Door Teresa McLean

Wat je zal leren

There are moments in life when you’re no longer who you once were, but not yet who you’re becoming. These in-between seasons can feel tender… disorienting… hopeful… and frightening all at once. They’re thresholds—sacred pauses where old identities fall away and new selves begin to form beneath the surface. This 10-day course is a gentle guide for anyone moving through a transition, whether it’s a change in work, relationships, identity, home, spiritual awareness, or the quiet inner shifts that reshape your life from the inside out. Each lesson offers a soft, embodied practice to help you… - honour the wisdom of the in-between - slow down enough to hear your body’s guidance - meet fear without becoming it - release old roles and energetic contracts - trust your “yes,” your “no,” and your “not yet” - soften the freeze response - notice signs and synchronicities that affirm your path - call forward the version of yourself you’re growing toward - stabilize in your new frequency with clarity and compassion What you’ll experience is not force or pressure, but gentle becoming. Through breath, somatic cues, tiny rituals, and inner-mother wisdom, this course helps you cross your threshold in a way your body can hold—slowly, safely, and with deep self-trust. You don’t have to rush this transition. You only have to walk it with presence. If you’ve felt change stirring inside you… If you’re in the space between worlds… If you know you can’t go back but aren’t sure how to go forward… This course will meet you right where you are. A softer life is waiting on the other side of your threshold. Take this step gently.

The Anatomy Of A Threshold

There are moments in life when you can feel that something is changing, even if you don’t yet know what comes next. In this opening lesson, you’ll gently name the threshold you’re standing in and learn why the in-between can feel disorienting, tender, and meaningful all at once. You’ll begin anchoring into your body as a source of steadiness and learn how to meet this transition with curiosity rather than urgency.

Stillness Before Direction

Transitions often bring a pause where clarity hasn’t arrived yet and forward movement feels unclear. In this lesson, you’ll explore why stillness is not a failure or delay, but a necessary phase of integration for the nervous system. You’ll be guided to soften into waiting, trust the wisdom of quiet moments, and release the pressure to know what comes next before your body is ready.

Meeting Fear Without Becoming It

Fear often rises when we step into unfamiliar territory, especially during times of change. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to meet fear with compassion rather than resistance, understanding it as a protective response instead of a warning sign. Through gentle somatic awareness, you’ll practice staying connected to yourself while fear is present, without letting it take the lead.

Quieting The Old Stories

During transitions, old identities, roles, and survival patterns can resurface, pulling you back toward what once felt familiar. In this lesson, you’ll gently explore the stories and roles you may have outgrown, and why they tend to reappear during change. You’ll practice softening their grip with compassion, honouring how they once protected you while creating space for who you’re becoming now.

Softening The Freeze Response

When change feels overwhelming, the body may respond by slowing everything down through freeze. In this lesson, you’ll learn to recognize freeze as a protective nervous system response rather than a personal failure. Through tiny movements and gentle awareness, you’ll practice thawing at a pace your body can trust, learning how small steps can create safety and momentum without force.

Listening For The Body's 'Yes'

Your body carries a quiet intelligence that often knows what’s right long before your mind does. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to recognize the physical sensations of a body-based yes, no, and not-yet. By tuning into subtle cues of softening, relief, or contraction, you’ll begin building self-trust and letting your next steps be guided by resonance rather than pressure.

Les 7

Releasing Old Energetic Contracts

Many of us carry unconscious agreements formed in childhood, trauma, or past relationships—roles we took on to stay safe, loved, or accepted. In this lesson, you’ll gently identify and release the energetic contracts that no longer fit who you are becoming. With compassion and grounding, you’ll honour the parts of you that carried these roles while inviting a new way of relating to yourself and the world.

Les 8

Becoming The One You're Growing Toward

Change doesn’t require you to reinvent yourself—it invites you to remember who you are beneath old adaptations. In this lesson, you’ll meet the emerging version of yourself that is quietly forming during this transition. Through embodied awareness and gentle imagination, you’ll explore identity expansion without pressure, allowing your next self to arrive gradually, safely, and in a way your nervous system can hold.

Rituals For Crossing

Crossing a threshold is not only a mental decision—it’s a somatic and symbolic experience. In this lesson, you’ll explore the role of ritual, signs, and meaningful gestures in supporting transitions. You’ll be guided to create a simple, personal crossing ritual that anchors your intention in your body, helping you step forward with clarity, presence, and a sense of being supported.

Les 10

Living In The New Frequency

Crossing a threshold is only the beginning. In this final lesson, you’ll focus on integration—learning how to live gently inside the new frequency you’ve stepped into. You’ll explore how to stabilize change through everyday choices, self-trust, and nervous system care, so your becoming doesn’t feel fragile or rushed. This lesson supports you in carrying your transition forward with steadiness, compassion, and belonging.
