Spiritual coaching with Christi Byerly, MCC

You are standing at a threshold.

The old container no longer fits. A longing has been building that your current life has not been able to hold. You sense that what wants to happen next will require a different kind of witness than you have had before.

You did not arrive here by accident.

You may be leaving a faith system that formed you and no longer holds you. You may be walking away from a version of leadership, identity, or vocation that once felt like a calling and now feels like a cage. You may be in the middle of a grief that has cracked open questions you were not expecting. You may simply know, with a persistent certainty, that what you have been living is not the whole of what you are here for.

The threshold looks different for every person who arrives at it. The experience of standing at one is almost always the same: a dissonance and even a grief, a longing for a new truth you have not yet spoken aloud, a knowing that contradicts what you were taught, and a hunger to be witnessed when the rest of the world seems to be walking in the other direction. You want to be heard with full presence. To be accompanied rather than advised.

You have probably tried to think your way through. You have probably been very brave, and very capable, and very alone in this. What you have not yet had is ninety minutes with someone who will not try to solve you, who trusts the path you are already on, and who knows how to hold the space in which your own knowing can surface.

This Threshold Session is for that witnessing.

A 90-minute spiritual coaching session with Christi Byerly, MCC

For ninety minutes, you will be in conversation with me, as we're both held in the Great Love. You can come exactly as you are, with your questions half-formed and your thoughts still finding their shape. The session begins from wherever you actually are.

What you will find is a quality of presence that most people have not experienced before. I bring the full depth of my years not only as a Master Certified Coach, but also as a fellow pilgrim and a depth of spiritual accompaniment that trusts what is already alive in you.

I will listen at a depth that allows what is most true to surface. We will both be in a space of warmth and steadiness that makes it safe to speak what has been waiting to be spoken. Our third party is the Great Love itself, pulsing through us.

Together you will name what is actually calling you, beneath the immediate circumstances and the noise of everyday life. You will speak aloud the truth you may have been carrying for longer than you realize. You will receive spiritual practices tailored to your particular moment, drawn directly from what surfaces between you in the conversation.

You will leave knowing you have been genuinely heard. You will leave with clarity about what is wanting to happen next. And you will leave with a felt sense of what it means to be accompanied by Love rather than driven by striving.


The Threshold Session is available to anyone standing at a crossroads who needs a witness. For those who sense they are ready for a longer journey, the session is also the required first step into Remembering the Great Love.

If that's true for you, your full €400 EUR $465 USD is credited toward the Remembering the Great Love program if you enroll within 30 days.

You are ready for your Threshold Session if:

You are at a moment of genuine transition. A faith system, a vocation, an identity, or a way of being in the world has run its course, and you can feel the pull toward what wants to come next, even if you cannot yet name it.

You are done performing. The version of yourself that has been managing, achieving, and holding everything together has served you well. You are ready to lay it down and find out what lives beneath it.

You carry a question you have not been able to answer alone. You have been brave enough to keep asking it. You are ready to speak it aloud in the presence of someone who can hold it with you.

You are spiritually curious and open, whatever your tradition or the absence of one. You welcome depth, complexity, and mystery rather than looking for certainty or a five-step plan.

You are willing to trust the path you are already on, even when it asks you to meander before it becomes clear.

You have been asking the hard questions for longer than feels comfortable. The faith, the institution, the system, or the role that was handed to you has not been able to hold the questions you are carrying. You have kept asking anyway. You are ready to be in a room where that questioning is not a problem to be managed, but the very thing that is pointing you home.

This session is NOT for you if:

You are looking for a clear roadmap and a guaranteed destination. The Great Love does not work in straight lines, and The Threshold Session will not give you one. The path here is a labyrinth, and its wisdom is in the winding.

You are hoping someone will tell you what to do. I will not do that, because the Great Love already knows what is true in you. The work here is helping you hear it, not replacing it with someone else's knowing.

You are looking for a place to stay comfortable. The Great Love is clear, honest, and even challenging. If you are not willing to move toward truth, this is not the right moment for this session. When you are, The Threshold Session will be here.

You are looking for clinical or therapeutic support. The Great Love holds all of our wounds, and there is no shame in needing that kind of care in tandem.  Sessions with me are spiritual accompaniment and coaching, not counseling or diagnosing.

How It Works

Step 1: You book and commit

Your journey begins the moment you book. I will send you a welcome email with five reflection questions, as an invitation to begin listening inward before you arrive. Many people find that the questions alone begin to surface what the session will name.

Step 2: The session

A week or so later, you and I will meet on Zoom for up to ninety minutes. You can come with your reflections written out or simply held in your heart. I will meet you exactly where you are, and together you will follow what is most alive in the conversation.

Step 3: What comes next

The session does not end when the call does. What surfaced between you will continue to work in you in the days that follow. A week later, I will be in touch, a gentle check-in to see how your process is unfolding, a reminder that you are seen and held as you find your way forward.

Early enrollment gift

If you've been hearing this calling you for some time, Christi is offering one additional 60-minute coaching session as a gift for those who sign up to Remembering the Great Love before the end of June. This will be an extra opportunity to deepen into the liminal space at your threshold, before the retreat begins in France. This early enrollment bonus session should be scheduled in July and August working around Christi's summer schedule. This will be the only way to work with Christi on a 1:1 basis in 2026 & 2027.

Enrollment in Remembering the Great Love closes four weeks before the retreat begins.

The retreat in Bordeaux, France, runs Sept. 24-30, 2026.

Why I Created This Offering

Through the process of writing Holy Rebellion, I revisited the major threshold moments of my own journey. The times when a deep calling was pulling me forward, and I resisted. When the truth I was sensing contradicted everything I had been taught. When I needed someone to witness what was unfolding in me, to stay present with it, to trust it alongside me.

I remembered sitting in my spiritual director's office in Kenya, filled with self-blame and unable to articulate what was welling up in me. The container I had been living in no longer fit, and I had no words for what wanted to come next. She sat with me in that. She challenged my small views with great love. Her presence and infinite patience gave me permission to trust what was shifting, even before I could speak it clearly.

That time together changed the direction of my life. Her willingness to witness what was true in me, without rushing toward resolution, was the most transformative gift I had ever received.

Years later, I find myself in that same role. Sitting with leaders, coaches, and seekers who are at their own thresholds. Brave people carrying questions they have not yet been able to speak aloud. People longing for someone who has walked the winding path to say: What you are sensing is real. The path is trustworthy. You do not have to have it all figured out to keep walking.

The Threshold Session exists for that moment. Whether you walk the longer journey or simply need ninety minutes of genuine accompaniment, you are worthy of being witnessed in what is true. You are worthy of someone who will stay present while you name what is calling.

The Great Love may be calling you further

For some women, The Threshold Session opens a door they have been standing at for a long time. If you find yourself in that place, Remembering the Great Love may be what is calling you next. 

Remembering the Great Love is a twelve-month personal transformation journey for nine women, built around a residential retreat in the south of France in September 2026.

It is for women who are ready to stop performing and start living from the ground of Love that was always beneath them. Women who have been brave enough to keep asking the questions that their previous containers could not hold. Women who are ready to walk that journey in community with others who understand.

Your Threshold Session investment is credited in full toward your enrollment. Full details of the program, the retreat, and the payment plan are available on the Remembering the Great Love page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this faith-based?

You will find your faith in the power of Love expanding as we go.

I'm not affiliated with any denomination. You don't need to be a member of any faith tradition. This work is deeply spiritual. We'll recognize the movement of Love (capital L), trust, the sacred, and what wants to unfold in you.

If you're deconstructing from high-demand religion, you'll find a home here. If you've never been religious but are spiritually curious, you're welcome. If you practice from any contemplative tradition, that's honored.

What I ask: willingness to engage depth, complexity, and mystery.

What if I decide not to join the VIP program?

That's completely fine. You keep the clarity, practices, and guidance from our time together. There's no pressure. Many people book Spiritual coaching and alignment with Christi for the standalone value and never enroll in Remembering the Great Love, and that's honored.

What's the difference between this and a regular coaching session?

This session is specifically designed for threshold moments and spiritual discernment. While you'll receive coaching, there's also a spiritual accompaniment dimension, we're exploring what wants to unfold in you at a soul level, not just solving problems.

Can I use this session to ask logistical questions about the Remembering the Great Love 12-month program?

This session is for your transformation work, not program logistics. If you have questions about Remembering the Great Love program structure, timing, or details, you can email us before or after your session.

What is spiritual coaching, and how is this different from therapy or spiritual direction?

Spiritual coaching works at the intersection of who you are and how you're living. It's not therapy, we're not treating the past or diagnosing what's wrong. And it's not traditional spiritual direction, though there's overlap. In this session, we're exploring what's alive and calling in you right now: what your inner knowing is telling you, where you're at a threshold, and what Love might be inviting. You leave with practices, clarity, and a felt sense of being accompanied rather than advised.

What does a spiritual coach actually do?

In our work together, the coaching isn't about fixing you or building a better version of yourself. It's about witnessing what's already true, and helping you trust it. We name what's calling. We sit with what's hard. We explore practices that keep you present with what's unfolding, rather than strategies that push you toward a predetermined outcome. Love does the transforming. The coach is held in the space of love with you.

What happens if the retreat does not go ahead?

If you are purchasing The Threshold Session as your first step into Remembering the Great Love, here is what you need to know. Remembering the Great Love runs with a minimum of six participants. In the event that minimum is not reached, all Remembering the Great Love payments will be refunded in full. Your Threshold Session was a complete journey in itself, and that investment stands, as does everything that surfaced between you in that time. Christi will offer an additional 60-minute session to all affected participants as either an early enrollment bonus, or simply as a gesture of care.
