Bear witness with love.

These are tender stories bravely shared. Thank you for holding love in your heart as you read. No shaming or blaming.

Share how you are touched.

Writers would love to hear what moved you, resonated, shifts something in you.
Sharing an “echo”, or writing verbatim a word or phrase that stands out is a powerful and simple way to communicate your resonance.

Avoid fixing.

Posts are not shared with the intention of finding answers, even if questions are asked. Thank you for avoiding giving advice.

Avoid debate:

These offerings are not for the intention of debating ideas, concepts, or what is “right.” We are bearing witness to a person’s experience.

“Time with others willing to open their stories in collected writings is amazing. It allows sharing without “too much” while we process our own grief and amplify understanding.”

-Mary Louise M.

What is Threshold Transformations:

A Holy Lament Blog?

Holy Lament is Wild Heart's ongoing grief community that explores 12 thresholds of grief as spiritual practice on the journey of loss and longing.

Holy Lament members receive weekly writing prompts from Mirabai Starr. Writing as spiritual practice is the alchemical fire that supports our broken-open hearts to be witnessed and held in the process of transformation.

Threshold Transformations is an invitation to Holy Lament members to more widely share glimpses from their journey.

You are invited to bear witness with a compassionate heart.
