Shambhala has a New Years eve celebration on the meditation point every year. It welcomes all brothers and sisters on the path to higher consciousness. Just be present and enjoy the wonderful sacred dance, chanting and building the tree of life. We have a procession to the beach from the meditation point and a party with food and drink to bring in the New Year.
Our celebration has been a tradition for over 25 years and many people participate in the ceremony wearing white with headbands of fresh flowers. We have Aztec dancers and musicians celebrating with us at this special time of the year.
As part of our special events we can arrange to have a friend of Shambhala take you to our secluded land in the foothills of Oaxaca which fronts the Chacalapa River. It has deep swimming holes and beautiful river rock formations to sun bathe on. There are trails on this virgin land we call, El Encanto (The Enchanted) which lead to the top of our property. The view is fantastic from up there which overlooks the river and surrounding hills.
The dirt road to El Encanto is an hour drive from Shambhala, from there you hike a for about an hour which turns into a trail that leads to our river front property. It is very secluded but nudity is not permitted out of respect for the neighboring villagers. They sometimes come down to the river to hunt or fish.
