Explore The Threshold at Indigo Cove
Welcome to the enchanting world of metaphysical fiction. What does that mean? Metaphysical fictions are stories that engage and entertain you while also asking you to explore deeper questions about consciousness, the nature of the universe, and things that are seen and unseen. They may stretch the edges of reality while mixing the sometimes unexplained with everyday life and events, reminding us of the mysteries that surround us.
The Threshold at Indigo Cove is a story about transitions; one of the most impactful aspects of human nature. An ability to reach, redesign, and reinvent ourselves.
Get to know engaging and endearing characters on their paths to self-care and self-discovery through practices you can try at home.
Setting the stage...
Tucked into the misty forests of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, the fictional Wellness Center at Indigo Cove is an epic destination where few guests leave unchanged.
Designed in harmony with its surroundings on the water’s edge, the renowned restoration retreat offers seven-day immersions for those standing at a crossroads in their lives.
Each week throughout the retreat season, a small cohort arrives, usually telling friends and family they’re seeking rest and relaxation. In truth, they are carrying private reckonings: grief, resentment, and the ache of a life that no longer fits.
Under the guidance of its brilliant director Dr. Iona MacQuarrie—a Scottish clinical psychologist shaped by both rigorous science and love of holistic health —guests are led through practices meant to restore the nervous system, quiet the mind, and awake intuition. Breathwork, forest bathing, chakra balancing, and shadow work become part of a carefully held container for change as guests explore compassion and emotional risk, release and control, intuition and science, possible romance, and relics of memories.
When the Wellness Center owners direct Iona to hire the magnetic and enigmatic Kaan Arslan as co-facilitator, the methodical balance in Iona’s practice, and her personal life must face change. Many questions surface as she sees transformations often demand more courage than comfort will allow, especially if a threshold is to be crossed.
