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.

Meditation will be followed by a New Years Ceremony at 9:30pm, ringing the temple bell and a festive tea. You are welcome to join us at any time during the evening.
