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.
This will be the first time in several years we’ve had the option to gather for NYE in person. Expect Dharma reflections, ritual, chanting, community, and dancing to fantastic music. Bring your whole heart as our global Saṅgha connects one more time in 2023. All are welcome for this joyous celebration.
