Traditionally, we have met in the Aryaloka Shrine room to meditate and ring in the New Year at midnight with our large gong. Due to continuing pandemic concerns, we will be doing a virtual New Year’s Eve event that is a creative alternative to our live event. Join Dharmasukta to usher in the New Year via Zoom. We will convene at 11:15 PM with a loving kindness meditation. Since ringing a gong is impractical on Zoom, at midnight, those who attend will have the opportunity to share a poem that inspires. It can be related to new beginnings, dealing with adversity, or hopes for the future. Poetry can be Buddhist-themed or not. We invite you to participate in any way you feel comfortable with. We look forward to seeing you on December 31’st.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

Please arrive a few minutes before the session. There will be a short break between every sit allowing for snacks, rehydration, stretching etc. Participants may attend all or some of the day, and may come and go as they see fit. Please plan on scheduling your own lunch break at home if attending the whole day. All sessions are 40 minutes. Guided meditations are perfect for newcomers, and silent meditations are for those who can meditate without instruction. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
