NYE Live Ambient and Breathwork Social Gathering by Just Milk and Mina
NYE Live Ambient and Breathwork Social Gathering
New Year’s Eve at Reforesters Laboratory is an invitation to cross the threshold into the new year through sound, breath, nourishment, and shared presence. This gathering brings together the core of what Reforesters does best: live ambient music, guided breathwork, an open, social atmosphere, and a curated offering of healthy, gluten-free teas and foods designed to support the body as much as the celebration.
10:30pm to 1:30am - Live ambient listening in the Listening Room. Food, beverages and social hours in the Adaptogen Cafe.
11:45pm - 12:15am - Gentle, accessible breathwork in the Listening Room to transport us to 2026.
Details:
The evening features a live ambient performance by Tara Rook (Just Milk), whose work blends glowing synth pop, dark disco, and dreamy trip-hop into emotionally resonant soundscapes. Rooted in themes of heartache and healing, Tara’s practice spans ambient albums, beat-driven releases, house EPs, and DJ mixes, performed live via SP404-SX or through carefully curated DJ sets. As a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist, she is deeply committed to collaboration and gender equity within electronic music, creating spaces that feel both expansive and accessible.
Guiding the breathwork journey is Mina (she/her), founder of Sweetie Pie Angel Club—an Iranian-American Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Master, artist, emotional influencer, and vibe curator based between Bushwick and the online sphere. A Los Angeles native turned Brooklyn creative, Mina has been facilitating healing spaces since 2016. Her work is trauma-informed, queer-inclusive, collaborative, and playful, blending Reiki-infused Breathwork with intuition, softness, and experimentation. Mina works with clients privately (online and in Bushwick), leads Reiki trainings, and regularly teaches at both Maha Rose and Reforesters Laboratory. Clients describe her as warm, genuine, and able to hold big space without rigidity, grounded in the belief that spirituality doesn’t have to be dogmatic, but can remain fluid, creative, and alive.
What to bring:
An open heart, curious mind, a water bottle, chapstick, tissues, warm layers, and a blanket for optimal comfort, as Breathwork can make your mouth dry, may bring up tears, and make you feel extra cold. With a full house, supplies may be limited.
Come as you are, breathe deeply, listen closely, and welcome the new year in a way that feels restorative, connective, and truly celebratory.

Reforesters Laboratory is an experimental adaptogenic cafe and sound clinic located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We utilize music – including spatial, sub-bass-centered, and organic instrumentation – along with breathwork, meditation, art, plant care and adaptogenic, nutritional foods + beverages to cultivate kindness—both physical and spiritual. We aim to create an environment that offers peace, space, and clarity, helping people understand the connections between themselves, their communities, and the world around them. To that end, we offer affordable "pay what you can" ticket options on all events and classes.
