What is it about water that transforms risk into rewarding experiences? Risk is an essential component of any sea change. At the Sea Change Design Institute, we work with leaders and organizations who are committed to co-creating life-revering transformations.

Water blessings
Ceremony is essential. It summons us into sacred space and offers us the time to design insightful beginnings and endings.
