YOUR BRIDGE AT THE THRESHOLD.
A threshold is a space in between; a crossing, passage, portal, opening, or gateway; a point of entry or beginning; the border one navigates in transition. It is also the magnitude that must be surpassed for a different condition to occur; the sacred journey which gives rise to something new. The fluid boundary between this life and the space beyond.
Mud Lotus Doulas recognizes and honors the interconnection between struggle and blossoming. All beings are ever changing, transforming, and becoming with each breath, even our last. To show up fully for this exquisite process, for your sacred journey, we bring deep presence to the spaces we inhabit. We ground ourselves in the now, allowing each moment to unfold, just as it is, without judgment or expectation.
We are here with you, at the threshold, just as you are.
“You can’t grow lotus flowers on marble. Without mud, there can be no lotus.”
THICH NHAT HANH
“Bridges are thresholds to other realities, archetypal, primal symbols of shifting consciousness. They are passageways, conduits, and connectors that connote transitioning, crossing borders, and changing perspectives…spaces I call nepantla, a Nahuatl word meaning tierra entre medio. Transformations occur in this in-between space.”
