The Liminal Pathways Study
In what ways can a reliable map to the territory of change help us?
What insights can we gain when looking at current experiences of change through the lens of the liminal?
What wisdom can we glean from the timeless practices of rites of passage to help harness, cultivate and focus the confluence of destructive and creative forces of overlapping crises?
This useful and insightful book explores the efficacy of the Wendling Liminal Pathways Change Framework™ and how the idea of the liminal opens new ways of contemplating and practicing transformational change.
