Despite storms, wind,
rot and decay, this old
apple tree hangs on to its
roots, its outstretched
branches and its productivity.
It stands as a proud symbol
of nature’s ability to adapt
to change with creativity, strength and amazing beauty.

CREATIVE (od) RESPONSE to CHANGE
Change affects every aspect and stage of our lives, every profession, every relationship.
Some changes we hardly even notice: other changes transform our entire lives.
When change is particularly difficult or when we feel lost and overwhelmed by the immensity of the change,
we need to discover our inner reserves. We need to find our inner force, our hidden strength. When we do, we are able to recreate ourselves, to redefine our existences to accommodate new realities. We experience a "creative response to change".
The word ‘od’, embedded in the title
CoRC™ (Creative od Response to Change),
refers to a hypothetical force that allegedly
pervades all nature and, occasionally,
manifests itself in supernatural phenomena.
When our worlds change from
the familiar to the unknown, we search for
this power, this force from within.
