The main focus is letting go of what has been, knowing how to appreciate the teachings received from the past year and awakening our visions for the new year while taking care of what is in our hearts.

Every year we dedicate some time with an important exercise to see out the year. Each participant creates their own “vision board” with a collage. Creating a collage of images that invoke our visions and intentions that we want to realise in the coming new year. Some participants brings their vision board made the previous year and we burn them on the bonfire outside on the evening of the 31st singing and playing together.
On New Years Eve you are invited to experiment…
…with dressing up! The invitation is to bring something to wear, different from usual, to experiment with a bit of shape shifting. To bring out your hidden or not often seen side. Your most chic, shabby chic, retro or future, serious or playful or sexy part of you you can bring out. Experimenting with dressing up is one of the few opportunities available to try out a new identity for a short time and see how it feels.

If you’re not the type to dress up, if the thought of it stresses you for some reason no problem! We’ve always had a lot of fun with groups over the years, where some have a dressed up and some not. So no problem, the choice is yours, the main reason for wearing something unusual is the simplest but most powerful: the fun and enjoyment of the experience. Of letting go!
