Take time this New Year’s Eve to cultivate the next year. Most people make a New Year’s Resolution, and most fade after just a few months. But the essence of our resolutions are always so inspiring and positive. What happens? This year utilizing our yoga practice we will take time to tune in, become fully aware of our wants and needs, and distill them into our resolutions for 2019. No prior experience necessary and all levels of yoga are welcome. This is both a deeply inward experience and a joyful celebration of our aliveness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~About the Event~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KIRTAN:
Through call and response chanting we have the opportunity to create a deeper connection to yourself, one another, and the Divine. We experience the stillness of our true self by letting the mind to quiet down and our inner self-expand in the sound of sacred chanting. Through this, each one of us can enjoy the peace born of our true nature. When we chant we open to pure love, and through pure love, we bring peace to the world and to ourselves.

Sangita Devi lead kirtan on a weekly basis bringing community together to share in satsang and devotion in Asheville and the Southeast region for 15 years. For more info check out: www.SangitaDevi.com

This will be the 14th consecutive New Year’s Eve event that Sangita Devi has hosted. We are excited to once again bring our amazing community together to celebrate and bring the new year in together.

WHAT IS ECSTATIC DANCE?:
It is free-form dance to a soundtrack that is designed to take you on a journey from a deep reflective space, all the way up to a driving high energy peak – and back down again. Some people meditate, some people do yoga, and some dance into ecstatic joy. The most important thing is that other peoples’ safety is honored.

SOUND HEALING:
Sound therapy helps to slow our breath and shift our brainwaves. As the powerful sound waves wash over our bodies, stress and worry dissipates, and our minds thoughts move into the background. Focusing on the landscape of peaceful sounds helps to activate the deep intelligence within our body and spirit…opening us up to a greater perspective, allowing subtle shifts, and healing to happen spontaneously.

Here are some of the instruments that Billy uses for each session: planetary gongs, gemstone and crystal (alchemy) bowls, West African harp, didgeridoo, handpan, and many other special instruments.

SACRED CACAO:
Binah Crabtree has used her depth of knowledge of herbs and cacao to create special blends used for Cacao ceremonies. A wide range of raw cacao treats from Sacred Cacao blends will be available for purchase in the Lounge.

TEA:
The Tea Lounge is an Intentionally curated space with a delightful selection of aromas, tastes, smell, lighting, and subtle soundscapes. The magic of the Tea Lounge allows people to take a moment, connect and engage with one another. We are excited to share with you this experience of relaxation, rejuvenation, and celebration!

****CO-CREATIVE ALTAR & ART-SPACE****
We will have an altar where you will be able to write, draw and paint your intentions into a glorious and bold new year! We’re really excited about this to find out more, you’ll just have to come on New Year’s Eve! :D

CHILDREN Please note that children are welcome to attend with their families, but there will be no childcare provided. We ask parents to keep your children with you and help them to respect the quiet times, ESPECIALLY during the intention-setting ceremony. This is important. Thank you! ***

VOLUNTEERING: There will be a limited number of work/trade options for people who would like to participate but who are tight with funds – or who would like to contribute in a non-financial way. If this is something that interests you, please email Samata at [email protected]
