-The Threshold Program-
A Transformational Journey To Your Next Chapter.

An 8–12 week guided group experience for people navigating the realities of new beginnings. This journey blends spiritual mentorship, grounded coaching, meditation, and creative practice to help you release the past and step fully into who you are already becoming. Facilitated by James Bene.

Who Is This Transformational Journey For?

This journey is for you if you are:

Experiencing grief, loss, or divorce and seeking grounded spiritual support
Standing at a personal, professional or creative crossroad
Looking for life transition coaching with depth and structure
Ready to let go of an old identity and step into a more authentic life
Seeking a spiritual mentor who balance practical guidance

The Philosophy

A Grounded Approach to Spiritual Mentorship and Transformation

Your story matters — and it is still being written
Trauma can shape depth, empathy, and creative power
Darkness is not something to escape — it is something to walk through
You don’t need to be “fixed” — you need to be witnessed, supported, and given space to become
It is never too late to choose a truer version of yourself

At Bene Mudra, we believe that your story matters — and that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning. The Threshold is a guided transformational journey designed to help you move through change with self-compassion, creativity, and clarity.

This is not therapy, and it is not spiritual bypassing. It is a structured, human-centered experience that blends meditation, reflection, and practical mentorship to help you shape a meaningful next chapter. It’s about remembering who you are — and choosing who you will be next."
