Program Description
Step into the New Year with a transformative and vibrant New Year’s Eve service that promises a soulful celebration. Immerse yourself in the rhythmic beats and spiritual energy of Kirtan, a call-and-response style of devotional singing that elevates the spirit. The night unfolds with the infectious joy of dancing, creating an atmosphere of jubilant release and connection. Allow the soothing sounds of a Gong Bath to wash over you, providing a meditative journey that cleanses the mind and paves the way for new beginnings. Engage in the powerful practice of Mantra chanting, tapping into the energy of sacred sounds to set positive intentions for the year ahead. Moments of meditation will invite reflection and inner peace as we bid farewell to the past and welcome the possibilities of the future. Finally, come together for a sparkling apple cider toast, raising glasses in a collective toast to new beginnings and the promise of a brighter year ahead. This New Year’s Eve service offers a holistic and uplifting experience, blending spirituality, joy, and reflection as we usher in the dawn of a fresh chapter.
