The standout of the SUN/SETS series is our annual journey high into the Blue Ridge Mountains to the incomparable Swannanoa Palace. This monumental property was built in 1912 as a love offering, and is generously opened up in the present day to build mindful community. At SUN/SETS, we’ll be inside the Italianate mansion, outside in the tiered gardens, and ending the night under the marble archways as the full palace is transformed by a projection art installation.
This is our largest SUN/SETS of the season, with two DJ stages and an expanded schedule of workshops, sound baths, performances, music, and mindfulness.
SUN/SETS is a monthly sunset meditation and dance experience in Virginia’s most extraordinary outdoor settings. It’s a balance between party and spirit; bringing people together to connect with themselves and with others. Arriving in the afternoon, we spend time in nature, create massive picnic spreads, join embodied practices (yoga, breathwork, movement), or just listen to music. The centering moment of each SUN/SETS is the sunset ceremony, when the music pauses, everyone gathers in a circle to share gratitude, and join a guided meditation. Then the dance party takes off for a full moon celebration of iconic funky, soulful, house sets.
