This Season Has Its Own Work
The culture never told you the second half of life has a purpose. It offered suggestions instead. Slow down. Step aside. Rest.
But this season is not a decline to be managed. It has its own work, and it is not small work.
The roles begin to loosen: the parts that defined you, how you showed up in the world, no longer fit the way they did. The shadow asks to be integrated: the parts of yourself that were set aside, sometimes unknowingly, are asking to be integrated. And the life you have lived asks to be reviewed and not judged. Harvested. Decades of experience, most of it passed through too quickly to be made into meaning, waiting to be made into wisdom. And beneath all of it, something that was there before the roles ever arrived: the essential seed of who you are, waiting for this season to give it room finally.
This season of life calls for inner work. And it has its own tools.
Imagine if you could...

EXPERIENCE MOMENTS OF CLARITY and insight that illuminate your way forward with confidence and purpose.

FEEL GUIDED AND SUPPORTED every step of the journey..
There is a silent language within all of us that reveals the truth of our thoughts, feelings, and emotions far more fluently than words. The language of the unconscious. This language speaks in metaphor, imagery, and symbols.
This Language Calls Us to Deeper Connection
While we may feel the pull to access our inner wisdom and connect more deeply with what wants to emerge, we can also feel stuck not realizing that the discomfort is a call. Are you feeling any of these?

Meet Terri Altschul
Hi, I’m Terri Altschul. I’m an ICF PCC and Certified Integral Coach, Mixed Media Depth Coach, and the creator of Visual Wisdom Keeping.
I came to this work after thirty years in corporate leadership and organizational development, when I discovered that putting images on paper opened something that cognitive approaches alone couldn’t reach. The stories I had been living inside became something I could look at. That discovery became a practice. This is where it lives.
I work with women who realize that the second half of life asks different questions. Questions that only become accessible once you arrive here. Not because anything is wrong. Because these questions could only be reached from this side of everything you have lived.
I look forward to making alongside you.

This is Where the Practice Begins
The sovereignty you arrive at is entirely your own. Not given, not retrieved, but made from everything you have lived.
No art experience needed.

She is an ICF PCC with more than 4,000 coaching hours. Jungian depth psychology, Celtic tradition, and the practice of making with your hands.
