Exploring Liminal Spaces: A Workshop with Andrew Holecek

In life and in spiritual practice, we will encounter many in-between spaces: times of transition from one stage of life to the next, from one state of consciousness to another, and even from death to rebirth.
How can we navigate these liminal spaces-and unearth the riches contained within them?
Join Tibetan Buddhist teacher and author Andrew Holecek for an hour-long virtual workshop looking to ancient Tibetan wisdom for insights on how to work consciously with the transitory places and processes in our lives. Looking specifically to two realms of the liminal-dreaming states of consciousness as encountered in Tibetan dream yoga, and the bardo teachings, which explore the realms between death and rebirth-he will suggest how we can approach uncertainty and impermanence as opportunities for awakening.
Holecek is the author of numerous books on Buddhist teachings and the teacher of Tricycle’s online courses, Dream Yoga, Living and Dying: Navigating the Bardos, and Transforming Obstacle into Opportunity.

wonderful stuff! Seems we spend the first half of our lives being gaslit by society and culture, and the second half trying to undo all the damage. And thats if we're even lucky enough to become aware of that gaslighting at all!
thanks again, fabulously enlightening!

How about taking a tiny bit of responsibility... Society IS all of us...

[@norbu316]

😂wahahaaa, norbu , they're talking about their society. Everyone is the centre of their own society,it seems.

Interestingly, in one of my liminality seminars at the University of Missouri, one student made a presentation on the liminal category of "permanent liminality" (ongoing, indefininite states), his assessment was from Buddhism, and he assessed "permanent liminality" as a non-starter precisely because everything is transitional!

I'm just starting to listen to this. As a young woman, I implore you, please, stop using vocal fry....it speaks of laziness, powerlessness, not finding your authentic voice. Andrew is interesting to hear. But please....please....consider your voice and what it says and projects about you.

Some people seek out the help of speech pathologists as they feel vocal fry makes them appear unsure and less confident.[18] Researchers have found that young adult women who use vocal fry are perceived as less competent and less hireable, compared to males using vocal fry.[12] Some argue that these perceptions are part of a broad attack on women's speech,[18] noting how male voices with vocal fry carry different, and sometimes opposite, connotations.[19]
Vocal fry in spoken English is generally seen as a negative characteristic in the workplace, but a study by Duke University researchers has determined the phenomenon is becoming more common and socially acceptable
