The Threshold Journey
12-Week Transformational Group Experience
​
The Threshold is a guided, small-group journey for people standing at a meaningful crossroads — after loss, burnout, relationship changes, or deep inner shifts.
​
Over twelve weeks, we work with your story, your identity, your creativity, and your values to help you release what no longer fits and begin shaping what’s next. Through guided reflection, meditation, group dialogue, and integrated practice, you’ll build clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
​
This is not a course.
It is a rite of passage into your next chapter.
​
Ideal for: Those ready to commit to deep personal transformation in community.
Private Mentorship
Personalized Spiritual Mentoring & Coaching In Los Angeles and beyond.
​
Private mentorship offers one-on-one guidance for those navigating complex life transitions and seeking grounded, compassionate support.
​
In our work together, we explore your inner landscape, life patterns, emotional world, and creative calling — helping you reconnect with your voice and design a life that feels aligned, sustainable, and honest. Each mentoring journey is customized, blending spiritual awareness, practical coaching, and embodied reflection.
​
This is a space for truth, accountability, and becoming — without judgment or performance.
​
Ideal for: Individuals seeking focused, confidential support and deep personal integration.
Wellness Retreats
Adventure, Community & Embodied Growth
​
Our retreats and workshops are immersive experiences designed to bring transformation into the body, the heart, and daily life.
​
Set in inspiring international locations and intentional spaces, these wellness adventures combine mindfulness, creative expression, group ritual, and meaningful dialogue. Participants experience not only personal insight, but also the healing power of community, presence, and shared purpose with a focus on culture and excursion.
​
These experiences often serve as powerful catalysts — helping people reconnect with themselves, others, and the wider world.
​
Ideal for: Wanderlusters who wish to add travel and adventure to their immersive wellness experience.
Guidance That Meets You Where You Are
"I combined all of my gifts and offerings into a one size fits all container for a well-rounded and integrated wholistic experience."
This is not about quick fixes or surface suggestions. My approach blends:
​
-
Spiritual depth with grounded life practices
-
Compassion with accountability mentoring
-
Creativity and soul purpose with real-world clarity
-
​Somatic work and energy healing
-
Intuition building
-
A wholistic approach to well-being
-
Skillset, mindset and mindfulness
​
You’re invited to explore meaningful transformation, not performance-based coaching or self-help gimmicks. Your past, your pain, your story — they’re not obstacles; they’re the roots of your becoming. I know this because I too have a story!

Client Testimonials
James Bene: A guide through life transition
James Bene is a transformational coach, intuitive mentor, and journey facilitator based in Los Angeles & West Hollywood. With over 20+ years of experience in spiritual practice, energy healing, mentoring, retreats, and life transformation work, he supports people navigating grief, loss, identity shifts, creative re-birth, and purposeful reinvention.
​
James’s approach blends mindfulness, embodiment, and integration — providing both space and structure for meaningful change.
A perfect mix of "woo woo" and practical experience, James has blended his learned skillset as well as his natural born gifts of intuition and healing into one holistic mind, body and spirit experience. He is empathic and grounded and shies away from using spiritual bypassing or new age guilt practices. James marches the line between what is and what could be with grace and discernment providing clients with real world approaches with a spiritual and metaphysical flair.
​
James credits his own journey through depression, trauma and grief as his greatest resource as he knows all to well what it feels like to feel stuck and invisible.
Begin Gently — Aligned Journeys & Legacy
Offerings with James
Not everyone is ready to step into a long-term journey right away. James has reshaped some of his favorite offerings into new mini journeys including intuitive development, reiki certification trainings, a 75 minute clarity session and legacy offerings.
​
If you’re curious about this work and would like to experience the Bene Mudra approach in a more accessible way, these smaller offerings are designed as meaningful introductions — not shortcuts.
​
Each experience invites you into deeper self-connection, clarity, and embodied awareness, while gently opening the door to further growth.
These experiences are designed as entry points — not destinations.
​
Many participants naturally continue into The Threshold Journey, Private Mentorship, or Retreat experiences as their path unfolds.
James also offers legacy Psychic & Mediumship sessions by booking request only! If interested please book your session below.
