28. Thrown Down the Well & Making Space for Grief

---

Today’s conversation explores The Season of Liminal Space. It’s a vast topic, and in the context of the pandemic, I’m sharing four elements of the season I’ve noticed most profoundly in the past two years:

1. Recognizing and making space for grief

2. Adopting new schedules and routines

3. Being comfortable with discomfort (or at least trying to be)

4. Re-Entry and considering a post-liminal space experience
