📜 Course Description

Liminal work is the art of standing at the threshold — the quiet space between worlds, states of consciousness, and moments of becoming. In this course, students are introduced to the foundations of liminality as it appears in myth, magick, trance, and lived spiritual experience.

Through guided exploration, reflective exercises, and gentle experiential practices, students will learn to recognise liminal moments, enter and exit altered states safely, and work with symbols, spirit allies, and subtle guidance. Emphasis is placed on grounding, ethics, discernment, and integration, ensuring that liminal exploration remains both meaningful and sustainable.

This course forms the gateway into the Domus Liminis mastery stream and provides essential skills for further work in trance, spirit navigation, ancestral pathways, and other skills associated with traditional Shamanism and Hedge Riding.

✨ By the end of the course, students will:

• Understand the concept of liminality across mythic, cultural, and magical traditions

• Recognise liminal states and thresholds in both inner and outer experience

• Enter, hold, and exit liminal moments with confidence and grounding

• Develop awareness of symbols, messengers, and subtle impressions

• Explore spirit allies and guides with respect, ethics, and discernment

• Establish healthy energetic boundaries and practices of spiritual sovereignty

• Integrate insights from liminal experiences into daily and spiritual life

• Build a reflective, embodied foundation for advanced liminal and trance work
