2026 New Year Gong Puja

Step beyond the confines of 2025 and immerse yourself in our annual rejuvenating Gong Puja. Grand Gong Master Don Conreaux received the wisdom from his teacher, Yogi Bhajan, that 10 consecutive 45-minute gong baths could shift any blockage. This New Year Gong Puja is just that—7 ½ hours of Gong magic and more.

Before the Gong Puja, embark on a journey of self-discovery through Pranayama for mindfulness, heart-opening Cacao, transformative Inner Dance and guided Journaling to ground your experience and set your intentions for 2026. Then, let the Gong Puja unfold.

The sound of the gong will repair and rejuvenate you, as the cosmic ocean of vibrations washes over your being. The harmony created by the Gongs brings inner stillness where deep healing can occur by cleansing, unblocking, and freeing you.

Through the magical sounds of the Gongs, transform your life in what can only be described as a Spiritual Puja-ma Party!

As we wake from the Gong Puja, ease into the moment with gentle yoga stretches to ground and rejuvenate your body.

Before we close the event, join an optional sharing circle to connect with others, and nourish your body, mind, and soul with an optional wholesome breakfast.

Step into 2026 as the best version of yourself. Embrace the renewal that awaits!
