In a world shaped by disconnection and inherited patterns, The Wild Threshold of Love invites us back to what matters: courage, presence, and connection. Through grounded movement, simple ritual, and guided inquiry, we explore the edges that shape us and the stories we carry. This workshop offers a steady, embodied space to soften defenses, rekindle vitality, and step into a more honest, connected way of being.
There are moments in life when we’re asked to cross a threshold, to meet the place where fear and longing touch. The Wild Threshold of Love offers a grounded space to move, listen, and soften into what’s true. Through breath, rhythm, and simple ritual, we explore how love can steady us, challenge us, and open the way back to connection. This is not a workshop about romance. This is a journey into the fierce, transformative heart of love itself, the love that challenges us, holds us, confronts us, and ultimately changes us.
Through movement, ritual, and embodied inquiry, we will step across the thresholds that shape our lives: the places we numb, the edges we avoid, the patterns we’ve inherited, and the longings we’ve buried. Together, we explore what becomes possible when we meet these edges with breath, presence, and a willingness to be seen.

This is a space for truth-telling and tenderness. For shaking loose the old stories.
For remembering the vitality that has never left us.
At this threshold, love becomes more than a feeling, it becomes the medicine, the teacher, and the path home to ourselves, to each other, and to the wider field of life.
