Bid fond adieu to 2025 and ring in 2026 with an inspiring combination of experiences at our annual New Year’s Eve fundraiser to support the Kula Kamala Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization.
Attendees can begin to arrive from 4:30 - 5:00 PM
Festivities begin at 5:00 - 6:15 PM when attendees will be guided in a hip openers Yin Yoga class led by SwaminiJi. Class will focus on long deep holds, with props, appropriate for all levels of practice. Class theme will revolve around resolving and releasing any pent up feelings about life during 2025, as well as honoring all the gifts the year brought. Postures will be on the floor. Yin class will be accompanied by gong and crystal bowl sound healing.
From 6:30 - 7:30 PM we will serve a thoughtfully crafted vegan gluten-free dinner consisting of:
- Sweet Potato Rounds with Burrata Roasted Beets & Walnut Sage Pesto
- Frisée Salad with Apple Vinaigrette
- Mushroom Bourguignon
- Potato Cauliflower Mash
- Pistachio & Blackberry Cheesecake Towers
Drum Circle will be held from 7:30 - 9:00 PM - NO experience necessary and NO drums needed. Please feel free to bring your own if you have them!
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.
We are looking forward to sharing this special evening with you.
