441: Thresholds

About this episode

The episode discusses how to navigate life's inevitable transitions with wisdom and compassion.

Crossing thresholds in life - birth, death, loss, love, discovery, confusion - is inevitable. How can we do this in a way that recognises the mystery of each of life's great transitions, and which honours how each changes us? And how can we be ones who are wise, compassionate and courageous as we witness and accompany others through those inevitable transitions, without turning away? We recorded this conversation in front of a live audience of Thirdspace alumni, at our March 2026 Retreat. This week's Turning Towards Life is hosted as always by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
