A summer evening retreat of yoga, sound, and lavender under the setting sun.

Escape the rush of the day and step into the tranquil beauty of Surya Chandra Retreat Center. Golden Hour Gathering invites you to unwind and reconnect during the most magical time of day — golden hour.

Nestled in the heart of the Willamette Valley, this intimate evening retreat begins with a gentle yoga flow on our open-air deck, designed to ground your body and calm your mind. As the sun begins to set, surrender into a deeply restorative sound bath, allowing vibrations to wash away stress and invite deep rest.

At dusk, we’ll wander together through our blooming lavender gardens for a mindful, fragrant walk — a perfect way to anchor your intentions and soak in nature’s summer bounty. We’ll close our gathering in community, with a circle of gratitude as the day fades to night.

This gathering is for you if you wish to:
• Slow down and reconnect with nature
• Release the day’s busyness and unwind into the evening
• Savor the calming scent and beauty of lavender in bloom
• Experience yoga and sound healing in a peaceful garden setting
• End your day feeling nourished and refreshed
