S8 / E1: Liminal

Written By Eleanor Cheetham

In this week’s episode, we explore the concept of liminality, considering the current seasonal transition, as well as how this impacts our lives more generally.

Why is exploring the liminal relevant right now?

  • Late August is a time of waiting - before the ‘back to school’ phase of September with its sense of preparation for autumn/winter

  • We find ourselves with a foot in two seasons - perhaps not ready to let go of summer, perhaps eager for autumn

  • Autumn is very much a season of all things liminal - change, shedding/releasing (falling leaves)

What do we chat about?

  • Being suspended between something and nothing

  • The three ways of considering liminality (physical, social and cultural)

  • Getting more comfortable with not knowing - or even not moving/progressing

  • The liminality of autumn and the wisdom it has to offer
