We are so excited to be celebrating New Year’s Eve and Day with ceremony, kirtan, yoga, sound healing and a sound and movement workshop at the beautiful Western Creek Atma Darshan centre, Tasmania. This will be a powerful and soulful way to release 2024 and call in our dreams and visions for 2025 and also offer our collective prayer to nature and the wellbeing of all.
You can come for the whole program (New Year’s Eve + Day) or New Year’s Eve night or New Year’s Day only.

31 DEC: NEW YEAR'S EVE DINNER, HAVAN + KIRTAN:
6pm Dinner
7.30pm Havan (mantra ceremony).
8.45pm Kirtan
10pm Break with chai + prasad.
10pm - 12.15am Kirtan + New Year celebration.
This special event begins with a delicious vegetarian dinner followed by a mantra ceremony (havan) giving us a potent opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and invite in what we want for 2025 to keep growing spiritually.
There will be an extended period of kirtan (singing mantra together) to help us raise our vibration on into 2025. Kirtan is a joyful and simple way to calm a busy mind and transform stress into a state of peace, joy and deep inner connection.
There will be a break too to connect with community in the expanded heart space kirtan creates, and enjoy chai, snacks and bliss balls.
Geeti & Gyan’s East meets West music fuses the traditional with the contemporary and features harmonium, guitar, cajon drum, manjira, and flute.
We are delighted that members of the local community will also be offering kirtans and percussion.
This is a safe space to feel, let go, release and express whatever you need to through these yogic practices.
No previous yoga or singing experience required!
As we connect authentically to our own voice while also feeling the supportive energy of the group we also help uplift everyone!

1 JAN: NEW YEAR'S DAY YOGA, SOUND & MOVEMENT WORKSHOP + SOUND HEALING:
8am Gentle Hatha Yoga with sound + live music
9.15am Warm nourishing breakfast
10am Karma Yoga
10.45am Sound & Movement Workshop
1pm Lunch
2.30 - 4pm Yoga Nidra Sound Healing
Rejuvenate body and mind with a gentle morning Hatha yoga session with sound and live music.
After a nourishing breakfast, learn some simple take-home sound (nāda) yoga practices, which are great for calming the nervous system, energising your chakras and pranic body, and uplifting your emotions.
In the morning workshop, you will also be exploring integrative mindful movement to help free up your energy flow and your singing voice, bringing a deeper sense of embodiment into how you move through life.
Be held, surrounded by nature, in a supportive and non-judgemental environment so that you can feel safe to freely explore and express yourself.
This will be a beautiful opportunity to uplift your vibration, open your voice and expand your hearts through sound, mantra and movement practices.
This workshop is suitable for those who have had some prior experience as well as absolute beginners who might feel very shy about singing!
Nāda Yoga, the yoga of union through sound, helps purify and harmonise our gross and subtle energy fields in alignment with our natural vibration.
After lunch, lie down and receive a wonderful mantra yoga nidra sound healing for deep rest, release, and renewal. Instruments include Tibetan singing bowls, harmonium, crystal singing bowls and sansula.

Some testimonials for Geeti & Gyan:
“I highly value being in sangha led by Gyan and Geeti, for it is through their authentic expression, pure intentions for all, musicianship and the collective resonance of sacred seed sounds in kirtan that my soul rises and reaffirms that all is perfect whole and complete.” (Karen Rinkel)
“Practicing Nāda yoga with Geeti and Gyan has opened up so many treasures and is one of my most favourite things to do. So blessed to receive the deep connection, softness and openings each week. Thank you.” (Athena)
“It was so awesome. Loved the gentle movement. The yoga nidra was the best I’ve ever had and well needed.” (Emma)
“Loved Geeti and Gyan. Friendly and loving energy coming from them. Beautiful music and yoga perfect for our needs. The yoga nidra and sound was the best!” (Kaz)
“Thank you (Geeti) from the bottom of my heart. You inspired me to think differently yesterday. All my life I've believed and been told I can't sing in tune so don't bother. Now I will bother and listen with different ears guided by your experience that can release my voice. How liberating and magical that thought feels.” (Annette)
