For more than 30 years, Sunrise Center has been a gathering place for people who long to feel connected and joyful in body, heart, and spirit, a place where healing and friendship grow side by side. Whether you come for a workshop that opens your mind, an evening of song and dance, or simply the company of kindred souls, you will be met with warmth, and we would love for you to join us.
Come home to Maui.
We invite you to stay with us on a working organic farm along the legendary Road to Hana, where the mornings begin with birdsong, the ocean shines below, and the garden offers its harvest right outside your door. Whether you come for a restful farm stay, a retreat that opens your heart, or a class that feeds your spirit, the ʻĀina is waiting to welcome you home.

Celebrating the joy of life, while learning ways to care for ourselves and others...
