The concept behind this book
What is a Liminal Moment?
It is that time when we find ourselves in the middle of a threshold, a rite of passage. We are between two places. It speaks to the uncertain transition between where you've been and where you're going physically, emotionally, or metaphorically. To be in a liminal moment means to be on the precipice of something new but not quite there yet. The word "liminal" comes from the Latin word “limen,” which means threshold.
In 2020 everything changed. It sparked the beginning of a shift that happened globally for each and every one of us. The world as we knew it, would never be the same. This time instigated the beginning of a free fall. New routines, new energy, new understandings, new rules. New ways of living. New ways of dying. Nothing would ever be the same again. It's hard to believe everything that actually happened in 2020.
Australian bushfires, West Coast bushfires, the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matters protests, Trump impeachment, Beirut explosion, Prince Harry and Megan quit the royal family, Harvey Weinstein verdict being handed down, mass cancellations, international travel and events to a stand still. With each event we were called to get more and more comfortable with uncertainty.
And on an individual level lives changed forever too. We are seeking stories from individuals to share their own 'liminal moment' from 2020 - 2023. This book is not about Covid-19 or a pandemic. It's about a spark, the beginning of a shift, a free fall.
It's about the way we changed individually, what we learnt about ourselves and how we have healed.
It's time to close the door on this time. If you know you have a story you'd like to share, your invitation awaits.
Let's heal the world through stories.
