Liminal Village

ABOUT

Liminal Village is a co-living and co-creation eco-tech hub in the center of Italy. We have been experimenting with forming and weaving temporary communities aimed at creating value for the world, heal themselves and heal the collective, by emphasising the balance of personal, local and global regeneration. Inspired by the concept of a Resource-Based Economy, Liminal, meaning "a place of transition" or "a place that occupies both sides", is an embodied experimental ground where value-aligned people come together to co-create and experience the future they would like to see (eg: Game B) Using natural cycles to guide progress, we focus on reinventing how we can live in harmony with each other and the planet, by "upgrading the operating system of society" and transitioning from scarcity based market economies to "access abundance". Together with other eco initiatives around the village and around the globe, we are kickstarting a regenerative network of interdependent communities.

Visitors of the Liminal Village are invited to focus on these three aspects:

Personal

Contribute something to yourself. During your stay at the village, you can set your personal goals and directions. Outgrow your old self, gind your Ikigai, learn something new, write your book or your own TED talk!

Local

Do something for the people around you and for your surrounding: Teach something you know, build something, create art, regenerate the place around you.

Global

Do something for the planet and the people living on it: Find a cause that you deem important in the world, find out more about it, then find ways to help and improve!

A place in between …

The word liminal comes from the Latin word limen, meaning threshold – any point or place of entering or beginning. A liminal space is the time between the 'what was' and the 'next.' It is a place of transition, waiting, and not knowing.

Richard Rohr describes it as:

the space where we are betwixt and between the familiar and the completely unknown. There alone is our old world left behind, while we are not yet sure of the new existence. That's a good space where genuine newness can begin. Get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible…This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed.

At the Liminal Village, we are investigating the ecotones at the intersections of:

Nature and Technology

Nature is the most advanced technology, we draw inspiration from it to engineer balanced and resilient systems (biomimicry)

Science and Spirituality

Through entheogenics, we see different interpretations of similar mystical experiences across cultures, reintroducing spirituality in a scientific conversation.

Economy and Society

We are designing an alternative economic system which focuses on the wellbeing of the planet and of the people living on it.

Medicine and Holistic Healing

We explore the synergy between modern medicine and psychophysical guidance

Self and Community

A community thrives when our integrated selves collectively echo inside out

Competition and Collaboration

We facilitate collaborative hackathons, where participants highlight collaborative and ecosystem contributions, emphasizing the victory of the commons

Ownership and Commons

Commons needs stewards and everyone needs a private space to call home

Intrinsics and Extrinsics

Intrinsic motivation is illuminated and stimulated by our environment

The Village

The co-creation village is situated on the smooth hills of the Tronto Valley in the "Marche" region, with panoramic views over the hills and the mountains. We can accommodate visitors in private or shared rooms, in caravans and in tents. High-speed internet is available throughout the village. We have a biolake, open source water purification system and food machines, a permaculture garden, co-creation spaces, and outdoor presentation facilities

Surroundings

The village is also conveniently located between the mountains and the sea, which can be both reached in about 20 minutes. There are many things to do and beautiful places to explore around our location, and we will be happy to share them with you if you would want to do some sightseeing.

Lunations

Synchronicity – image courtesy of Permalab

We align our activity to the lunar cycles to synchronize group working patterns around the phases of a lunar month. You can imagine the moon as a planet-wide ‘progress-bar’ whereby simply craning our heads to the night sky, we can check-in with the vibes of other participants anywhere on planet Earth. This is a way for globally distributed teams and projects to synchronize and harmonize their activities.

During some lunations, Liminal Village is home to Hackalongs. A Hackalong is best described as a holistic continuous co-creation process where a group of people comes together to share knowledge and passions by giving talks, workshops or by brainstorming on specific subjects. The entirety of our perspectives are valued and expression is encouraged. We enter a process that synchronizes our activity and provides the infrastructure for us to signal, branch, merge and coordinate together to co-create something that resonates with us as a collective without any need for coercion, reward, punishment or manipulation.
