Transformation is essential for the evolution and thriving of creation, which includes human beings. The process brings greater clarity, healing, and resilience into our lives and creative growth into the world. We see cycles of birth, death, and rebirth occurring in nature and on a global and personal level. Transformation is alchemical; it involves a shake-up of our usual routine and a plunge into groundlessness. Strong medicine is provided by life itself. There is poignant bittersweet beauty in impermanence and change, in loss and death, as well as in new growth. A distinction can be made between horizontal translation, a lateral shift in which our fundamental perception of the world remains the same, and vertical transformation where there is a radical shift in it. Rebirth follows death, always. Parts of ourselves that we've exiled can be transformed from shadow to light and become gifts we offer to the world. The caterpillar has to die to become a butterfly, but it resists the change. Personal examples of dying to identification are described. We are all hard-wired for survival at the level of ego, but at the level of soul we long to surrender to the holy process and love more profoundly, turn toward what is, and become more fully ourselves. Liminality means dissolution and refers to the betwixt and between place between death and rebirth when the way things have been is dying but what's waiting to be born has not yet emerged. It's a place of receptivity which is necessary for us to pay attention to ourselves in a deeper way. When external doors close, inner doors can open. Transformative moments are spontaneous when we're transported into a place of awe and we experience our unitive nature. Nachama Greenwald is a physical therapist, editor, and musician who for seventeen years was a member of the Shri blues band which performed Western Baul music.
When we step out of one relationship paradigm, phase, or stage and into another, we often find ourselves in a strange, uncomfortable space—neither here nor there. This space has a name: liminality. From the Latin word "limen" meaning threshold, liminality describes that crucial period between what was and what will be. It's not just a moment of crossing over; it's an extended time of uncertainty, possibility, and transformation.Liminality exists in all facets of life, but for those of us exploring non-monogamy, these in-between periods can show up quite frequently and pose a number of unique challenges. We often want to rush through it, desperate to find solid ground again. But what if those uncomfortable spaces are exactly where the most important growth happens?In this episode, we talk about:— What liminality actually means and why it's such an important concept for understanding relationship transitions— Why the in-between state is so uncomfortable yet necessary for genuine paradigm shifts— How rushing through liminal periods can prevent us from truly reimagining our relationships— The common mistake of carrying old relationship paradigms into new relationship structures— Practical ways to intentionally create and navigate liminal space in your relationships— How small changes in habits and environment can help shift your perspective during transitions— The connection between differentiation practice and creating healthy liminal experiences— Why the discomfort of "not knowing" is essential for personal growth and transformation— Real examples of liminal periods we all experience, from adolescence to career transitions to relationship changes— The value of creating intentional containers for your liminal experiences, whether it's a week, month, year, or longerResources mentioned in this episode:— Episode 194: Reimagining RelationshipsJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

From the 2025 Asian American Mental Health Conference "Navigating Transitions with Faith and Resilience: Asian American Mental Health Across Life Stages." This lecture is by Sangeetha Thomas, titled "Liminality and Relational Wholeness in a Fallen World," recorded January 17, 2025. Find out more about the conference here: https://ptsem.edu/academics/centers/center-for-asian-american-christianity/2025-mental-health-conference/ Abstract: Social disconnection and isolation have become increasingly prevalent in the United States. For Asian Americans, these experiences exist within a larger context of migration, racialization and intergenerational trauma. In addition, life transitions, such as career decisions, marriage and health-related challenges could introduce disagreements and conflicts that exacerbate disconnection and alienation. Focusing on themes of Holy Saturday, this talk focuses on spiritual formation as it occurs in these “spaces in between.” Drawing on psychological research and theory on attachment, this session focuses on the dynamic interplay between interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth as we navigate liminal spaces.

This week on Horror Joy, Brian and Jeff traverse the eerie corridors of liminality in horror. They kick off with a deep dive into the Apple TV series Severance, exploring how its portrayal of work-life separation raises existential and psychological questions. Is it a thriller, or horror? Moving forward, they venture into the unsettling realm of analog horror, with a focus on YouTube creators like Kane Pixels and Alex Kister.Join us as we travel deeper in the backrooms of liminal horror and the analog threat:·We'll discuss how liminality works in Gothic literature·We'll analyze what Severance tells us about the value of labor and the role that religious language plays in the trust/fear/disgust of corporate overlords·We'll question how authenticity is found in the gritty videos of analog horror and the terror of a found footage retelling of Biblical stories·We'll find joy in the mystery box of Severance and the labor of love of analog horrorFrom grainy VHS aesthetics to biblical retellings, they examine how these themes distort reality and evoke a primal fear of the unknown. Join them in exploring the blurred lines of identity, the nature of labor, and the unsettling nostalgia of analog media.SeveranceKiller tapes and Shattered Screens by Caetlin Benson-AllotThe BackroomsThe Mandela CatalogExploring Liminal Spaces in Gothic Literature: The Role of Transition andBoundary in Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Works of Edgar Allan Poe by Mariyam FarzandArts of Wonder by Jeffrey L.

This is a conversation with Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost that gets to the heart of what the church is called to be - a community of adventure, risk, and mission. Alan and Mike have revised and re-released their book "The Faith of Leap" that challenges the church to shed its obsession with safety and security, and instead embrace the risky, liminal spaces where the kingdom of God breaks through. We'll explore how the church has become too inwardly focused, too preoccupied with maintaining its own institutions, when it should be a sent people, a missional movement unleashed into the world. Alan and Michael will share powerful stories of ordinary believers taking courageous leaps of faith, and how their example can inspire us all. This is a conversation about rediscovering the church's essential calling - to be a community that encounters the living God, and then boldly steps out in response, ready to see the reign of God extended in our neighborhoods and cities. It's a call to adventure, to risk, to the kind of faith that changes everything. This conversation will challenge our assumptions about what the church is supposed to be. Too often, we've allowed the church to become a place of comfort and security, when it's meant to be a launching pad for mission and transformation. Alan and Michael are inviting us to rethink everything, to let the call of the kingdom reshape our understanding of ecclesiology. This is a conversation that I believe has profound implications, not just for the church, but for the way we engage the world around us. So join us and recover the faith of leap.

Have you ever felt stuck between where you were and where God was calling you—like you stepped out in faith, but the destination wasn't clear? That space of uncertainty, discomfort, and transformation is what we call liminality—and it's not just a challenge, it's a necessary stage in God's process of forming disciples and mobilizing the Church.In this episode, we explore how liminality is woven throughout Scripture—from Abraham's journey into the unknown to Israel's wilderness season and the disciples' transformation at Pentecost. We'll also unpack why churches often resist liminality, how avoiding it leads to stagnation, and why embracing it fuels missional momentum.Join us as we challenge the fear of the in-between and reframe liminality as the birthplace of movement, faith, and Kingdom impact. Where is God calling you to step into the unknown? Let's dive in and discover why the space between the past and the promise is exactly where transformation happens.

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast! Episode 142: In this episode, we dive deep into the intersection of philosophy, spirituality, and the transformative potential of psychedelics. Together, we explore ancient traditions like Zoroastrianism and their seamless integration of psychedelic practices, contrasting them with Western struggles rooted in religious and cultural frameworks. We discuss profound themes such as the mother contract, the Black Widow archetype, and the challenges these dynamics create in shaping masculinity and femininity in modern society. Alexander Bard shares his insights on how distorted maternal archetypes contribute to toxic masculinity and femininity, and why breaking free from these contracts is vital for both personal and collective healing. Additionally, we delve into the transformative role of psychedelics in confronting deep-seated traumas, fostering self-awareness, and resetting societal norms. This raw and challenging conversation invites deep reflection on the complexities of human nature, spirituality, and our connection to community. Join us in unpacking these vital topics, and share your thoughts in the comments—let's keep the conversation going! About Alex: Alexander Bard is a philosopher, artist, songwriter and music producer, author of six books with Jan Söderqvist, living in Stockholm, Sweden. Bard built his career as a philosopher in parallel with a highly successful 25-years-plus career in the international music industry. Bard & Söderqvist's philosophy concentrates on the relationship between human beings and technology, using human beings as the constant throughout civilization, with technology as the ever faster changing variable. Their work takes inspiration from thinkers like Hegel, Nietzsche, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Eastern philosophy and spirituality, in the latter case adding Persia to the well known triad of India, China and Japan. They are convinced philosophy will be the last human activity to ever be affected by AI.

Karl Vaters talks with Scot McKnight about what we can learn from those who are deconstructing their faith.This conversation is based on the content of Scot's new book (co-written with Tommy Preson Phillips), Invisible Jesus: A Book about Leaving the Church and Looking for Christ.This is a challenging book and a challenging conversation, especially if you are to the right of center theologically and politically (like Scot and Karl). But I encourage you not to write it off for those reasons.Scot makes the case, through personal observation and thorough statistics, that people who use a term like “deconstruction” are probably not leaving Jesus, but are usually trying to find a simpler, more genuine representation of him than what they've seen in many of our churches. Deconstructors are asking important questions and shining a light on issues we need to pay attention to. Links from this Episode:Invisible Jesus: A Book about Leaving the Church and Looking for ChristThe New Testament In ColorNick Crawley - Bible For LifeBonus Content Summary The Three Stages of DeconstructionFrom chapter 6 of Invisible Jesus: A Book about Leaving the Church and Looking for Christ, Scot McKnight shares the three distinct steps most deconstructors go through (Liminality, Elimination, and Liberation), and what they mean.Knowing these phases can be very helpful for us, as church leaders, to be involved in the conversation with them. When we step into this space instead of running from it, we have the chance to learn, and to guide them as they seek to draw closer to Jesus.
The Second World Approaches to International Law (SWAIL) project, which will be launched at Central European University in Vienna in February 2025, aims to establish a more accurate way of conceptualising East Central Europe's position in, and relationship with, international law. Three themes arise continuously throughout the podcast: liminality, domination, and the emancipatory potential of international law. Liminality is the cornerstone of the SWAIL project. It is discussed throughout the podcast, whether in reference to geography, epistemology, or time. Patryk identifies an issue whereby East Central Europe is too readily thought of as part of the West, when for him, and he proposes for others from this region, it should be thought of as both in and out, speaking to its liminal place in the global order. The result of this false conceptualisation is East Central Europe's dual exclusion from theoretical understandings of international law; East Central Europe will not feature as the protagonist in a top-down study, nor is it the subject of post-colonial research. Patryk's proposition is it ought not be sandwiched into either of these camps, rather East Central Europe's place in international law ought to be understood in its own, fundamentally in-between, position. Communicating his driving thesis, he points out the contradistinction between Ukraine's experience of the Russian invasion and Poland's roles in the invasion of Iraq. East Central Europe is a geographic space sharing parallels with the West and the Global South but sharing space with neither. The most significant parallel Patryk makes between East Central Europe and the Global South is their joint experience of domination by external states. Between Russian and Soviet expansion from the East and a history of Western imperialism, East Central European states have a long history of fighting for their sovereignty. By applying a modified post-colonial framework to the region, Patryk contends we can remove a blind sport from Western and Third World approaches to international law, which both fail to give appropriate focus to non-European colonialist entities. Considering East Central Europe's vulnerable position, it would be wrong not to consider what the recent US election means for the area's geopolitics. Fortunately, we interviewed Patryk the day after the election. Patryk identified an understandable trepidation in East Central Europe leading up to the election. In the wake of the result, he deems a reconceptualization of the region's security methods to be necessary. The issue gets to the heart of the SWAIL project, international law itself has been somewhat thrown into the liminal flux, exhibiting a bulwark of rules designed to protect states, but lacking a leader on which vulnerable states can rely to enforce those rules. These rules link to the final theme, which made for a surprisingly optimistic podcast given the current regional context: Patryk identifies emancipatory potential in international law. This optimism flowed into the podcast aboard two vessels, NATO and the Special Tribunal for the Crimes of Aggression against Ukraine by Russia, although it is clear Patryk's optimism extended beyond these, applying to international law more generally. Regarding the former, Patryk identifies a worrying acceptance among many Global South actors of Russia's justifications for its aggression when, for Patryk, NATO membership is a sensible defensive measure for East Central Europe to take given the region's aforementioned geographical vulnerability and related history of imperial domination. Concerning the latter focus, Patryk rejects a commonly advocated position that all special tribunals entrench double standards in international law and communicate a message of selective criminal justice. Patryk identifies binary state-to-state, or region-to-region, comparisons as a misleading way to interpret international law. For Patryk, special tribunals like the one for Ukraine or similar experiments in the Central African Republic and Colombia can also be interpreted as a form of respect for the demands of weaker states in the global order; by shifting the framework away from binaries like Global North versus the Global South or West versus the Rest many more factors can be identified that unites second- and third-world countries than divides them. It is on the point of unity beyond binaries that Patryk already identifies potential scope for expansion of the SWAIL project. Latin America is a region in which he foresees particularly fruitful parallels and avenues for interesting scholarship. For the time being, the project exhibits significant potential, hopefully enabling a better understanding of East Central Europe's position in international law, which may guide thought on a region that is already and will continue to be pivotal to world order moving forward.
This month, the Academy Podcast features Barbara Brown Taylor's teaching from a Five-Day in Alabama in 2022. In this episode, Barbara reflects on the spiritual significance of twilight, exploring how this threshold time between light and dark mirrors our own journeys through faith, transformation, and the unknown. Join us for a compelling discussion as Barbara invites us to embrace the sacredness of liminal spaces, to find divine presence in moments of transition, and to open ourselves to the mystery that twilight holds. Discover how twilight can be a teacher in the journey of descent and transformation, where we are invited to live faithfully in the tensions of life. Barbara Brown Taylor is a best-selling author, teacher, and Episcopal priest. Her first memoir, Leaving Church, won an Author of the Year award from the Georgia Writers Association in 2006. Her next three books earned places on the New York Times bestseller list.

At the edges of reality, paranormal beings exist; this concept is especially emphasised in the spaces of liminal zones—areas both figurative and literal that exist in the in-between.

My guest this month is Dell Rose. Dell is working on a project for his PhD dissertation on Charles Augustus Tulk and the role that Swedenborgianism played in the reforming societies of 19th century Britain. Though Tulk is often only known as the artistic patron of William Blake, he was also one of the earliest advocates of "public science" and his quest to show the spiritual nature of the material world based on Swedenborg's revelations would be widely acclaimed during the period.In addition to his PhD work, Dell is currently researching the medical theory and physicalism of Franz von Baader. Baader was one of the most important thinkers of 19th century Germany and was instrumental in establishing academic interest in the theosophy of Jakob Boehme, a very important figure in Esotericism.Dell has a lifelong interest in Christian theosophy, and millenarianism; he is interested as well in understanding the role and influence that national mythologies have played in Western esotericism, as well as esoteric currents in Germany during WW1; and also the inter-religious dialogue between Protestantism and Jewish sectarianism.This discussion, however, concerns 'ornamental' hermits. We explore this in the context of cultural history and significance of the garden and the esoteric influences that were built around this idea. The hermit and the hermitage were seen as a 'living experiment" of both esoteric wisdom with regard to the significance of plants and also the atmosphere that they created.As you will hear, this is a complex and nuanced topic, and we consider an array of influences that might have played a part in the obscure phenomenon known as 'eremitism.'PROGRAM NOTESDell Rose Research: Dell J.

Binu 'Ben' Varghese is a PhD student in religion and society at Princeton Theological Seminary. His research focuses on intersections of race, politics, and religion among Indian diasporas in transnational contexts. He draws his theoretical formulations from the colonial history of Dutch slavery in India and alternative readings of Indian American history and memories. In addition to his research project, Binu is also interested in religion and capitalism, and religious nationalisms in India and America. He is currently serving as the editorial assistant of the Journal of World Christianity. His upcoming research essay is titled “Liminality as Decoloniality: Decolonizing Indian American Christianity,” which will be published in The Routledge Handbook of Politics and Religion in Contemporary America.

In this episode, Joe discusses his preparation for Masters Worlds. He talks about his physical and mental readiness, as well as the difference between Worlds and other competitions. Joe also reflects on the concept of seasons in BJJ and the transition from a competitive mindset to a nurturing mindset. He explores the challenges of being both a competitor and a coach, and his plans to improve his coaching abilities. Joe emphasizes the importance of accepting the natural rhythm of life and the transformative experience of competition. Takeaways -- Preparing for a competition involves physical, mental, and psychological readiness. -- Masters Worlds have a different atmosphere compared to other competitions, with a more celebratory energy. -- Transitioning from a competitive mindset to a nurturing mindset as a coach requires a different energy and mindset. -- Creating seasons in BJJ, with dedicated periods for competition and restorative activities, can help maintain psychological and physical longevity. -- Accepting the natural rhythm of life and the liminality of human experience can reduce suffering and lead to personal growth. -- Coaching in BJJ requires a balance between challenge and support, and the ability to embody nurturing energy. -- Improving coaching abilities and building a strong school culture are important goals for the off-season. -- Competition in BJJ can be a transformative experience that goes beyond winning medals. -- Future plans for the podcast include merchandise, a limited series on coaching, and surprises for listeners.

Our last one...Maybe? Josh and I are realizing as we have kept this thing afloat, that we love what we provide and do, and hoping you do too! But between time and competing w/ the big dogs (Even Paul Giamatti has a weird podcast for fucks sake), it is reality that we probably should hang up our saddles. We may be back, we may not, but we wanted to at least provide one more which Josh put together about "Liminality". Stick around for after the gates close, Josh also provided a farewell song of sorts. Fascinating subject, hoping you enjoy it as much as we do. Farewell my friends and Strangers. Be safe, and we will catch you on the flipside. To the Patreons: We will suspend your payments, but the entire library will be up for a while so if you want to stroll down memory lane you can. Same goes for our regular listeners, the library will be there for a bit, and we have old Oddities that we will throw out as well.
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's show we traverse the perilous Backrooms of creepy-pasta fame, using its dark mythology popularized by Kane Pixels as a case-study of the nature and power of liminality. We begin by exploring the liminal space of the backrooms as they first appeared originally in their anonymous creepy-pasta format alongside other images labeled “liminal spaces.” We discuss what liminality even means and how it can be creepy, exhilarating and a powerfully nuanced feature of creation itself. We discover, as with most inspired pieces of art, the horror of the backrooms was a reflection of real world events at the time. Aside from the mental and spiritual aspects, we put on our nerd glasses to explore how liminality functions in the world of natural, physical phenomena. We then conclude the free show by revealing where and when the backrooms photo was actually taken with some light-hearted musing about the synchronicities around this discovery. In the extended show we continue our discussion of liminality by exploring the dread abode of Catholic limbo, why dogs are inherently liminal by nature and how the mighty goddess Hecate rules over this entire domain of related ideas. Heck we even explore, in its entirety, an easily performed ritual by the late Satanic Church founder Anton Lavey designed to elevate the enjoyment of liminal spaces to its maximum degree. We discuss whether the classical minotaur of Crete was trapped in a labyrinth or a maze before exploring in detail the potent magickal ideas of ancient Egypt as they pertain to liminality specifically. Its pretty surprising how old some of these now popular ideas and motifs really are. Then, right before wrapping up we visit the Vault of the Adepts to discuss how liminality is celebrated in the Hermetic tradition and how feminist author Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote about the backrooms almost exactly how they are portrayed in today's creepypasta but over 100 years ago. Thank you and enjoy the show! Things we discuss during the free-section of this episode:The Original Backrooms Creepy PastaWhat is Liminality anyway?

The winds of change are blowing, and nonprofits, ahem, the for-good sector, isn't immune. Today we're talking to a seasoned nonprofiteer who has experienced his share of change and made it his mission to shepherd for-good organizations through transformational moments.In this conversation with Todd Hiestand, Co-owner of Liminal, a creative branding agency for nonprofits, we touch on the effects that change has on the for-good sector, how to foster these shifts, and the value of leaning into the liminal spaces where change happens.One change that host David Schwab would like to see could be viewed as semantical—and it's one that Todd and David air their views on in this episode: the movement from “nonprofit” language to “for-good”. It's also one that he'd love to hear your views on, so please let him know your thoughts!Join us now for a discussion on the merits of “for-good” language, the ways change and innovation intersect, and how none of us are alone on the road to better.Be sure to pick up a copy of the latest ebook from Liminal, Effective Nonprofit Branding, available on their website now.
During the “global land grab” of the early twenty-first century, legions of investors rushed to Africa to acquire land to produce and speculate on agricultural commodities. In Sweet Deal, Bitter Landscape: Gender Politics and Liminality in Tanzania's New Enclosures (Cornell UP, 2024), Youjin Chung examines the messy, indeterminate trajectory of a high-profile land deal signed by the Tanzanian government and a foreign investor: a 99-year lease to over 20,000 hectares of land in coastal Tanzania—land on which thousands of people live—to establish a sugarcane plantation. Despite receiving significant political support from government officials, international development agencies, and financial institutions, the land deal remained stalled for over a decade. Drawing on long-term research combining ethnographic, archival, participatory, and visual methods, Chung argues that the dynamics of new and incomplete enclosures must be understood in relation to the legacies of colonial/postcolonial land enclosures, cultural and ecological histories of a place, and gendered structures of power. Foregrounding the lived experiences of diverse rural people, the book shows how the land deal's uncertain future gave rise to new forms of social control and resistance, but in ways that reinforced intersecting inequalities of gender, race, class, age, and social status. By tracing the complicated ways the land deal was made, remade, and unmade, and by illuminating people's struggles for survival in the face of seemingly endless liminality, the book raises critical questions about the directions and stakes of postcolonial development and nation-building in Tanzania, and the shifting meanings of identity, citizenship, and belonging for those living on the margins of capitalist agrarian transformation.

Because we are such binary thinkers that everything's this or that, and it's actually limiting. It's limiting us. It's limiting others. It's limiting society.” Fariha Róisín is a multidisciplinary artist, a Muslim queer Bangladeshi, who is interested in the margins, liminality, otherness, and the mercurial nature of being. Her work has pioneered a refreshing and renewed conversation about wellness, contemporary Islam, and queer identities and has appeared in The New York Times, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Vice, Village Voice, and others. She is currently the deputy editor of Violet Book, sits on the advisory board of Slow Factory, and frequently writes essays on her Substack from everything about comparing yourself to others, schadenfreude, and the deeply profound film, Saint-Omer. Róisín has published a book of poetry entitled How To Cure A Ghost (Abrams), a journal called Being In Your Body (Abrams), and a novel named Like A Bird (Unnamed Press) which was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR, Globe and Mail, Harper's Bazaar, a must-read by Buzzfeed News and received a starred review by the Library Journal. Upon the book's release, she was also profiled in The New York Times. Her first work of non-fiction Who Is Wellness For? An Examination of Wellness Culture and Who it Leaves Behind (HarperWave) was released in 2022, and her second book of poetry is Survival Takes A Wild Imagination is out Fall of 2023.

Navigation of imposter syndrome as an immigrant Gaza and Palestine: what does showing up as a dedicated ally look like for those of us who are geographically far away from the lands? What is anti colonial wellness? How can we manifest and co create spaces of care? What role does art have in activism? Who is Wellness for? The inspiration and the process of writing. Liminality is critical in collective transformation. How can we build capacity and portals of expansion into liminality? Fariha's practices of care during tumultuous times.
This week I'm joined by activist and writer Justin Ancheta. In this episode they share their own story of discovering they were a biromantic demisexual & the prejudice they faced as a Filipino-Canadian, queer man with a stutter. They also talk about the connections between asexuality and tarot, and how discovering tarot helped them feel more at peace with their own identity, and discovering that liminal space of acceptance and belonging.
This week, join Cyrus Palizban, Anne Dudek, Zohar Atkins, Stewart Alsop III, and Nicolas Sarian as we discuss the mystical power of the Moon, prompted by a quote from the ancient Indian author, Kalidasa. We explore the dichotomy between the moon and the sun as considered by different cultures and religions. The conversation leads us to discuss the concept of darkness and light, and the shadows that come from their interplay. From shadows we bounce to the concept of dems and then to the nature of the separation between man and the rest of the animal kingdom: namely, speech and names themselves.
