About the location
This place holds a special place in my heart. It’s nestled in an evergreen forest just outside of the charming small town of Vernonia. I first visited this cute farmhouse before the pandemic during my very first yoga retreat with the Queer Yoga Church. Little did I know at the time, this place and the experience of a retreat became the catalyst for my own personal transformation in becoming a yoga teacher. And now I get to invite YOU here! This feels like a FULL CIRCLE moment and I can’t wait to share it with you. It’s truly a hidden gem of Oregon.
“I really appreciate how Sunray holds space for healing and transformation.”

A light breakfast with fruit and snacks will be provided upon arrival. In the afternoon, our personal chef will cater a full sit down lunch in the dining room or (weather permitting) outside on the picnic benches. Please notify me of any dietary restrictions 1 week prior to the event.
