning, who already have great self-awareness and understanding.

Women already know what needs to happen, but they keep circling, looping back, and driving themselves crazy.

We meet over three months.

Six evenings, spaced out, so this isn’t something you rush through or power your way past.

We use Women Who Run With the Wolves as the entry point, but this isn’t about analysing the book or using it as a textbook.

It’s about what it brings up in you, and what you do with that once it’s there.

" A life that continues to remain on the safe side of its own habits and repetitions, that never engages with risk of its own possibility, remains an unlived life"

john O'donohue · Benedictus

what happens on

The Threshing Floor

At some point in these three months, you can find yourself saying or doing the thing you’ve been circling for far longer than you care to admit, and noticing, that you didn’t collapse afterwards.

Not because you’ve finally worked it all out.

But because you stayed with what you already knew, long enough to move with it.

We meet six times over three months.

Wednesday evenings 8pm. Online. Small group.

Each session is 90 minutes.

There’s also a WhatsApp group between sessions, where the work continues in real life, not just on the calls.

wolf pack testimony

“I felt like I was living life on the surface, outwardly succeeding, but something in me knew there was more. I started trusting myself again and made decisions I’d been avoiding.”

“I didn’t change because I read a book. I changed because I became part of a pack.”

“Over time I felt myself come back to life. I could see what mattered to me again, and actually move towards it.”

your threshold guide

Holding the torch for you

I’ve been working with women for over twenty years, originally as a therapist, and now as a Threshold Guide.

I’m less interested in analysing why you are the way you are, and more interested in whether you can stay with what’s already there, long enough for you to make that shift that you keep thinking about at 5 am.

I’ll hold the space and shine the light, I'm not here to tell you what to do.
