About this Event
New Year’s Eve doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes it feels good to pause, reconnect with your body and reflect on the year that’s coming to a close. On 31 December, join us at Yogic Escape in Berlin-Friedrichshain for the Sylvester Cacao Ceremony and Release. The gathering includes a cacao ceremony, guided Me-to-Me body scanning, free-form ecstatic dance and a restorative sound journey. Take time to release what you’re ready to leave behind, welcome what’s next and set clear intentions for the year ahead.
