The Threshold Circle
A Year-Long Passage Through the Crossings Into Sovereignty
Seven crossings. Twelve women. One year. A developmental passage made in the company of women crossing the same ground, where each month opens a depth exploration of a single sovereign crossing: self-reflection, archetypal inquiry, and embodied change. This is depth work, grounded in Jungian psychology. Not a support group. An initiation.

Fall 2026 · A Yearlong Passage · Private Cohort · 12 Women
A year-long passage for women standing at the threshold of the second half of life. Each month moves through one sovereign crossing, explored through guided reflection, archetypal inquiry, and embodied action. A digital journal accompanies each crossing, with reflection prompts and creative activities to activate the imagination and help you integrate what surfaces. Live monthly gatherings and a private cohort hold the year, in the company of women crossing the same ground.

A digital journal for each crossing, with reflection prompts and creative activities that help you integrate what surfaces

Curiosity about what this threshold is asking of you, and trust in what is quietly forming
READINESS FOR WHAT'S NEXT

What's Included
Monthly Live Gatherings
90 minutes once a month, live in our dedicated circle space. A consistent container with the same women, building connection and depth across the year.
Your Private Circle Space
Everything in one place: your digital journal, live gatherings, reflection prompts, and conversation with the women in your cohort. No scattered emails or multiple platforms.
Circle of Women
10-12 women moving through the year together. Small enough to know one another, large enough for diverse perspectives. Connected between gatherings through shared reflection and conversation.
How Each Gathering Unfolds
Opening Ritual
We land. Breathe. Arrive fully. Leave the days behind and enter the circle together.
This Month's Crossing
I offer a brief teaching on the crossing we’re exploring: grounded, accessible, meant to open rather than instruct.
Circle Sharing
Each woman shares what emerged in her reflection and journal work for this crossing. No cross-talk, no fixing. Deep listening. This is where the work deepens.
Your Practice Between Sessions
I introduce the reflection prompts and creative activities in your digital journal to work with before we gather again.
Closing
We close the circle and name what we’re carrying forward.
Between Sessions
The circle continues between gatherings. In your private circle space, you’ll find:
Your digital journal. Each crossing's reflection prompts and creative activities are waiting for you in your private circle space.
Reflection threads. Share what's emerging and read what's surfacing for the women in your cohort.
Ongoing conversation. Questions, insights, and encouragement from the women in your cohort.
Plan for gentle, regular reflection time between gatherings. This is gentle work, not homework. And you’ll never wonder where to find things. It’s all in one place.
Meet Terri Altschul
I’m Terri Altschul, a depth coach and the creator of a body of work accompanying women through the sovereignty crossing of the second half of life.
I spent thirty years as a leader of Leadership, Organizational, and Team Development in Fortune 100 companies, and fifteen more as a depth coach. Somewhere in the second half of my own life, I came to understand that this season asks different questions, questions that only become accessible once you arrive here.
The Threshold Circle is a year-long developmental passage through the crossings into sovereignty. Each month, we move through one crossing together: guided reflection, archetypal inquiry, and embodied change, in the company of women crossing the same ground.
I created this circle because I know what it’s like to stand at a threshold wondering what comes next. And I know how powerful it is to make that crossing alongside other women moving through it too.
I’m an ICF PCC, Certified Integral Coach, and Certified Immunity to Change Coach.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. I'm a coach, not a therapist. The Threshold Circle is developmental work, a guided passage through the crossings of the second half of life. It's not clinical treatment, and it's not a substitute for therapy if that's what you need.
A journal, some magazines you can cut up, a glue stick, and whatever coloring materials you have around (colored pencils, markers). Simple supplies you likely already own.
The circle is built on shared reflection, and your presence and voice are part of what makes it work. But you share what you want, to the depth you're comfortable with. There's no pressure to disclose more than feels right, and no one is ever put on the spot. You set the edge of your own sharing.
When is the next Threshold Circle?
The next cohort gathers in Fall 2026. Exact dates will be announced this summer.
Join the waitlist and you'll be the first to know.
Once the circle has begun, there are no refunds. Your commitment matters, to yourself and to the other women in the circle. This is why we keep the group small: every seat counts. If you need to withdraw before the circle begins, reach out and we'll talk.
The Circle is Gathering Fall 2026
The threshold is a powerful place, a space between what was and what’s becoming.
