Text reading 'Inquirry at the Edge' in stylized large font.

Inquiry at the Edge boosts our curiosity and invites us to explore the thresholds and changes in our lives. A threshold can be a solitary edge, and within community, it becomes a shared frontier.

Where Questions Become
The Path

Allowing time to observe our journey and reflect on our responses, sets the stage for questions to arrive. Questions might challenge us and they also can inspire us. The questions themselves create a path.

How will I address my fear?

•

What helps me to be present?

•

Will I risk being vulnerable?

What feeds my soul?

    Facing What We Avoid

    May 2, 2026 ~ Online with Gail. 10 am - 11:30 am, PDT

    ‘You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.” ~Ayn Rand

    This workshop offers the opportunity to explore the landscape of our avoidance. We might avoid what we fear or don’t understand. We can retreat and move into a fixed place. Anger or hurt can cause us to avoid communicating.

    Avoidance can lead to a tangled or isolated place where we don’t have the clarity or support to understand what we need to move forward. How do we find ways to navigate these difficult places?

    Please join us as we explore this inquiry and share with one another!
