Chocolate Groove - New Years Eve 2025 - THE GOLDEN PORTAL

Toronto’s Biggest Alcohol-Free New Year’s Celebration

Church of Holy Trinity • Two Floors • One Powerful Portal

New Year’s Eve marks a threshold — a moment to honour the year behind us and step with clarity, intention, and celebration into what lies ahead.

This year, we welcome you into THE GOLDEN PORTAL — an elevated New Year’s experience designed to illuminate our joy, our connection, and our collective emergence into a radiant 2026.

Returning for our 4th annual intentional New Year’s Eve celebration, Chocolate Groove transforms the iconic Church of Holy Trinity into a multi-floor immersive experience featuring movement, ceremony, workshops, and our largest projection-mapping installation of the entire year by Visual Prana.

Once again, this proudly stands as..

🌕 MAIN HALL (Ground Floor) — The Dance Temple

A stunning wooden dance floor, cathedral ceilings, pristine acoustics, immersive full-room projection mapping by Visual Prana, live DJs, ceremony, live art, vendors, and our upgraded Unity Productions sound system.

As midnight approaches, the Main Hall ignites into full-power ecstatic expression — a high-energy communal activation of movement, breath, and sound, carrying us through The Golden Portal into 2026 with joy, presence, and celebration.

✨ Altar Lounge (Inside the Main Hall)

Located directly behind the DJ booth, this sacred altar area becomes a warm sanctuary with cushions, glowing ambience, and the most breathtaking view of Visual Prana’s projection-mapped cathedral wall.
A place to ground, integrate, and recharge while staying immersed in the magic of the room.

🌙 UPSTAIRS CHAPEL (Second Floor) — The Inner Golden Portal

A serene, reflective sanctuary dedicated to breathwork, meditation, embodiment, and inner exploration throughout the night.

At midnight — while the Main Hall erupts in ecstatic celebration — the Chapel becomes a meditative “inner ball drop” experience, guiding you into 2026 through a deep sound bath, guided meditation, and subtle energetic activation.
A quiet, introspective passage into the new year.

We are infusing 2025 with a sense of elevated mystery and revelation.
Our full lineup of DJs, musicians, facilitators, and artists begins rolling out next week.

• Ecstatic dance DJs
