Finding Comfort Within Change

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."
—Alan Watts

It's a new year and things seem to be changing for many of us - our career path, where we live, how we see the world around us, our relationships and how we view ourselves all seem to be changing in one way or another. So often change isn't comfortable because we have no idea what to expect once the transformation is complete. It can feel scary especially when we know things are changing but are unsure of the end result. When we don't have all the details our brain tends to make them up for us and then we have a million scenarios running around upstairs all wanting our attention.

In the studio, we play with the question, "What if change and the unknown could be met with curiosity?" and we arm ourselves with the comforting knowledge that everything changes eventually--it is the only certainty we have. This knowledge lends itself to an exploration of the grandest kind and we discover a freedom in creating just to see what happens, unsure of the outcome. Carrying this freedom out into our lives creates some space for whatever arises and we remember to breathe, movewith it and join the dance.

Wishing you much love and peace in the new year,
