New Year’s Eve Celebration: Meditation, Tara Chanting & Community

Step into the New Year with peace, joy, and inspiration. Join us for a relaxed and meaningful evening of guided meditation, uplifting Tara chanting, and time to connect with like-minded people.

  • Guided Meditation – Easy, calming meditations to help you start the year with a clear and happy mind.
  • Social Time – Enjoy a relaxed ‘potluck’ vegetarian buffet, light refreshments, and warm, friendly conversation. Feel free to bring a dish to share!
  • Tara Chanting – A beautiful and melodic practice to release the worries of the past year and invite fresh energy and inspiration. The first session begins at 11:15 pm, leading us peacefully into the New Year. After that, you are welcome to join any — or all — of the remaining five sessions held over the following 24 hours.

No experience is needed — just bring yourself. This is a wonderful way to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new with positivity, peace, and heartfelt connection. Everyone is warmly invited.
