​​​Today marks the spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of fall south of the equator. Spring is honored in the direction of the East.

East is where the sun rises and the start of new beginnings as spring awakens. Let us embrace spring's lengthening days and the burgeoning energy it brings while those in the southern hemisphere prepare for winter hibernation and quiet reflection.

During this time, I invite you to imagine the sunrise each morning as a new dawn and a new moment in life. For those like me who are not awake when the sun rises, we can see it in our mind’s eye before we begin our day. Let's be curious about what the next moment will bring--even if it only lasts a few minutes; it is enough to bring it into awareness.

For those of us dancing 5Rhythms tomorrow in celebration of the equinox, we will bring our awareness to the beginning of each rhythm and song, notice where the dance takes us, and surrender to the dance.

With love,
Sylvie and the SDP Team
