Join the Shin-Issei Affinity Group to welcome the Year of the Horse with our annual virtual Shinnenkai (Japanese New Year gathering) — a warm, energizing networking session to start the year with connection and intention.





You’ll get to experience Kakizome, a beloved New Year tradition of writing an inspirational word, hope, or resolution to guide the year ahead. Whether you come to reconnect with familiar faces or meet new members for the first time, you’ll leave feeling grounded, inspired, and more connected to the community. English and Japanese breakout rooms will be available so you can participate in the language that feels most comfortable.
