In this conversation Liminal Compass creators Eileen Hall and Tamsin Cunningham reflect on the central philosophy of the Liminal Compass journey: that in order to feel our way into a sustainable future we must learn to befriend the unknown. We talk about the ancient history theories that drew Eileen’s father, the explorer Stan Hall, to the treasure of Tayos and what she learnt about navigating the unknown from his life and work. We discuss common reactions to the unknown and what this means for the natural environment and reflect on the ways in which changing our relationship with the unknown from one of attempted control into curiosity and learning can become a pivotal act in how we approach life, nature and our relationships. How can we shed our fear of the unknown and what do we stand to gain when we do?
