Liminality
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, Liminality has been mentioned in one podcast episode on HUBERMAN LAB (Oct 2025).
In anthropology, liminality is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation that occurs in the middle stage of a rite of passage, when participants no longer hold their pre-ritual status but have not yet begun the transition to the status they will hold when the rite is complete. During a rite's liminal stage, participants "stand at the threshold" between their previous way of structuring their identity, time, or community, and a new way.
