ENCOUNTER | THRESHOLD CIRCLE
Death is not a subject we are taught to sit with.
And yet, somewhere beneath the avoidance, most of us carry it — questions we haven’t spoken aloud, losses that changed the shape of us, a quiet wondering about what it all means.
Threshold Circle is a place to bring all of it.
Once a month, we gather — in person, unhurried, over tea — to explore mortality, loss, and the thresholds that mark a human life. Not as a problem to be solved, but as a mystery to be entered together.
The awareness of death has long been understood as one of the most potent doorways into fully living. In many traditions, sitting with impermanence is not morbid — it is a practice of waking up. Threshold Circle creates space for that kind of inquiry, in community, free from fear or taboo.
You do not have to speak. You do not have to have answers, or even formed questions. You are welcome to listen, to reflect, to simply be present alongside others who are willing to go to the tender places.
We have found that people arrive with a natural instinct for kindness. Something opens when we give ourselves permission to speak honestly about what it means to be alive — and to know that we will die.
Threshold Circle is held monthly, in person. I co-facilitate with my fellow end-of-life doula Alyssa Walters. All are welcome.
