ABOUT US
The Threshold Learning HUB was designed by educators and parents collaborating to give their children options in learning and a fresh new start in creating education pathways.
A team of unschooling and homeschool moms have joined forces with experienced educators, mentors and guides to work together designing a resource hub that can be shared with other families outside our private team community.
We are all moms that hold a significant trade or skill that is needed in building community.
Meet our TRADE MOMS
Amber Wright - The Gardener
Amber works behind the scenes building the soil that we grow our organization on.
Alighten came to Amber in the summer of 2018 during a spiritual awakening and channel writing session. She saw that we are surrounded by Angelic helpers and Spirit Guides who are ready to work with us in our creations, if we only ask, open, and allow for their assistance. After many years of studying business development processes, accounting, personal finance and investment vehicles, Alighten was on the backburner while considering opening as a 501c3, but with the 40-something pages of application and 200-something pages of instructions, a very healthy block was reached (standstill), until Alighten became a Ministry in 2021. Operating as a Private Member Association allows us the FREEDOM to follow our hearts FULLY to do God's work.
With the team at Alighten, she offers a program for LEARNING CENTERS in the private domain through an online course with a database of templates and administrator processes called How to Start a Learning Center in 12 steps, from practical and spiritual perspectives. In addition to supporting communitycentered education, Alighten is also a network of holistic healthcare practitioners offering healing workshops, ceremonies and our yearly summer festival. She is passionate about collaborating with other PMA's and believes this is one of the many steps to taking our country back.

Lori Moore - The Electrician
Lori energizes abstract concepts into thoughtful and tangible forms, sparking discussions and lively debate.
First and foremost, Lori is a mother. Her journey as a parent has shaped her deepest convictions, among them, a reverence for sacred birth-keeping and the belief that family and community can grow strong when rooted in nature and trust. She and her family have lived simply and creatively, even building with earth and their own hands to craft experimental dwellings that reflect harmony with the land.
Alongside this life of making and mothering, Lori is also a journeyman electrician with 25 years of experience and the original founder of Lori Wall
Beds. Her work has always woven together the practical and the visionary, the grounded and the imaginative.
The online course she now offers for teens and their parents grew out of necessity: a search for a fuller, freer way to learn that honors both intellect and spirit. Shaped by her study of the Ringing Cedars series and the philosophies of Anastasia, Lori invites families into deeper conversations about history, philosophy, creativity, and the human task of living well.
She holds to the belief that education, like life, is best when it is alive—when it grows from the soil of real work, real wonder, and the bonds of family.
