New Year’s Day Celebration

Thursday, January 1, 2026
11:00 AM (ET) | In-person & Livestream

Celebrate the very first day of the New Year with us!

In Won Buddhism, beginning the year with a clear spirit and good intention is a meaningful and cherished tradition. By gathering on New Year’s Day, we set the tone for the year ahead with mindfulness, gratitude, and hope.

The program will include:

  • Meditation and renewal prayer

  • New Year’s message from Ven. Juksanim, Head Dharma Master of the USA

  • Journaling New Year’s hopes and intentions (which will be mailed back to you at the end of the year)

  • Celebration music, healthy refreshments and fellowship

Children who can enjoy at least five minutes of quiet sitting are welcome.
You are also invited to join us online—livestream available here.

With clear vision and bright energy, we look forward to welcoming the New Year together with you.
