Anahata New Year Community Gathering

As Anahata moves into its next incarnation, we invite you to celebrate and say farewell this New Years. The annual tradition of letting go of the past and looking towards the future is deeply personal and especially poignant this year.

 Our gathering this year will not be a retreat as in the past, but rather a Community Co-Creation. Coming together to honour 28 years of spiritual tradition, personal growth, and shared wisdom; to give thanks for the support that Anahata has offered, and allow our hearts to say farewell to this incredible place.

You are welcome to join us for one of our two options.

Arrive 3:00pm Sunday – Depart 12:30pm Thursday

During our co-creative time together there will be sessions with Asana, Yoga Nidra, Meditation and with Akhanda Kirtan and Havan on New Year’s Eve.  We will have space for letting go, goal setting, stories and sharing circle as well as time to connect with the sangha.
