OUR SACRED SPACE
PRIVATE, CEREMONIAL LAND
Located in the beautiful terrain of southern Utah, this 5-and-a-half-acre property awaits to welcome you home. Having a history of hosting sacred ceremonies and community gatherings here for over 3 years, Etheric has returned to this small-town retreat land to make a home for himself and our community. Devoted to reawakening the dome temple and continuing to offer intimate, healing, liberating experiences within its womb-like walls, we welcome you to take a refreshing break from your everyday life and join us in peaceful, prayerful connection.
This little slice of Earth here offers high-desert wilderness in which you can setup a tent, car-camp, or park a trailer, or you can setup a bed for yourself in our ceremony space if you'd prefer. With the intention of connecting people to nature while providing some nice creature comforts, this land offers a balance of the wild and the refined. The property provides 2 compost toilets just outside of the temple, a full shower in the Deva Domicile, and an outdoor shower connected to the Deva Domicile. Enjoy laying out on the temple's deck at night to be amazed by the show that the starry sky puts on in a region that is not dulled by the light pollution of big cities. This land is truly a breath of fresh, serene, healing air.
Less than a 3-hour drive north from Las Vegas, and just over a 3-hour drive south from Salt Lake City, this location is easily accessible via the scenic I-15 freeway - also an easy and straight shot from southern California. Sitting at an entry point to the awe-inspiring Dixie National Forest, Deva Haven is also a short 30-minute drive to both Zion National Park, and Brian Head - two of Utah's greatest destinations. Etheric is so honored and grateful to be able to welcome you onto such gorgeous, historic lands, and we fully encourage you to plan time to drive out into the mountains during and after your time with us to immerse yourself in Utah's beautiful landscape.
TENT & CAR CAMPING
We have lots of space for camping locations spread throughout this spacious property. Whether you are sleeping in your comfy car or setting up a tent, there will be room for you to find the area that you like. The morning sun rises over the Cedar Mountains, illuminating the high-desert valley that we inhabit. Camping for even just a couple of nights in Utah proves to be revitalizing in such beautiful ways.
THE DOME
This womb of a temple provides a unique way to experience the magick of ceremony. Impressive acoustics that make up this 1,500 square-foot dome immerse us in a 360-degree surround sound experience, bringing live music and sound bath experiences to life. If you'd like, you may sleep in the Deva Dome instead of camping. The temple is more than spacious enough to fit everyone in attendance, just keep in mind that this will be the space in which we have integration circle, and our concert, so if you are wanting your own private space, you'll want to camp.
THE SIGHTS
World-renowned for its unique and drool-worthy destinations, southern Utah is rich with sightseeing opportunities - many of which are just within a very short distance from our property. Visit the peaks and trails of Brian Head, the forests and streams of Dixie National Forest, the towering overlooks of Cedar Breaks, the peaceful waters of Duck Creek, or the famous Zion National Park - all within a quick 30 to 60-minute drive. Passionate about introducing Utah's beauty to everyone who travels to gather with us, Etheric will excitedly share all of his favorite nature getaways with you. Take a cruise into the mountains after integration circle or the day after the concert for a refreshing river-bath, hike, or peaceful nap in the mountains.
