September 25th-28th, 2025 10A-3P
True Nature | 100 N 3rd St Carbondale, CO
Led by writers and teachers Kemi Nekvapil, Laura McKowen and Elena Brower, come listen, learn, write, and shift. Exploring the season of life in which we find ourselves, forging relationships with our challenges, cultivating clarity and helping us move forward, our sessions together include contemplative writing, interactive discussion, movement and meditation.
In a handful of potent hours, at Threshold you'll meet yourself, your heart, and your direction, both personally and professionally. Threshold is a gathering of minds, a space in which to slow down and listen, a time to enter into deep quiet in the company of other women.
Expect intervals of gentle seated/standing yoga movement, interactive dialogue, writing prompts and optional sharing, with meditation.
