Welcome to The Threshold
Courting the Sacred Mystery
Welcome.
I’m grateful you’ve found your way here.
May something in these words, these offerings, stir the ancient remembering within you—the part of you that has always known it came here for something sacred.
You have a gift. Not the kind stamped by resumes or degrees, but the soul-offering you brought into this life with you. Maybe it’s gone quiet. Maybe it was never fully named. But I believe—fiercely and tenderly—that it can be remembered. That it wants to be remembered.
And though the journey is yours, it was never meant to be walked alone.
What I offer here are rites, stories, and sacred containers to help you return—to the Earth, to your gift, to the unshakable knowing that you belong.
If something in you is quickening, pulling you toward deeper ground—welcome. I’ll meet you there.
In reverence,
John

“I’ve been on a self-guided journey of personal transformation for several years, following breadcrumbs without a clear path. Those breadcrumbs led me to John, who has filled a much needed void as both mentor and guide. Prior to my work with John I spent a lot of time in deep meditation, cultivating a loving awareness that often felt dissociated from my body and disconnected from my grief, my anger and my vitality. John has helped me anchor down, has supported me through the painful dissolution of my marriage, and has helped to spare me many dead ends on the spiritual path. I’m deeply grateful to John for his wisdom, his courage to challenge me when necessary, and his tenderness in holding me when I feel raw.” -Rick Ramirez

“John has a gentle, honest presence that helps me continue to do difficult emotional work rather than avoid it or rationalize. His approach addresses the whole person and is so much more complete than approaches to healing I’ve encountered in the past.” -Amy Walsh

“Sometimes in life there is a need for someone who is not a parent, a friend or a sibling. Sometimes there is a need to have someone who is part friend, part role model, part spiritual guide. John’s practice of mentoring draws upon ancient tradition while also co-creating something completely unique for you in the present moment. He has helped me create a vision of my future life that marries these two worlds. By helping me name and claim my newfound knowledge I felt more empowered to enter the next phases of my life and incorporate the lessons I had learned in a practical way. Stepping off of the conventional life path and taking time off can be overwhelming and messy, and John was really skillful in helping create a container for me to ensure that I got what I wanted from this liminal time.” -Lily Datnow

“John is at once both a grounding presence and an edge-pusher in his style of Adult Initiation guidance and mentoring. His Ritual and Initiatory literacy combined with tangible middle-world ideas have helped deepen and expand my life while under his guidance.” -Trevor Mervyn

John conjures from the tangled roots of his Hebraic, Norse, and Celtic ancestry, while wrestling with his reparational responsibility as a third-generation settler living on the traditional homelands of the Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and Ute Peoples.
John is the co-director of the award-winning documentary The Village of Lovers, which captures the transformative community practices at the Tamera Peace Research Village in Portugal. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Wisdom Studies at Ubiquity University, deeply immersed in the exploration of rites-of-passage and cultural initiation.

In 2021, he co-founded The School of Mythopoetics, dedicated to the initiation of soul. He tends thresholds vigilantly, death-doulaing outdated and oppressive paradigms, preparing the ground where vibrant cultures of peace—built upon mutual empowerment—might finally take root.
