INDIVIDUAL THRESHOLD SUPPORT

WHEN YOUR WORLD UNMAKES YOU

Profound loss. Spiritual awakening. Identity dissolution.

Death. Divorce. Diagnosis. Profound loss. 


You're not falling apart.

You're crossing a threshold.


And you don't have to do it alone.

APPLY FOR INDIVIDUAL CROSSING

THE THREE WAYS I SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL THRESHOLD CROSSING

THE YEAR OF BECOMING™

12-month threshold crossing programme

For people navigating major life passage who want:

  • Complete threshold support from unraveling through authorship
  • Monthly 2 hour depth sessions + solo practices
  • Shadow work, somatic integration, ritual
  • Your transformation witnessed for a full year
  • Book of Becoming™ created from your journey

Who this serves:

  • You're crossing major threshold (death, divorce, diagnosis, identity crisis)
  • You want deep, sustained support (not quick fix)
  • You're willing to do shadow work and feel discomfort
  • You can commit 12 months and 3 to 6 hours/month
  • You want your crossing documented and honoured

INTENSIVE THRESHOLD SESSIONS™

Focused depth work (1 to 6 sessions)

For people who need:

  • Targeted support for specific threshold moment
  • Help getting unstuck in crossing
  • Clarity about where you are and what's needed
  • Short-term, 2 hour depth work (not full year)
  • To try working together before committing to year

Who this serves:

  • Acute threshold moment (recent crisis, stuck point)
  • Can't commit to 12 months (time or financial constraints)
  • Need focused intervention
  • Already done significant threshold work, just need support
  • Want to experience this work before longer commitment

THE BOOK OF BECOMING™

Your threshold writings curated into sacred manuscript

For people who:

  • Wrote through their threshold (journals, blogs, emails, notes)
  • Have crossed enough to see transformation arc
  • Want threshold documented in beautiful, bound book
  • Desire ritual completion (Reading Ceremony)
  • Want tangible evidence of their becoming

Who this serves:

  • You have 50 to 500+ pages of threshold writing
  • You can see arc (beginning → crossing → becoming)
  • You're ready to witness your transformation held in book form
  • You want sacred completion of your crossing
  • You may or may not want full Year of Becoming™ (Book can be standalone)

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE IF...

✓ Your old life/identity no longer fits (but you don't know who you're becoming)

✓ Someone you love died (and grief is unmaking you)

✓ Your marriage ended (and you don't know who you are without "we")

✓ Diagnosis changed everything (and your body/future feel foreign)

✓ You're in spiritual awakening or existential crisis (and nothing makes sense anymore)

✓ Profound disillusionment shattered your worldview (and you can't go back to believing what you believed)

✓ You're experiencing what others call "breakdown" (but you sense it's actually breakthrough)

✓ Therapy helps but doesn't touch the depth of what you're crossing

✓ You need witness, not fixing. Depth, not advice. Ritual, not rationalisation.

✓ You want to cross this consciously (with awareness, integration, meaning-making)

COMPARISON: WHICH SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

HOW INDIVIDUAL THRESHOLD WORK WORKS

THE THRESHOLD METHODOLOGY™ APPLIED TO INDIVIDUAL WORK

STAGE 1: UNRAVELING

"Everything is falling apart. I don't know who I am anymore."


What's happening:

  • Your old identity is dissolving
  • Grief, rage, confusion, disorientation
  • Can't hold the old form anymore
  • Feels like dying (because part of you is)


What we do:

  • Witness the dissolution (not try to stop it)
  • Name the threshold (what's actually ending/opening)
  • Hold the grief and rage (shadow work begins)
  • Create safety in the chaos
  • Rituals for letting go


Practices:

  • Grief journaling
  • Rage release (somatic work)
  • Moon observations (tracking cycles)
  • Shadow naming

STAGE 2: RECLAMATION (The Liminal)

"I'm in the void. I'm not who I was, but I don't know who I'm becoming."


What's happening:

  • You're between identities (liminal space)
  • Retrieving lost parts of self
  • Experimenting with new forms
  • Uncertainty and possibility coexist
  • Deep disorientation (and sometimes strange aliveness)


What we do:

  • Hold you in the void (not rush you out)
  • Reclaim disowned parts (shadow integration)
  • Practice embodiment (somatic work intensifies)
  • Explore new identities (without committing yet)
  • Meaning-making begins


Practices:

  • Shadow dialogues
  • Somatic exploration
  • Identity experiments
  • Dreamwork
  • Creative expression

STAGE 3: AUTHORSHIP

"I'm becoming someone new. I can feel it emerging."


What's happening:

  • New identity forming
  • Integration of shadow and light
  • Authoring life from transformed self
  • Not "back to normal" (you're different)
  • Embodying the crossing


What we do:

  • Support emergence (without forcing)
  • Integrate all parts (wholeness, not perfection)
  • Author new story (who are you now?)
  • Rituals for completion
  • Celebrate becoming


Practices:

  • Authorship writing
  • Integration practices
  • New identity embodiment
  • Threshold ritual/ceremony
  • Book of Becoming™ creation (if Year of Becoming™)

WHAT MAKES THIS WORK DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY

THERAPY

THRESHOLD SUPPORT

THRESHOLD SUPPORT

  • Diagnosis and treatment of mental illness
  • Clinical interventions and evidence-based protocols
  • Weekly 50-minute sessions
  • Pathology framework (symptoms, disorders, dysfunction)
  • Goal: Symptom reduction, functioning improvement
  • Provided by: Licensed therapist

THRESHOLD SUPPORT

THRESHOLD SUPPORT

THRESHOLD SUPPORT

  • No diagnosis (this isn't illness, it's transformation)
  • Depth psychology, shadow work, somatic practices, ritual
  • Monthly 2-hour sessions (or intensive as needed)
  • Threshold framework (crossing, becoming, transformation)
  • Goal: Conscious crossing, integration, authorship
  • Provided by: Depth practitioner with lived experience

THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER:

Many clients work with both:


  • Therapist: Clinical support, symptom management, weekly processing
  • Threshold Support: Depth work, transformation support, monthly witnessing


If you need therapy, I'll refer you to excellent therapists.

If you need threshold support, I'm here.

APPLY FOR INDIVIDUAL CROSSING

WHO I AM & WHY I DO THIS WORK

Hi, I'm Zukiswa Phoofolo.

GUIDE OF PROFOUND CROSSINGS

I've crossed thresholds that should have destroyed me.


Death: My own near-death experience has unmade me


Divorce: Parents divorced. Two marriages ended. Three major identity deaths


Diagnosis: Chronic illness changed my body and future


Narcissistic abuse: Years of high-conflict litigation and psychological warfare


Spiritual awakening: My old worldview shattered, new one slowly emerged


Identity dissolution: Who I thought I was dissolved multiple times


I didn't cross these consciously the first few times. I survived. I numbed. I performed "I'm fine." I spiritual-bypassed.


Then I learned what conscious crossing actually is.


I found practitioners who held depth (not platitudes). I did shadow work (not just "healing"). I went into the void (not around it). I let myself be unmade and remade.


And I emerged transformed-not despite the thresholds, but because of them.


Now I hold others through theirs.


Not from theory. From lived experience.

I know what it's like to think you're losing your mind (you're not-you're crossing a threshold).

I know what the books don't tell you about grief, rage, and the void.

I know how to hold someone while they're being unmade.


That's my medicine.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Please reach us at info@theravensquill.co.za if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A: I'm not a therapist. I don't diagnose or treat mental illness. I witness threshold crossing using depth psychology, shadow work, somatic practices, and ritual. Many clients work with both therapist (for clinical support) and me (for threshold work). They complement each other and I actively encourage this approach.


A: Beautiful. Many clients work with both. I can coordinate with your therapist (with your permission) to ensure coherent support. Therapy provides clinical foundation; threshold work provides depth transformation support.


A: No. Many people start with Intensive Sessions (try working together, address acute issue) then transition to Year of Becoming™. You can also do Intensive Sessions after completing Year of Becoming™ (ongoing support as needed).


A: I have 2-3 sliding scale spots per quarter. Note financial constraint in your application and explain why this work specifically and what demonstrates your commitment. Not all requests can be accommodated, but I prioritise those with genuine need and deep dedication.


A: Yes. All services available virtually via Zoom. I work with clients worldwide.


A: This work is not crisis intervention. If you're in acute danger, please contact emergency services or crisis hotline immediately. Once stabilised (with therapist/psychiatrist), we can explore threshold work.


A: Yes. Minimum 50 pages (ideal 100-500+). Can be journals, blog posts, emails to self, notes, social media posts-any format. If you don't have writings but want the Book of Becoming™, consider Year of Becoming™ (includes extensive journaling + Book creation at end).


A: Detailed in service agreements. Generally: Can cancel before work begins (deposit forfeited as time reservation). Once work begins,  no refunds. See specific service terms for details.


A: You're ready if:


  • You're willing to be uncomfortable (threshold work isn't comfortable)
  • You can tolerate not knowing (uncertainty is part of crossing)
  • You're willing to face shadow (rage, grief, shame-not just "light & love")
  • You're committed to consciousness (not just "getting through it")


If you're unsure, apply anyway. We'll discern together in consultation.
