LIFE THRESHOLDS
Beginnings & Endings
Honoring endings. Welcoming beginnings. Tending the space between.
There are moments in life when the old way no longer fits, but what comes next is still unclear.
A relationship ends. A new one begins. We leave a job, a home, an identity, a season of life. Something we have known ourselves through falls away. Sometimes the change is chosen. Sometimes it happens to us. And sometimes nothing obvious has happened at all—we simply know that we are no longer who we were.
These are thresholds.
Join us for an evening devoted to the moments of change in our lives—and to meeting them with greater presence and intention.

About
My name is Grady
I’ve spent over 20 years immersed in group work, both as a participant and facilitator. What continues to move me is how powerful it is to step out of isolation and into shared space—where experience can be witnessed, felt, and explored together.
This offering grows out of that foundation, with a focus on how the inner world often takes shape through image.
Rather than approaching images as something to interpret or decode, this work invites a different stance—one of curiosity, patience, and direct experience. Images are treated as living expressions of the psyche, carrying meaning that unfolds over time when given attention.
My background in parts work informs this approach. Images can often be understood as expressions of different parts of the self, and working with them becomes a way of relating to these parts with respect rather than trying to figure them out.
In these spaces, you can expect something grounded and experiential. Less about explanation, more about contact—with what arises internally, and at times, with others in the room. My role is to help create a container that feels steady enough for that kind of exploration.
This work isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about learning how to stay with what emerges, and allowing meaning to take shape in its own time.
