Zoom New Years Eve Meditation Vigil and Ceremony
Dec 31 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm

Around New Years, it is traditional to spend a little time at the temple reflecting on the past year and setting our intention for the coming year. Because of covid-19, we will be broadcasting our usual ceremony and tea via Zoom and invite you to participate from home.

We will start the evening at 7pm with some extra periods of meditation interspersed with walking meditation.

As usual, we will start our Zoom broadcast after meditation with the New Years Ceremony at 9:30pm and a festive tea. You are welcome to join us at any time during the evening. The evening will end at about 10:30pm.

We will use our usual Sunday link or meeting ID. If you would like to join us, please contact the temple for more information or to get the zoom link.
