Melanie, NYD Celebration 2024

💫 Are you ready to be part of a truly extraordinary celebration on New Year's Day 2025?

🏛  In breath-taking 18th century estate - a place so unique it's never anything like this before.

Imagine this…

✨ A stunning venue filled with historic charm and elegance creating the perfect setting for connection, community and celebration.

✨ An experience designed for all - child friendly, so the whole family can join

✨ A vibrant lineup featuring Ecstatic Dance, Live Music, DJs, Breathwork, Live Sound Baths, African Drumming and Dance, Acro Yoga, Capoeira, Ecstatic Tai Chi and more

✨ Multiple spaces offering an array of activities - Main Space, Workshop Space, Cuddle & Chill Space, Kids Space, Alcohol-free Elixir Bar and Café, Outdoor Sauna Spa and beautiful grounds set in nature.

Why This Experience Is Priceless

We’ve poured immense care into crafting this experience. Everything, from the extraordinary venue to the rich variety of offerings, has been intentionally chosen to elevate your New Year’s experience to something truly unparalleled.

Creating an experience of this calibre takes a significant amount of love, energy and financial input. From the costs of hiring this exquisite venue, to the meticulous attention to sound quality, workshops and family-friendly activities - every detail has been designed to make this celebration unforgettable.

While the ticket price may feel a touch above what you’re used to, we want you to know that every penny goes toward creating something extraordinary and allows us to pay our facilitators and artists ethically.

Tickets, Prices & Allocation

The venue capacity is less than NYD 2024 so tickets are more limited this time.

To make this experience accessible to all we have included a limited amount of Low Income tickets. Please only buy this ticket if it genuinely applies to you to make sure these tickets are available for the people that really need them. Thank you.

Group Discount of 10% when buying 4+ Standard Tickets together. Please email us for the discount code.

We can’t wait to welcome you and start the New Year with a powerful prayer of community, connection, celebration, dance, joy, prosperity and more.
