Your Practice. Your Becoming.
Your practice, your Wisdom Maps, your circle.
One home for the inner work of the second half of life.
Welcome
Hi, I'm Terri Altschul. I'm an ICF PCC, Mixed Media Depth Coach, and the creator of The Visual Journaler™.
My deepest curiosity has always been how people think, learn, and create, and how those qualities can be cultivated. It carried me through thirty years of leadership development and into coaching. Then, amid a season of loss, the creativity that had been my refuge as a child came back, and art journaling found me. From that fire, The Visual Journaler was born.
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.
If you’re new here, the best place to begin is Excavating Wisdom. It introduces Visual Wisdom Keeping, the guided practice, and shows you how to begin your Book of Wisdom.
