Midnight at 7: An Early New Year’s Eve Celebration

Midnight at 7 is a New Year’s Eve ceremony designed for sacred celebration without the overwhelm, noise, late-night push, or alcohol. The evening will be guided by Tisse Mallon, who is known for creating thoughtful, connective spaces that invite reflection, honesty, and presence. We’ll mark the closing of the year together by calling it midnight early, so we can celebrate and still honor our need for ease and rest.

The evening will be a meaningful gathering that weaves together ritual, reflection, laughter, food, and stillness. We’ll begin by honoring Source through a shared altar of the 4 elements, gratitude offerings, and presence. From there, we’ll reflect on the year through both celebrations and lessons, giving space to what nourished us and what shaped us.

There will be time for sharing nibbles and tea, connective games, and easy conversation. A heart-centered connection ritual invites us to name the values we’re carrying and to acknowledge one another’s impact with simplicity and sincerity.

At 7pm, we’ll celebrate “midnight” together with a guided ritual involving bells, bowing, chanting, and sitting in stillness to honor the year as it completes. This moment is about letting the year land, closing it with intention, and acknowledging all that was lived.

Come as you are. Leave grounded, connected, clear-headed, and free to head home by 8pm.

• A warm, welcoming, alcohol-free environment centered on presence and connection
• A mix of guided ritual, reflection, and lighthearted play — meaningful without being heavy
• Time to write, share, listen, and witness, with no pressure to speak more than you want
• Nibbles and tea available throughout the evening
• A shared altar and simple ceremonial practices (bells, bows, chanting, stillness)
• An early “midnight” celebration at 7pm, honoring the close of the year together
• Space to sit, move, laugh, reflect, or rest — participation is always invitational
• A calm, grounded closing so you can head home by 8pm feeling complete and settled

No alcohol. No late-night push. No need to perform.
Just a thoughtful way to close the year in good company.

• A small item for the altar that represents gratitude or appreciation from your year
  (You’ll be able to take this home with you after the ceremony.)
• Your journal and pen for reflections you might like to write down
• Optional: A food item or non-alcoholic beverage to share
  (Totally welcome, never required.)
• Comfortable clothing you can sit, stand, and move gently in
• A light layer in case you get chilly during stillness or meditation
• An open heart and an honest presence — that’s the most important part
