10:30pm – 12:30am – New Year’s Eve

Please join us at the Zen Center for the Turning Point of the Old/New Year. The event will be both in-person and on Zoom. Family and friends are welcome.

Arrive a little before 10:30pm. Bring light finger foods. The Zen Center will provide champagne and cider for toasting. We’ll have a time to think about our intentions for 2024 and what we’d like to let go of from 2023.

The event will include zazen, music, kinhin, a bonfire, and the traditional ringing of the 108 bells, followed by some time for mingling, and toasting the New Year.

We will decorate the zendo on Saturday afternoon, December 30, at 1pm. If you can, please bring cedar boughs or other greenery, clippers and string. Bring your kids, family, visitors! If you can’t make it to decorate but you’d like to contribute, please drop off greenery by the back sliding door ahead of time.
