OCTOBER Schedule: Step Up. Speak Out. Be Loud.

I'm feeling drawn to the righteous roots music of Rising Appalachia, and I'll be weaving that routine through our practice this month.

Get your costume ready for Make Magic, a Halloween routine that combines the fun spookiness of childhood with summoning our inner witches, stirring healing elixirs in the cauldron of the pelvis.

MORE LOVE, MORE LOVE
by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Sorrow is how we learn to love.
—Rita Mae Brown, Riding Sh***un

If sorrow is how we learn to love,
then let us learn.
Already enough sorrow’s been sown
for whole continents to erupt
into astonishing tenderness.
Let us learn. Let compassion grow rampant,
like sunflowers along the highway.
Let each act of kindness replant itself
into acres and acres of widespread devotion.
Let us choose love as if our lives depend on it.
The sorrow is great. Let us learn to love greater—
riotous love, expansive love,
love so rooted, so common
we almost forget
the world could look any other way.
