to create a campfire, build an igloo, or make a bird feeder. In
summer: discover how to track animals, plan a picnic, or build a
sundial. Separated into helpful categories that divide activities

nature throughout the seasons.
The word liminal comes from the Latin word 'limen', meaning
threshold. In its literal sense, a threshold is a doorway.
'Liminal' is often used to describe the gateway between two stages.
A liminal space can be a metaphysical state - the place between
sleep and wakefulness, between life and death where consciousness
is altered, the transition period between one life event and the
next; or it can be a physical space - the coastline between sea and
shore, an empty art gallery, or the moment just before it rains. In
an age where so much importance is placed on facts and
explanations, the feelings we derive from liminal 'unknown' spaces
can disrupt our equilibrium. Yet these 'spaces in between' are
often where insight, creativity and inspiration are found. Here,
life-long liminal explorer and journalist Claire Gillman helps us
learn and grow through our experiences of liminality. Featuring
contributions from leading luminaries including Bruce Parry,
Caroline Myss, Dr Eben Alexander, Neale Donald Walsch, Phyllis
Curott, Yasmin Boland, Dr Robert Holden, Satish Kumar, Dr Mike Dow
and Felicity Warner, Claire shows us how we can navigate and
embrace liminal experiences to enhance our wellbeing and
understanding of the world.
