Events at Sunrise Center

Sunrise Center was created in 1976 as a California educational nonprofit organization. It has been offering programs continuously since then with the exception of a five year hiatus from 1979 to 1983. Sunrise Center’s purpose at its inception and still true today is to enhance the harmonious connection of people with one another and with the environment. To that end, we have promoted hundreds of classes in Nonviolent Communication, Tantra, dance and movement, massage, health and wellness, environmental issues, and other topics.

Reverence Tantra retreat

March 1 - 2, 2027
Hale Akua Garden Farm & Eco-Retreat
The Reverence Tantra Retreat is a four-day immersion in sacred Tantric practices on the island of Maui, just before Valentine’s Day. Through breathwork, movement, meditation, and ritual, you’ll open your Kundalini pathways to expanded ecstasy and awaken the flow of Source energy within. Together, we will explore deep embodiment, heart-centered presence, and sacred connection—with yourself, with a partner, or with others. This retreat is an invitation to experience the divine through the body, in a container of reverence and love. This is heart-centered Tantra, rooted in the lineage of Evalena Rose. […]
