The Liminal — Writing the In-Between

Thresholds are where the most interesting writing lives. The moment between sleeping and waking. The season between one life and another. The essay that sits in not-knowing rather than reaching for resolution. We tend to rush through these in-between spaces — in life and on the page — as though they are simply gaps to cross on the way to somewhere more solid.

This workshop invites you to slow down and inhabit the liminal: to write from the edge rather than the centre, to explore transition and uncertainty as rich territory rather than something to resolve. Drawing on Taoist wisdom around flow, impermanence, and the value of not-knowing, you'll develop writing that honours the complexity of being in between.

Whether you're working with memoir, personal essay, fiction, or life writing of any kind, this workshop will help you find the creative power in what hasn't settled yet.

What's included: Teaching on liminal space in writing and life, drawing on the Tao Te Ching and contemporary examples; guided writing exercises exploring thresholds and transitions in your own experience; optional sharing; and tools for sitting with uncertainty on the page rather than rushing past it.
