Scientology’s New Year 2026 Celebration Reviews Global Expansion of Social Programmes worldwide
More than 6,500 guests attended the year-end event, which highlighted organisational developments, heritage restorations and the reach of education, prevention and volunteer programmes followed internationally—including by Scientology communities across Europe.

LOS ANGELES / BRUSSELS — 31 December 2025 — The Church of Scientology held its New Year’s Celebration 2026 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, bringing together more than 6,500 attendees for an evening that combined a concert programme with a year-in-review presentation on developments across the Church’s international network during 2025.
The programme opened with live performances by international artists, then shifted to a review led by Scientology’s ecclesiastical leader Mr David Miscavige. In remarks quoted from the stage, Mr Miscavige framed the evening as a moment to measure results before turning the calendar, stating: “So while the rest of the planet may still be winding down its clocks—we’re here for something else entirely: to see what happens when a full year of Scientology accomplishments is unleashed all at once.”
The year-end review focused on several themes that the Church presented as defining the past year: growth in digital access and online learning; expansion and planning of new facilities; preservation of sites associated with Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard; and a selection of social programmes applying Mr Hubbard’s methodologies to issues such as drug prevention, literacy and values education.

Digital access and online learning
A significant portion of the presentation centred on the Church’s digital platforms and learning tools. The event highlighted Scientology Network, stating that viewership has grown to 11 times its level since the network’s launch and noting more than 170 awards for creative and technical excellence. The presentation showed that over one million students have enrolled in online courses, presenting those figures as part of a wider effort to make introductory materials available across languages and time zones.
For European audiences, these digital metrics are often viewed as a practical indicator of how international religious movements are adapting to changing media habits—expanding beyond in-person events to formats that can be accessed from any location, including across the continent.
Facilities and heritage: “Ideal Org” development and landmark restorations
The review also returned to the Church’s ongoing programme of facility development—often referred to as “Ideal Orgs”—highlighting openings and planned projects presented as strengthening local capacity for religious services and community engagement. One of the featured openings was the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, a 10-storey church serving Nelson Mandela Bay.

The programme also included an announcement regarding a forthcoming Ideal Church in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the first of its kind in the Caribbean and expected to open in the coming months.
Alongside these developments, the International Hubbard Ecclesiastical League of Pastors (I HELP) and Scientology Missions International (SMI) continued to expand Dianetics and Scientology introductory services through a growing network of Missions. In Valencia, Spain, the city’s Ideal Scientology Mission sustained delivery of religious services while supporting community initiatives through nearly 200 volunteers involved in United for Human Rights, The Way to Happiness and Drug-Free World. The Mission’s Volunteer Minister response was also highlighted for its role during Spain’s deadliest floods of the century, with Valencia’s Civil Guard recognising the Mission for strengthening the city’s social foundation.
The year also included a sequence of ribbon-cutting ceremonies reflecting broader Mission growth, with new European Ideal Missions opening in Plzeň (Czech Republic) and Budapest (Hungary), as well as additional openings in the United States, including Montrose (north of Los Angeles), San Jose and Riverpark near Sacramento—followed by Lakeway, Texas, which closed out the year’s schedule of openings.
Alongside new facilities, the presentation underscored a parallel emphasis on preservation—particularly sites tied to key moments in the development of Dianetics and Scientology. The Church highlighted the opening of three new L. Ron Hubbard Landmark Sites during 2025, presented as restored locations with historical significance to the movement:
- Aberdeen Road in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the location of the first Dianetics Foundation;
- Osborn Road in Phoenix, Arizona, the place where Dianetics and Scientology were unified; and
- Alexandra Park in Harare, Zimbabwe, a site connected to filmed lectures and Mr Hubbard’s only filmed interview.
These restorations are more than symbolic markers they are public-facing heritage sites—part of a broader effort to preserve buildings associated with major milestones, while making them accessible to visitors and members.
Social programmes featured in the year-in-review
Beyond organisational and heritage developments, the year-end review placed substantial emphasis on social initiatives associated with the Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE) and on professional networks described as applying Hubbard’s administrative methods in civic and commercial contexts.
Among the examples highlighted was a youth-focused Narconon facility in Sonora, Mexico, referred to as “Narconon Jóvenes”, presented as addressing addiction among teenagers. The programme also cited an example from Kenya connected to The Way to Happiness, with reductions in school drug use and lower reoffending rates in a community initiative led by former inmates.
Another case study spotlighted a Sri Lankan educator adopting Applied Scholastics study methods, with classroom gains, teacher training and subsequent discussions aimed at broader adoption across the country’s schools, as presented in the Church’s New Year 2026 year-end event.
The review additionally referenced examples linked to the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises (WISE), including European-based business and professional training stories presented as applications of administrative and organisational methods in everyday settings.
European context: visibility in Brussels and across the continent
Although the New Year event took place in the United States, the Church’s year-end review is followed by Scientology communities internationally, including across Europe. Scientology’s footprint in the continent scores more than 140 churches and missions (plus thousands of local communities and social betterment groups in at least 27 European nations. Worldwide, Scientology operates through more than 11,000 churches, missions, related organisations and affiliated groups in over 165 countries.
In Brussels, the Churches of Scientology for Europe place of worship and community building sits at Boulevard de Waterloo 103, 1000 Brussels, a European hub for religious services, information and engagement with visitors from across the continent.
Commenting on the value of year-end reflection in a European civic context, Ivan Arjona-Pelado—Representative of the Church of Scientology to the EU, OSCE, Council of Europe and the UN—said:
“At the start of a new year, Europeans traditionally look to what strengthens social cohesion—education, prevention and respect for human dignity. What matters most is sustained civic responsibility: people choosing, day after day, to help their neighbours and uphold fundamental rights in everyday life without having to ask the other if he/she is from a religion or another or from none.”
As presented during the evening, the New Year 2026 celebration was framed as both a cultural event and a structured review of priorities for 2026, with the Church pointing to continued development in digital access, facilities, heritage preservation and the community programmes highlighted in the year-in-review.
The Church of Scientology is a contemporary world religion founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the early 1950s. In Europe, Scientology churches, missions, groups and members are present across the continent and support community initiatives focused on education, prevention and community betterment, alongside religious services for Scientologists. The Church recognition as a charitable and bona fide religion continues to grow in a number of jurisdictions, reflecting ongoing engagement with civic life, humanitarian programmes and education initiatives.

2026 Cloud Mining Guide: Reviews of 6 Top-Selected Platforms
England, U.K, Jun 24, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — When Bitcoin first emerged, “mining” was something anyone could try on their own computer. Today, global mining competition has evolved into a computing power arms race—with mining farms costing millions of dollars, specialized ASIC chips, and a scramble for regions with cheap electricity… For the average person, it seems increasingly difficult to get involved.

The emergence of cloud mining has completely transformed the market landscape.
What is cloud mining?
Cloud mining is a method of obtaining cryptocurrency by renting computing power from remote data centers. It allows users to participate in mining without having to purchase or maintain physical mining hardware, making it more convenient and efficient than traditional mining.

Collaborative Leadership: Brian Baldari On Why Cross Functional Trust Is The Real Key To Career Growth
-
A Workplace Collaboration Perspective On How Relationships And Alignment Shape Long Term Professional Progress.
Brick, New Jersey, Jun 24, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Brian Baldari, a leadership coach based in Brick, NJ, has released a perspective examining how collaborative leadership and cross functional trust influence long term career growth in modern workplaces. The perspective focuses on how professionals build credibility, navigate shared responsibilities, and strengthen working relationships across teams in environments where collaboration is essential to day to day execution.
The discussion centers on a recurring challenge in many professional environments. Individuals often focus heavily on delivering strong individual performance, yet find that career progression depends just as much on how effectively they work with others. According to Brian Baldari, this gap between individual contribution and collective trust is one of the most overlooked factors in career development.
Brian Baldari explains that collaborative leadership is not defined by authority or formal role. Instead, it is shaped by how consistently a professional contributes to shared outcomes, communicates across teams, and builds reliability in group settings. He notes that professionals who understand this dynamic tend to progress more steadily because they are able to operate effectively within interconnected systems of work.
The Shift From Individual Performance To Shared Outcomes
Brian Baldari highlights that many professionals begin their careers with a strong focus on individual output. Early success is often measured by task completion, efficiency, and personal accountability. While these qualities remain important, they are not sufficient on their own for long term career advancement.
As professionals move into more complex environments, work becomes increasingly interconnected. Projects require coordination across multiple teams, functions, and priorities. In these settings, success depends less on isolated performance and more on the ability to contribute to shared outcomes.
Brian Baldari explains that this shift can be difficult for individuals who are accustomed to being evaluated primarily on their own output. When expectations change, professionals must adapt how they communicate, how they prioritize work, and how they engage with others. Those who fail to make this transition may continue to perform well individually but struggle to gain broader recognition.
He notes that cross functional trust becomes a central factor in this stage of development. Trust is built through consistency, clarity, and reliability in collaborative environments. When colleagues can depend on one another to follow through, communicate effectively, and support shared objectives, overall team performance improves.
Cross Functional Trust As A Career Development Factor
Brian Baldari emphasizes that cross functional trust is often treated as a soft skill, but in practice it functions as a structural component of career progression. Professionals who develop strong working relationships across teams are more likely to be included in broader conversations, invited into planning discussions, and considered for expanded responsibilities.
He explains that trust is not created through visibility alone. Instead, it is built through repeated interactions where expectations are met and communication remains clear. Over time, these patterns shape how others perceive a professional’s reliability and contribution.
Brian Baldari notes that many individuals underestimate the cumulative effect of these interactions. A single project or assignment may not determine career trajectory, but consistent behavior across multiple collaborations gradually shapes reputation within an organization.
He also highlights that trust operates in both directions. Professionals must not only earn trust but also extend it to others. This includes recognizing the strengths of colleagues, respecting different working styles, and contributing to environments where shared accountability is possible.
Communication Protocols And Alignment In Complex Workplaces
Brian Baldari discusses communication as a key component of collaborative leadership. In complex workplaces, information moves across multiple channels, and misunderstandings can easily arise when expectations are not clearly defined.
He explains that effective professionals develop communication habits that reduce friction. This includes clarifying responsibilities early, confirming shared understanding, and maintaining consistent updates during collaborative work. These practices help ensure that teams remain aligned even when priorities shift or challenges arise.
Brian Baldari also notes that alignment is not a one time activity. It requires ongoing adjustment as projects evolve and new information becomes available. Professionals who actively maintain alignment tend to experience fewer breakdowns in collaboration and stronger long term working relationships.
He emphasizes that communication is not limited to formal settings. Informal interactions, quick clarifications, and day to day responsiveness all contribute to how trust is formed and maintained across teams.
Navigating Workplace Systems Without Relying On Formal Authority
Brian Baldari explains that many professionals assume career growth is primarily linked to formal authority or job titles. However, in collaborative environments, influence is often determined by how effectively an individual contributes to group outcomes rather than their position within a hierarchy.
He notes that professionals who rely solely on formal authority may struggle in environments where work is distributed across teams and decision making is shared. In contrast, individuals who focus on collaboration, trust building, and alignment often develop influence that extends beyond formal structure.
Brian Baldari highlights that navigating these environments requires adaptability. Professionals must learn to work effectively without relying on directives alone. This includes taking initiative in group settings, supporting shared goals, and contributing constructively to problem solving.
He also points out that leadership in these contexts is often informal. It emerges through behavior rather than designation. Individuals who consistently help others succeed, clarify direction, and maintain alignment naturally become points of reference within their teams.
Building Sustainable Career Growth Through Collaboration
Brian Baldari concludes that sustainable career growth is closely linked to the ability to operate effectively within collaborative systems. While individual performance remains important, long term progression depends on how well professionals integrate into broader networks of work.
He explains that cross functional trust, communication clarity, and alignment are not secondary skills. They are foundational elements of how modern workplaces function. Professionals who develop these capabilities tend to experience more consistent growth because they are able to contribute across a wider range of situations.
Brian Baldari emphasizes that collaborative leadership is ultimately about consistency. It is reflected in how individuals show up in group settings, how they respond to challenges, and how reliably they support shared objectives over time.
He notes that career development is not defined by a single moment or achievement, but by repeated patterns of behavior that build trust and credibility. In this way, collaboration becomes not just a workplace requirement, but a central driver of long term professional progress.
