From 9:00 - 11:30 PM, we will have kirtan with a wonderful group of kirtan wallahs! Chanting the holy names repeatedly to invoke a deep sense of devotion, gratitude, and inspiration to fuel the coming year. SwaminiJi will provide a spiritual discourse on the intention we hold for 2026. We will explore how the teachings of Yoga support our spiritual journey.
From 11:30 PM - 12:01 AM we will settle in for a meditative practice to carry the new year across the threshold, welcoming the promise of change, and the work and process that comes with it. The program will conclude at 12:30 AM.
