Ring in the New Year Like Never Before
For the past thirty or more years, Shambhala Resort in Zipolite has been opening their doors to locals and visitors alike for a New Years party like no other.
The Shambhala website states, "It welcomes all brothers and sisters on the path to higher consciousness. Just be present and enjoy the wonderful sacred dance, chanting and building the tree of life. We have a procession to the beach from the meditation point and a party with food and drink to bring in the New Year. Our celebration has been a tradition for over 25 years and many people participate in the ceremony wearing white with headbands of fresh flowers. We have Aztec dancers and musicians celebrating with us at this special time of the year."
This describes my experience perfectly. Everyone wore white, I got a beautiful floral headdress, there was dancing and chanting, Shambhala generously shared free food and (non-alcoholic) drink with everyone, and I even had my chakras cleansed by a traditional healer at the bonfire.
To make your experience more meaningful, considering volunteering in the day or days leading up to the event. They always need people to help with decorations and other preparation work, and considering that the event is free for everyone the least you can do is spend a few hours helping out.
