Upcoming Events 2026-27 season

We are featuring two upcoming events that we'd like to share for the public and for patients!



The Get Outside Program is our outdoor program through our healing gardens to improve your mental health and reset your nervous system.   Weather permitting, we walk through our medieval style labyrinth, bamboo walk, council circle, yoga deck that over looks the Willamette Valley, fernery, and many other healing gardens that include guided and on one's own explore. 

 

The Resonance Study is a 4 week group designed to to treat major depressive disorder.   We also have this group designed for the general public.  It is the first randomized controlled double blind study that we know of that looks at utilizing crystal sound bowls as an adjunct to the standard of care for major depressive disorder.   We meet once per week to deepen our connection to sound healing.   For those interested in the study, reimbursement may be available through your health insurance company.

The Get Outside Program

Walks starting selected Friday and Saturday mornings each month weather permitting.   Call 503-703-0302 or contact us below for pricing and availability.

Stretch, Sound & A Grounded stroll 9.12.26


Join us for a slow, intentional morning across the expansive 55-acre grounds of The Surya Chandra Center—a time to arrive in your body, connect with the land, and simply be.


We open in circle, where a simple exchange between partners plants intention for the day—part spoken, part felt, guided so everyone feels held in it.


From there, sound moves through the morning, threading each experience together as we ease into gentle movement and fascia release, opening the body before we step onto the land.


Guided walks carry us through rows of lavender and lemon balm, gathering as we go, until the land starts to feel less like a place we’re visiting and more like somewhere we belong.


We close the day with a grounding tea ceremony, steeping everything we found into a single cup.


Simple, sensory, joyful.


This is always a day for presence. Come as you are.


Light snacks and tea will be available throughout the morning and/or after the event.
