What is Liminal Pursuits?
The name Liminal Pursuits reflects the organization's core philosophy: transformation happens in the thresholds—between old systems and emerging possibilities, individual growth and collective action, grief and renewal. This work supports clients through those in-between spaces with clarity, care, and actionable strategy.
​
Liminal Pursuits also draws on a trusted network of collaborators—experienced educators, facilitators, artists, healers, and strategists—who contribute their expertise to projects as needed. This flexible, relationship-based model allows the practice to offer responsive, well-rounded support within each client’s context.
​
Liminal Pursuits offers individual leadership coaching, organizational change consulting, inluding curriculum and program development, and also offers The Readying Table, holistic community gatherings and retreats.
​
Our practice blends systems thinking with place-based wisdom, ethics of care facilitation, and storytelling. Our approach is deeply influenced by ecological cycles and community resilience, aiming to mirror the adaptability and interconnection found in natural systems. Liminal Pursuits ultimately seeks to co-create just and liberatory systems, supporting leaders, organizations, and communities in building futures that are sutainable and vision aligned.
Our Lineage & Gratitudes
In our partnerships with nonprofits, local businesses, educators, land stewards, and grassroots organizations, we are working alongside and in honor of a long lineage of elders, creatives, and teachers. These guides have taught us how to cultivate holistic relational leadership, adaptive and learning systems, and organizational structures rooted in justice, ecological balance, and collective care. Culture bearers significantly shaping our approaches currently include adrienne marie brown, Vanessa Machado de Oliveira, Heather Burns, Bayo Akomolafe, Nora Bateson, Kathleen Deen Moore, Lisa Gill, Leah Penniman, Kate Raworth, and bell hooks.
​
In all of our work, we center our relationship with place and our ecological kin. Most of our work takes place at the confluence waters of the Wimahl and the Wallamt, the Willamette and the Columbia Rivers. These rivers are the the living ancesters of the Chinook peoples, still today fighting for their tribal sovereignty, and many other Indigenous natians and communities that are and have been steward these lands and waters since time immemorial. As we learn, work, and play in the places we call home, may we all endeavor to be in right relationship with the Land, the Waters, and their ancestral legacies. May we be in sustained solidarity and movement with their present Indigenous stewards.
