This is the last year we will be able to host this celebration in this building, and so it marks the end of an era. It will also be the first year of such things for the Portland Friends of the Dhamma, who will be joining us, and the Community of Mindful Living. So, endings and beginnings, fitting for the end of one year and the beginning of another.

Folks from the Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple, where we have been celebrating NYE the last few years, will also be joining us. Looks to be quite the bash!

Please join us as we celebrate the New Year. The evening begins with a potluck dinner at 7pm. Dinner is followed by simple circle dances (which anyone can do).

After that there is a Fusatsu ceremony (repentance and renewal of vows). We then sit zazen into the new year, listening to fireworks and mayhem in the streets outside. The evening ends with a ceremonial serving of sparkling cider around midnight.

This will be a wonderful evening, appropriate for the whole family. Please bring a vegetarian dish to share.
