Liminal Writing: A Conversation with Amanda Saint

There aren’t enough hours in the day for me to talk about the liminal space. Good thing - for you - this video is just under 40 minutes

Amanda and I chatted about the liminal space, and how I found myself there. I’m learning that I’m a liminal being at this point. I’ve fully set up camp in the in-between.

Liminal simply means in between. In between versions of yourself. Transitional phases and places. Sometimes I think about a house foyer being a liminal space - the space between where you come and go.

We talked about writing, and how it’s a form of channeling. How things just pop into our writer heads and we just have to get it out.

The liminal space and writing go hand in hand. Like peanut butter and jelly. Peas and carrots (said in the Forrest Gump voice.)

If you’d like to explore writing your way through (or just further in, if you’re anything like me) the liminal space, I encourage you to check out Amanda’s 6 month program. The application deadline is June 8th, so don’t wait!

I’ve had the pleasure of being in class with Amanda, and she has such a gentle energy. It reminds me of floating on water. Flowing, not forcing, and a sense of trust. Having that experience, I highly recommend her work, and share the above link here with no agenda or profit. Just the simple trust and faith in Amanda and what she stands for.

I think it’s what the world needs. Faith. Trust. Flow. That and listening to the trees.

P.S. I totally mixed up the 4 of Cups and 5 of Cups in tarot. Oops. Shout out to 2260 Hamilton’s Lore & Shadows for telling me in the live chat. I was combining two cards and using my foggy midlife brain to try and remember something I’ve only been dabbling with for a few years. After researching, I meant the 4 of Cups, which definitely has not spilled yet. Not actual grief, just stubbornly disengaged.
