become a member

join a vibrant community of people shaping an alternative way of life in this changinng world through collaboration and innovation

Liminal is home to people that want to build the foundations of an alternative way of life together. It is a community of energized individuals that resist feeling overwhelmingly by our rapidly changing world. That measure their plans in centuries while the status quo rewards instant gratification, short-term thinking and distraction across the board.

Becoming a member of Liminal means engaging in a journey that is rewarding because it is challenging and full of unknowns. It means embracing the idea that true societal progress today requires that we get back to the drawing boards. That we come up with a common vision, and perform grounded experiments together until we get there.
