Heavy Weather

I just checked the synopsis weather chart for the next five days. There’s a huge depression off the south west coast of Britain.

This made me think about the mysterious nature of Natural Change, how the whole programme is built around the unique emergence of a personal and group process. Essential to this is the ‘ground’ of Knoydart –  the mountains, rivers, trees, shore… and the weather conditions. Within this is the social environment – the ‘container’ the group create for themselves in which their experiences of the ‘ground’ can be openly and authentically explored.

Before we start, there’s no guarantees at all that any of these elements will come together. My experience tells me that what needs to emerge, will emerge – but like the weather, unpredictability is the only certainty there is! It’s this ‘Mystery’ – the unknown and unknowable – being accepted, held and engaged with from the ground up, that holds the primary power of the process.

Behind the low pressure system, a nice ‘high’ is building into the week… I wonder what will happen.
