Kula Kamala Foundation & Yoga Ashram will conduct their annual New Year’s Eve fundraiser from 5 p.m., December 31, 2023, to 12:30 a.m., January 1, 2024. This is a dry/sober event and advance registration is required.

Highlights include a gluten-free vegan dinner; a themed hip-openers Yin Yoga class led by SwaminiJi accompanied by readings from Rumi with gong and crystal bowl sound healing; and kirtan and satsang, chanting the holy names repeatedly to invoke a deep sense of devotion, gratitude and inspiration to fuel the coming year.

Digital media manager Cassandra Bertolami says, “SwaminiJi will provide a spiritual discourse on the intention we hold for the coming year and how the teachings of yoga and Vedanta, and our spiritual connection, works to support our journey.” This will be followed by a meditative practice to carry the new year across the threshold, welcoming the promise of change and the work and process that comes with it.
