New Year's Eve Ceremony & Celebration: Presence, Belonging and Intention (VF1S22)

Registration will remain open through January 1, 2023. If you cannot attend the program when it is live online, but you want access to the recording, you must register BEFORE registration closes. A recording* will be available following the program in approximately 10 days.

Description:
We’ve completed another circle around the sun. It is a moment to celebrate, enjoy each other’s company and honor the ways that time—and everything else—slips through our fingers. Please join us as we reflect on this past year, on the timelessness of the Dharma, and imagine a future that reflects our deepest aspirations. 

We’ll dwell in the safety and reassurance of 2,600 years of lineage as we collectively feel the longing to be free. We gather to release what no longer serves, bow to what is beautiful in each of us and consider our roles as midwives of goodness.

Expect bells, chanting, silence, community, and fantastic music. Bring your whole heart as our global saṅgha connects one more time in 2022. All are warmly welcome to this evening of Dharma reflection and ceremony.
