Navigating Change and Uncertainty with I Ching Workshop (1 of 5)

Change and the uncertainty about what it brings have been unavoidable aspects of life since the beginning of time. Despite modern advances in technology, the ability to navigate change and deal with uncertainty in both professional and personal life remains as much an art as it is a science.

Over the millennia, the ancient Chinese had observed and documented a finite number of recurrent patterns of change in what is now known as the Book of Changes, or the I Ching. Throughout history, this work has been referred to as a book of fundamental principles and wisdom by philosophers and emperors, and more recently, by scientists, mathematicians and businessmen.

Empirical studies had demonstrated that the time-tested method of self-reflection and perception of reality based on the I Ching is very effective in stimulating intuition and creativity by helping illuminate the intangible and often invisible factors in decision making processes. Carl Jung, for example, referred to the I Ching as "an intuitive technique for grasping the total situation," a key skill in navigating change and uncertainty. This workshop will serve as high-level introduction to the I Ching and the basic methods for consulting it.
