Namaste and welcome.

Today, what I'd like to do is explore how we relate to change.

And in particular, how we relate to the insecurities, the anxieties, the fears of loss that come with change.

And of course, some part of me wants to say, raise your hand if you can relate to any of this.

But it's okay.

I think we're all in it together.

I think we all get it.

That there's a huge vulnerability, a huge fear that's activated in our society right now, more than usual.

Our collective level of mistrust and trauma has really been ramped up through the multiple pandemics that we're experiencing.

You know, just the loss of human contact or the diminishment or decrease for our social animal cells is really painful.

And then with the spread of COVID and the worries and concerns whether it's for ourselves or others, the financial insecurities, how many are really struggling and often the most vulnerable.

And so we have this shared societal wide anxiety going on.

And it's completely marbled with feelings of hate and anger.

So many of us are so scared about the leaning of our society towards more and more violence and oppression towards the most vulnerable.

We're scared about the growing disease, disease of our larger body, the earth.

So there's a lot.

And even if the backdrop weren't so dramatic right now, we're always facing insecurity in our personal lives.

You know, that fear of loss whether it has to do with our own bodies, which inevitably get sick and go through all sorts of deteriorations.

Whether has to do with our health or other peoples that we love.
