Matters That Matter®: Standing At The Threshold & Finding Our Way Forward
Week of December 11, 2021
As this year draws to a close and a new one is near at hand, we stand at a threshold. That space that stands between what has been and what could be, and is always an invitation to change, growth, and transformation. To end this year well and prepare to begin a new one, join Molly Davis & Kristine Patterson for an inspiring and engaging week of reflection, exploration, and equipping ourselves for the trail ahead.
The Ranch offers that kind of rare spaciousness that makes room for slow wanderings, morning hikes, and contemplative reflection, leaving guests refreshed, renewed, and ready to step out with more clarity, courage, and grace. Every Matters That Matter® session is designed with the intent of serving and enhancing that renewal process.
Threshold Moments
There are such things as “threshold moments”. Those times when we are invited to step over fear and uncertainty, cross over the border of the familiar and the comfortable, and venture into the unknown. Threshold moments call upon our courage, and, they are game-changers. When we recognize them and accept the invitation being offered, our lives become increasingly authentic and wholehearted. Come listen, reflect, and consider your own threshold moments, past, present, and future.
Workshop #1
Standing At The Threshold
Taking the next right step begins with a right understanding of where we stand now. Finding our way forward means connecting who we are with how we live. Our lives don’t happen by accident. We participate in creating them every day and one step at a time. What better place than the Ranch to consider your next right steps? Join Molly & Kristine as they create a safe space for you to engage in courageous thinking and thoughtful action planning as you find your way forward.
Workshop #2
Discernment: The Practice of Choosing Wisely
Finding our way forward well means learning to choose wisely. Regardless of circumstances or life chapter, we are inundated with responsibilities, obligations, opportunities, and possibilities. Where to spend our time, energy, money, skills, and gifts? Where, how and to whom do we offer what we have to give? This workshop will introduce you to a practical discernment framework to help you choose wisely.
Workshop #3
The 3×5 Card
Accepting the invitation to step over any threshold usually requires that we speak up in new ways, and in situations that test our ability to hold onto ourselves, say what we mean, and mean what we say. Come discover how a small 3×5 card can become a mighty tool to help you find your way forward.
Kristine and Molly co-authored the internationally published Letters To Our Daughters which was highlighted on the Oprah Show. They are founders of Matters That Matter®, a partnership providing keynotes, retreats, and workshops designed to inspire people to live in alignment with what matters most. Their message has been heard at national conventions, annual fundraisers, and spirituality and wellness retreats. They have been best friends for 45 years.
MOLLY DAVIS is a speaker, writer, coach, and author of the award winning BLUSH: Women & Wine. Not a book about never drinking wine again (phew!), but why she often used wine as a classy looking way to cope with stress, dull pain and avoid discomfort, and why others might do the same. The founder of Trailhead Coaching & Consulting, she helps people courageously step more fully into their own lives by connecting who they are with how they live.
KRISTINE Patterson is a potter, author, maker, and storyteller. A few years ago she launched Beanpole Pottery in a quiet studio tucked into her own backyard. It started as a hobby and way to process life, became a full-time business, and now she ships her gorgeous custom work all over the world. Each piece has a soul that, like ours, is perfect in its imperfection.
