Crossing the Threshold into 2026: A New Year’s Day Immersion with Lalitā

Crossing the Threshold into 2026

A New Year’s Day Immersion with Lalitā with Jeanie Manchester & Mike Cohen

There is a sacred pause between one year and the next— a threshold where the old loosens its grip and the future has not yet taken form.

On New Year’s Day, we gather in this liminal space, guided by Lalitā, The Goddess of beauty, love, and luminous sovereignty. Lalitā is the living pulse of eternity moving through form— the remembrance of the infinite flowing through our bones, our breath, our lived experience.

She teaches that awakening does not come through force or striving, but through attunement, devotion, and the intelligence of the heart. In her presence, obstacles soften and dissolve. Beauty becomes a spiritual path. Love reorganises life from the inside out.

Through asana, chant, myth, and contemplative inquiry, We will cultivate a felt sense of expanded awareness— that quiet, radiant knowing that permeates the body and infuses everyday life with greater ease, intimacy, and meaning.

This is a practice of endings and beginnings: releasing what is complete, and opening to a deeper current of love and clarity that naturally expresses itself in how we move, relate, and live.

We cross into 2026 not by pushing forward, but by listening deeply— allowing Lalitā’s presence to guide us as the eternal reveals itself through our ordinary, beautiful lives.
