Release Into Ourselves

​Love After Love by Derek Walcott

---

The time will come
when with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life

October’s arrival signifies an opening for transition and release in our lives. Trees begin their transformation into hibernation by changing colors and dropping leaves. It is the beginning of the season, where we reset our internal compass to make room for the coming year.

Just as our surroundings are changing, we have the opportunity to change and release what we no longer need through the practice of dance. In releasing, we come back to our core, to ourselves.

Dance raises our vibration, and when we vibrate at a higher level, we feel connected, blissful, and more centered. So let’s dance into fall together on October 8th and welcome our breath, our soul into our bodies.

With love,
Sylvie and the SDP Team

PS. No dance experience needed. Beginners are always welcome. Come join us​!
