New Year’s DINNER

On December 31st, we will gather for a carefully prepared New Year’s Eve buffet, a dinner experience unique to this time at Ängsbacka.

Welcome 2027 witH Presence and Celebration

As the year turns, we are invited to pause and consciously choose how we wish to begin this new chapter.

“Come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.”
Rumi

2027 doesn’t ask permission. It arrives whether we’re ready or not, which is exactly why it’s worth showing up for consciously.

At Ängsbacka, we’ve been marking this threshold for years. Not with noise for its own sake, but with something quieter and more lasting: the chance to actually feel the turning. To sit with what the year brought you, the weight of it and the gifts of it, before stepping forward.

This is a gathering for people who want more than a party. Who want to arrive in the new year having actually said goodbye to the old one.

Come into the forest. Come to the fire. Come as you are.

New Year’s Eve Celebration the Ängsbacka way

On December 31 we gather at the table for a vegetarian buffet, prepared with seasonal ingredients, colorful and nourishing. Simple, but made with care. Sharing this meal is where the evening begins.

After dinner the night deepens. Live music, a ceremony of intention, a moment to pause together at the threshold before crossing it. Not rushed. Not performative. Just present.

Then we move outside. Around the bonfire there is space to see and be seen, to meet one another in the glow of the fire, to feel part of something larger than yourself.

And when the night calls for it, we dance. Sober, free, and fully alive. No substances needed when the music is right and the people around you mean it.

That is how we welcome a new year here.

Welcome 2027 With Presence and Celebration

The New Year is more than a date. It is a threshold. A rare moment to pause, reflect, and choose how we wish to begin again. At Ängsbacka we honor this passage with both depth and delight: stillness and ceremony on one side, music and dance on the other.

The New Year’s Festival is a space to come home to yourself and to step into 2027 with intention, joy, and freedom, in the company of like-hearted people who long, as you do, for presence and connection.

Whether you arrive alone, with friends, or with family, you are welcome here.

Come as you are. To be seen, to celebrate, to reflect, and to dance into the new year together.
