Secular observance
New Year week
The first seven days of the year, when a resolution is still new. A week is long enough to find out whether a morning practice fits, and short enough to finish.
Also known as New Year, Hogmanay.
These are optional practice suggestions. Adjust the goals and follow your own tradition. Dates and customs may differ by community.
When it falls
Whose reckoning these dates follow
1–7 January on the Gregorian civil calendar.
Why communities differ
A civil new year, not a religious one. Most traditions keep their own new year on other dates entirely.
Japa has not independently verified these dates against a published calendar. Check them against the authority your own community keeps.
The practices Japa keeps through it
- Morning gratitude 21 a day
- Steadiness 21 a day
Adding an observance in Japa brings these to Today at their traditional counts for as long as it runs, and withdraws them when it ends. Your own history is never touched.
Keep the days you keep.
Japa's calendar reads as one list: what is running now, then everything starting in the next ninety days, narrowed to the traditions you follow. Browsing every observance is free; adding one to Today is part of Japa Lifetime.
