The Threshold

A six-week circle for teen girls

There is a particular kind of loneliness that can come with growing up — the feeling that your body is changing faster than anyone is talking about, that your emotions are too big or too confusing to name, that you are becoming someone new but no one has marked it yet.

In many cultures, this passage was held and witnessed. In our current world, those threshold moments often go unmarked. This circle is for that.

Over six weeks we gather outside — hikes, beach walks, fireside circles. Each session begins in the body: grounding, breath, presence. From there we follow the thread of what's alive, through honest conversation and the kind of reflection that actually goes somewhere.

We move through themes that are alive right now, in your life, in your body:

Voice — finding it, using it, trusting it Boundaries — not as rules, but as self-knowledge Cycles — your body's rhythms as information, not inconvenience Belonging — what it actually feels like, and how to find it Self-trust — the slow, real kind Becoming — marking your own threshold

Everyone's experience belongs here. We welcome the laughter and the hard stuff equally.

We close with a ceremony in nature — a moment that says: you were seen here, in this time of becoming, and it mattered.
