THRESHOLD is an 8 week Somatic Writing & Breathwork workshop series for individuals who are called to surrender that which is no longer working.

Thresholds could include divorce, breakups or other relationship endings, leaving a job in pursuit of a creative or career based calling, a fundamental change in core identity, or the choice to “start over” on some level.

Whatever your threshold, there’s a door present, and you are ready to walk towards it. In your way, in your timing, and with compassionate support.

Informed by the Internal Family Systems (IFS) writing exercises, somatic breathwork, and the personal practices which have informed my own healing— THRESHOLD is a workshop series which integrates the modalities that I believe work.

The role of aligned community is crucial during times of upheaval to not only reduce isolation, but also provide an anchor — a place to rest, unmask, welcome every feeling, and tell the truth.

At it’s core, THRESHOLD is a workshop series for those who are actively in their own courageous evolution.

The Curriculum

Heartbreak & Grief

First, we open to what is lost. Feeling the gravity of severed attachments, profound changes in our personal world, the letting go. And the bravery too. The courage involved in being willing to no longer grip so tightly.

Rage & Boundaries

We honour what we did not have the tools to protect. Let anger rise, move. We open to the fear of abandonment when boundaries are spoken, explore what somatically emerges when “no” is voiced, and practice speaking aloud what needs to be said.

Inner Child Work

Time traveling back to the place where it was all first learned: how I stay safe, how I connect, how I belong.

Unmasking & Authenticity

We practice claiming and owning the young parts of Self that have been shamed, silenced, or otherwise told they do not belong.

Inherent Goodness & Innocence

Remembering the untouchable goodness inside — the Enduring Self — and the part of you that has been present through it all.

Self-Trust & Intuition Rebuilding

Rebuilding the faith in our feeling, sensing, knowing body, through a process of gentle internal listening, and ongoing emotional availability.

Self-Love & Inner Friendship

Making contact with a tenderness, an unconditional care and warmth, directed to our own Selves. Breathing, writing, dreaming into expansion beyond this season.

Meet your facilitator, Hannah.

Hi there, you’re likely here because my work on Meeting Myself Again. I’m glad we found eachother! My name is Hannah Ciordas. I am beyond excited to share my first workshop series THRESHOLD.

I designed THRESHOLD in the same way that I create all my offerings—that is, by reflecting on what I wish I had during my own most difficult times.

In 2023, I went through what can only really be described as some kind of nervous break down. I was going through a separation, the loss of the family I had planned to have, and trying to navigate a massive unprecedented wave of childhood trauma which was triggered by the whole experience. At the same time, I was working as a therapist in the domestic violence sector, being exposed to vicarious trauma for hours every day.

So, I did what is recommended and went to therapy.

What I learned from talk therapy was that I could effectively intellectualize my emotions. However, I had difficulty staying in my body and experiencing my feelings at a sensory level. I was stuck in an addiction to controlling the way I experienced emotions through obsessive self-soothing behaviours, disassociation, numbing, and other strategies I hade developed to escape myself. The result was chronic anxiety, severe insomnia, and an exhaustion around “showing up” for healing work that didn’t seem to be helping me.

In 2024, I attended a somatic group that changed my life. A year later I was working with a somatic practitioner weekly and had dove into the world of radical aliveness, authentic relating, breathwork, circling and other more “fringe” practices. Somatic practices helped me to gradually expose myself to the experience of staying in my body, while having difficult feelings. And this time, not alone, but with loving, kind, support.

My work as a facilitator is based on a combination of formal training and my own experiences in the room, as a client.

My hope is that these workshops can be allies for you in your process, a source of community, and a catalyst towards living as the most free version of you.
