Blend & Balance: Working with ‘opposite’ dynamics

BLEND IT…is a workshop about a process of working with people, whether that’s with groups, families or individuals. And it’s about a process which balances humour with serious, the playful with the intense, challenge with support, questioning with acceptance, noisy with quiet, movement with stillness…

These dynamics of opposite create an atmosphere of the unusual; of juxtaposition, of paradox, of contrast and comparison; which bring into sharp relief what is and what could be. The ‘softer’ and ‘lighter’ aspects of these dynamics create relationship and connection; and an openness to experience the new, the fresh, the adventurous; both within ourselves and with the world around us. When standing next to the more challenging aspects, they create readiness and receptivity in hearts and minds – the chance to review self and life and embrace fully what is, or to explore what might be. Sounds a bit fanciful- it’s also true.
