How many times in recent years have you heard someone say, “We are living in unprecedented times”?

​

It seems to us that the interconnected systems underpinning ‘Business as Usual’—the habits, assumptions, and structures of modernity that promise certainty, control, and endless progress—are unraveling. The stability and predictability we once relied on—what is familiar, known, and expected—can no longer be counted on. As we leave behind these familiar certainties, we find ourselves at a threshold, facing a future that feels increasingly unknowable.

​

To cross this threshold is to step into the liminal space between what was and what is yet to come. It is an act of courage and surrender, an invitation to let go of the false comforts of certainty and open ourselves to the fertile ground of uncertainty, complexity, and interconnectedness. The challenges we face—both personally and collectively—cannot be solved with the same tools that created them. Instead, they ask us to imagine and create new ways of being in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the more-than-human world.

​​

Stepping across the threshold is not a single act but an ongoing practice of attuning to the unknown. It calls on us to sense, adapt, and navigate in emergent ways, moment by moment, with presence, vulnerability, and resilience. And perhaps most importantly, it invites us to learn how to do this together, discovering new possibilities through community, collaboration, and connection.

Crossing the Threshold is a nine-day residential community experience designed to support this exploration. Through experiential workshops, systemic practices, ritual, shared inquiry, and hands-on collaboration, it creates a space to engage deeply with these questions at the intersection of the personal and the collective. Together, we will explore what it means to navigate the shifting ground of this moment in human history—with presence, creativity, and care.

What This Course Offers 

​

• Navigating Uncertainty: Tools and practices to cultivate resilience and presence amid the unfolding polycrisis.

• A Map of Resilience: We will explore a layered map of resilience across five interconnected realms:

  • Personal emotional/psychological resilience

  • Group/team resilience

  • Community resilience

  • Ecosystem resilience

  • Connection to transpersonal, archetypal, and ancestral realms

• Community Building: Develop skills and frameworks to foster resilient and adaptive communities, whatever your context. 

• Practical Collaboration: Over three days, we’ll engage in a shared practical task, such as constructing a timber-growing room or cabin (tbc) for the Bjärkan project. This hands-on work will develop skills in group collaboration, problem-solving, and practical craftsmanship.

• Inner and Collective Work: Explore how personal growth and healing intersect with larger systemic shifts.  

• Rituals for Transition: Engage in meaningful rituals to support our capacity to sit in the liminal unknown spaces

• Shared Connection: Be part of a network of seekers and changemakers grappling with similar questions about these times.
