About Us
The Liminal Gathering
Liminal: of, relating to, or being an intermediate state, phase, or condition.
The space in-between. The threshold. The fertile void. The ‘no longer that and not quite this.”
There is an awakening amongst women in our current world who are ready to shed past skins, identities, patterns and ways of being. There are parts of ourselves we have outgrown and yet we aren’t quite ready to put them in the compost bin because then what would be left? Many of us are at this in-between place. The realization that aspects of ourselves have served us and are done and yet, who are we without those identities?
Gather: to come together, assemble or accumulate.
Women have always gathered. Our recent society has slowly crept away from this and women are feeling the ache of missing this essential part of our femininity. We are meant to be our full, messy, brilliant selves in the presence of other full, messy, brilliant women. Our souls long for this. Our souls know this. Our souls need this, now more than ever.
We don’t heal alone. We don’t transform alone. We don’t rise alone. Many of us have tried or have this feeling that we ‘should’ figure this out on our own. There’s a more nourishing and sustainable way to move through life, especially during transitional phases.
We do this by gathering. By having the courage to be seen and to see others.
- Maybe you’re coming out of the trenches of early motherhood and can finally catch your breath a bit.
- Maybe you’re looking around your life and feeling like ‘Don’t I have it all?’ and yet something vital is missing.
- Maybe you’re sensing that there has to be something bigger, brighter and more potent to this life on earth.
- Maybe you’re seeking community and connection with other authentic women
- Maybe you’re noticing that the life you’ve been building isn’t quite fitting anymore.
- Maybe you’re realizing that the relationships you’re in are holding you back instead of encouraging your growth.
- Maybe you’re feeling the nudge to embody more of your feminine.
- Maybe you’re curious about how to step into the version of you that quietly hides in the back of your mind, longing to be expressed and embodied.
- Maybe it’s time to tend to yourself deeply and watch how your world shifts incredibly

The women creating the liminal gathering
Emily and Chelsea’s paths synchronistically crossed in 2022 at a local frozen yogurt joint, when both of our children pointed to each other and said, “that kid’s in my new first grade class.” We have co-created this space because of the deep nourishment that gathering with women continues to provide for each of our lives. To be seen in our fullness as well as to witness others, is a type of enriching that feels ineffable at times.
Both Emily and Chelsea work with the earth medicine of psilocybin, have guided others as they’ve embarked on their relationship with it and found it to be a transformative ally in their independent healing journeys.
When we’re together, you can find us in the suburbs of Denver talking about curly hair, social justice, the moon, raising children with big expressions, snacking hierarchy, and various moments of Heated Rivalry.
We are excited to share space with you!
Meet Chelsea
I know what it feels like to collapse — not in one area, but in all of them at once. Body, mind, emotions, spirit. The kind of unraveling that leaves you wondering if you will ever find your way back to yourself.
I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and OCD at fifteen. I eventually got my Master’s in Social Work, partly to be of service in the world but also hopeful that maybe I could figure out my own mental health. I survived intense postpartum depression with each of my children. I have stood in the darkest rooms of my own inner world and wondered if the light would ever return.
As I laid under my healing tree during my darkest, deepest, most debilitating collapse in 2023, I realized my old ways of coping and living my life were no longer accessible to me. My marriage was crumbling, I couldn’t mother my children, I had to pause my speaking and transformational coaching career.
And eventually — I found my way back to myself.
Not at all once. Never straight-forward. Not alone. An integral part of my rising from the ashes has been reacquainting myself with earth-based practices and working with microdosing psilocybin mushrooms.
Not recklessly. Not desperately. But intentionally, reverently, with a trembling kind of hope. What happened on the other side of that threshold is something I am still finding words for. I emerged. Not back to who I was — but into someone I didn't even know was possible. A fullness. An aliveness. A way of moving through this life that I could not have imagined from where I was standing.
That emergence is why The Liminal Gathering exists.
I co-created this space because I know what it means to need a circle that truly holds you. And I know — deeply, personally, in my bones — what becomes possible when you finally find one.
If I can come home to myself, I know it's possible for you too.
With love and reverence,
Chelsea
Meet Emily
I choose to spend my life at thresholds. I know this is the space where, when supported, a woman steps into her power.
At the edge of a breath during labor. At the boundary between one self and another on the yoga mat. In the subtle whisper in your belly when speaking the truth enters your mind. In the sacred pause between who a woman was before — and who she becomes after.
I am a DONA certified birth doula, a Somatic Coach, a registered yoga instructor, and a woman who has witnessed transformation in its most raw and elemental forms. I have breathed through the unmedicated birth of my own children, held hands in operating rooms, and guided women through some of the most profound passages of their lives. What I know, in my bones, is this: the body holds wisdom we haven't yet learned to listen to — and when we finally do, everything changes.
My work has always lived at the intersection of body, breath, and becoming. I specialize in somatic transformation — the kind that doesn't just shift your thinking, but rewires the way you inhabit yourself. I have walked alongside women through birth, through fertility journeys, returning to a physical practice on their mats, through the tender unraveling of transition — and I have seen again and again what becomes possible when a woman is truly, wholly held.
The Liminal Gathering is the natural next threshold for me. A place where women can arrive in their bodies, breathe together, and find their way home to themselves — one breath, one step, one gathering at a time. I know this space, intimately, I have found this space myself in community and in ritual with other women and the earth.
Let’s experience this together. Ready? Breath in–
In love and light,
Emily
