WhY liminal studies?

We are in the heart of our collective shift, and changes seeded in 2020 are starting to solidify in new ways. This year signals transformation on a cellular level, and we need spaces to be held in uncertainty, to experiment creatively, internally, and relationally.

Perhaps you’ve been in a liminal space for some time.

and you want to feel empowered, and at peace with change, in your own time and unique way, without being isolated.

So you’re feeling...

  • Deflated from comparing yourself to others.

  • Impatient with the time it is taking to make changes you know are imminent.

  • Disoriented when making decisions.

  • Big shifts in your relationships, particularly in feeling a need to renegotiate boundaries and get clearer on what is yours to carry.

  • Like you know things are about to shift, but you’re not entirely sure which way to turn.

  • Tired of making decisions.

  • Like you’ve outgrown your current reality.

  • Alone in your transformation.

  • Frustrated with communicating a feeling that is beyond words.

  • Tired of binary thinking and sneaky hierarchical power structures.

  • Like you don’t fit into ideological spaces that ask everyone to conform without asking questions.

But you desire to be...

  • Trusting in your experience of change.

  • Connected to like-hearted people.

  • A sense of playfulness.

  • Permission to experiment.

  • Creatively inspired and resourced.

  • Adaptable to change.

  • Able to express yourself and be seen by others in any in-between stage.

  • Accepting of your emotions.

  • More open to asking for what you need or saying no to what no longer feels resonant.

    HOW TO BUILD A DEVOTIONAL PRACTICE is a lush & loving container encouraging you to build your own a daily prayer & meditation practice: altar creation (internal & external), opening your voice up in prayer, formalizing who/what is your hook-up is to the Divine {so many manifestations} & what to do when you lose the thread.

    Prayer is extreme self-care. Although you can't really LEARN how to pray, you can imprint a confidence in the connection with the unseen forces at work on your behalf. You can practice. To commit to practice is to commit to the humility of learning every day. When you are a student, you can ask for almost anything. You can allow yourself the ultimate innocence of the desire for connection & understanding.

  • Thursday, July 23rd, 7 PM EDT

    Suddenly there is nothing. Emptiness, darkness, loss and the discomfort that all this spaciousness illuminates. It can feel vacuous, harrowing and like there is so much tension all you can think of is finding something to fill that space. To regain control. To find some edges.

    Welcome to the Cosmic Womb. The place where form goes to dissolve and become something new. A darkness that feels like absolute nothingness, yet it is the space holding everything. A portal of rebirth that won't respond to force or control but to surrender and presence. 

    In this workshop, we befriend the void by entering emptiness intentionally and finding the creative potential that can only emerge from the darkness.

    + We explore the nature of emptiness as a regenerative field 

    + The instinct to grip, to hold, to fill and to prematurely shape what is still forming

    + The process of shapeshifting as identity loosens and imagination begins to move without a fixed centre 

    + Draw on mystical traditions across time and how each approached dissolution and emergence as living cycles of transformation


    You will be guided into a meditative descent into the void: a space that initially presents as emptiness but reveals itself as full, alive and responsive when you remain present with it. From that space, we will create so you can experience proof of the "works" only available when we surrender ourselves within the cosmic womb. 


    This practice - descent, presence + emergence - becomes a methodology. A way of building strength, tolerance, and capacity to remain present within the discomfort of the void without grasping for resolution. Over time, what is practiced in creation becomes available throughout your metamorphosis in life. When the deeper moments of dissolution arrive - ones that reshape the essence of your identity - you will already know how to stay, how to witness, how to transform. And most of all, how to access the infinite creative potential that awaits us in the dark.

    About the Workshop:
    Plants for Liminal Spaces

    Plants have long been our guides and portals into other realms of consciousness. Their transformative power is often reserved for psychedelic and psychoactive plants, when in actuality all plants, in their subtle vibrational essence, carry profound healing potential. In this 75 min workshop led by Saewon of Sun Song, we will explore plant communication and discuss how plant consciousness can guide us across thresholds and into the liminal, where information, insight and healing await us.

    During this gathering, Saewon will guide us to connect to plant spirit frequencies to support us while we are traversing liminal spaces. While we are all able to connect energetically,  

    Saewon has also crafted a special flower & gem essence formula for participants to journey with during the workshop. You have the option to purchase this separately on her website if you'd like to participate.

  • Thursday, June 18th, 1 PM EDT

    75 minutes

    In this workshop, Cody will guide you through the ancient eastern practice of Sidereal Astrology, which means "to follow the stars" and focuses on where the planets are astronomically, accounting for a 1 degree shift each 72 ish years.

    Today, sidereal astrology keeps our charts multidimensional, and many mysteries are said to be tucked away and hidden in our stars. Sidereal astrology uses the celestial equator wheras western tropical astrology uses the earth ecliptic, and together they form the precession of the equinoxes, holding one another in a cosmic bubble around the Earth.  Many students find that sidereal simply adds another layer of depth to everything they already love about astrology. This workshop is for those who are curious to understand who they are beyond this dimension and are ready to explore the fixed stars and enter star gates.

    Like many other phenomena, it's less about controlling or forcing a process and more about honoring it, trusting it, working with it, and letting it unfold in its own time, on its own terms. 

    Chloe feels passionate about integrating the sacred with the scientific, the intuitive with the practical.

YOUR GUIDE + CURATOR

Xenia Marie Ross Viray

IMAGINATION HEALER + FREQUENCY ARTIST

I believe we are in an era of great change; as we learn to embrace our creative, multidimensional nature, we can steer our lives and our collective timeline towards a heart-centered, compassionate, creative experience, where all of life is deeply supported.

I am an Imagination Healer and Frequency Artist who believes that when we shift consciousness, we shift reality. Through a non-dogmatic and multidisciplinary approach, we can learn to honor our unique perspectives in a way that serves the whole.

Xenia’s Workshops

  • A sacred hour to develop the courage to be clear with the Universe on how you’d like to be held while you are in your unique change process. A practice to own your unique relationship to the Universal web of life.

  • 3 Ceremonies to Collaborate with the Liminal

    Being Initiated in The Liminal Ceremony

    What happens when we petition All That Is to open us up to blessings and forms of abundance and evolution beyond our mind’s limited understanding? In these ceremonies, we call in the cosmos, nature, and all that Loves us to be the designers of our own rite of Initiation. We reclaim the Initiation of adulthood hidden by our overculture, and learn to place a crown of Love on our own heads to acknowledge our spirits and hearts.

    Creating in the Liminal Ceremony with Xenia (60 mins)

    Love is a scientist, a gardener, a healer, and an artist. What happens when we allow ourselves to joyfully create in the unknown spaces of our lives? What might we create when we let go of expectations, old identities and the need to arrive anywhere at all? Expect: Channeled writing, imaginal journeys, energy work, and inspiration from the unknown and unexpected.

    Connecting to Our Power in the Liminal Ceremony

    True power is incorruptible, yet many of us have pushed away our power because we have inherited false definitions of power, largely associated with the abuse of it. In this ceremony, we call our power to fill our cells, we invite the energies of Love and our Spirit’s unique self-guidance to soak into our core at the pace right for each of us. We say yes to our gifts, learn to honor our sacred needs, and reimagine the definition of POWER that is seated in LOVE.

  • Reflection and integration seal our magical work, and help us receive the lessons and miracles we have been graced by with more lucidity and receptivity. In this monthly space we experiment with witnessing ourselves, acknowledging our experiences and feeling the depths of our feeling to cultivate grace and reverence for who we already are. Being witnessed by others magnifies our magic manyfold.

  • Creativity is a transmutational and transformational force. In these labs, we experiment through writing, drawing, collaging, and sketching with the spirit of mystery as our collaborator. We allow ourselves to learn by making in the spirit of Octavia Butler’s sentiment that ““All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you.” Open to all levels.

Curriculum

At the end of Liminal Studies, you will have developed and / or integrated these core understandings and ways of being :

  • You will be open to trusting the mystery in life and seeing its beauty. You will dissolve your judgment of resistance at your own pace. You will be able to loosen your grip on the need to control outcomes, giving space for the universe to suppport you.

  • You will accept that your evolutionary process is unique and see the intelligence of your organic path. You will develop the courage to connect to others with authenticity and give yourself grace.

  • You will loosen rigidity and relax into flowing with divine timing. You will feel connected to All That Is as your default setting. You will feel resourced in yourself no matter what stage of transformation you are in.

Field Notes

Words from past graduates.

  • Every offering from Xenia feels like a gift from/to/through the universe. The creative capsules that Xenia stewards are so divinely potent that I really did NOT want to miss them (and replay them several times afterwards). I have made friends for life in these spaces. I have rediscovered my sense of play and depth of imagination. I have met myself, time traveled, and reintegrated parts of me that had been missing for years.

    Wolf

  • "Xenia's work gently and thoroughly shakes up your whole being."

    ATHENA SAYAKA

  • "Xenia marries intellectual knowledge, intuition, and self trust in a beautiful way, making her the perfect guide for such a journey!"

    KOLE
