Our Annual New Year’s Sitting with Japanese noodle snack, 108 strikes on the peace bell and fire ceremony, from 8:00 pm on December 31 until 12:30 am on January 1, took place again last Sunday/Monday.
The photo shows us after the toast with sparkling apple juice and sending off all the items we had decided to let go of into the fire:
Eli, Helen, Bob, Charlie, Michelle, Susan, Reirin, and Jonathan (in the selfie).
Onto the next year with lots of practice opportunities! HAPPY 2024!
