We are checking in with you all!
How are we all going?
How did Christmas go for everyone?
A relaxing time spent with those that matter, or did it feel more like a dumpster fire?
As we reflect on the past year, there comes a moment to release the challenges of 2024. Tonight presents a wonderful opportunity to shift our focus toward planning and setting intentions for the new year. It’s a time for manifestation and envisioning what we want to create in 2025.
No matter how your experiences have shaped you, this moment allows for growth and renewal. Letting go of the difficulties faced lets us clear space for new opportunities and aspirations. This is not merely about resolution-making but about truly contemplating the direction we wish to take moving forward.
The significance and history of New Year's celebrations can be traced back thousands of years and vary widely across different cultures and regions.
In 46 BC, Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, which established January 1 as the beginning of the year. This choice was related to January being named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, gates, transitions, and time, symbolically looking back at the past and forward to the future. Regardless of the specific date or customs, the essence of welcoming a new year resonates universally, transcending cultural barriers.
New Year's celebrations represent hope, renewal, and the collective desire for a better future, making it one of the most significant and widely celebrated occasions around the globe.
We are excited to welcome everyone back to the Centre from Monday 6th January 2025.
Our programs and services will be available from this date.
