Ring in the New Year with music and community!
Hail the New is one of Easton Mountain’s most cherished traditions. It is a time to slow down, reconnect with community, reflect on the year behind us, and welcome the next one with intention. Many guests return year after year for the warmth, creativity, and sense of renewal they find here, as well as the comfort of celebrating New Year’s in an alcohol-free environment that feels grounding, safe, and supportive.
This year, we also have a wonderful lineup of music woven throughout the retreat. Jonathan Moon will bring his powerful and funny musical show, “The Man That Got Away.” Nhojj will lead “Creativity as Self Care” and “Cherish Yourself,” blending music, poetry, and healing. These are just a few of the musical and poetic experiences you’ll enjoy during the weekend.
If you feel inspired, you can join the Talent Salon hosted by Adam B. Shapiro and share something of your own. Otherwise, you can simply relax and enjoy the creativity around you. Alongside the musical elements, the retreat includes yoga, writing workshops, storytelling, massage, bodywork, spiritual reflection, and time in our sauna and on our winter trails.
Everything leads into New Year’s Eve, beginning with a beautiful banquet and followed by our annual ritual filled with live music, poetry, intention setting, and quiet reflection by the fire. At midnight, we welcome 2026 with a joyful dance party hosted by DJ Sean, all in a substance-free space where everyone can feel present, connected, and truly part of the moment.
More workshops are being finalized, and a full schedule will be shared soon. We encourage you to reserve your spot now.
