What better way to celebrate "Valentine's Day" than in sacred ceremony with loved ones? We believe in using this time to recognize an expanded and more inclusive idea of unconditional love that isn't limited to just romantic partners. One that gives space to honoring and celebrating the many types of love that exist in our intimate relationships. With that, we are offering a discounted rate to those that signup for this ceremony in pairs. Whether it is your spouse, sibling, best friend, parent, or anything in between, we invite you to bring a loved one to ceremony and you'll both receive a $100 reduction in your cost for attending. Both guests still need to submit registration & deposit, please.
Each Gathering with us includes

Our ceremonies include 2 nights, Friday and Saturday. While one night of is a beautiful and profound experience in and of itself, two nights brings a completeness, a clarity, and a narration that dives deep into the core of your intentions. Both ceremonies take place at nighttime, with space in between the two for rest, reflection, nourishment, and group integrative sharing circles. We will provide nourishing post-ceremony meals immediately after closing ceremony each night, and will have fresh fruit, chia pudding, and oatmeal available in the mornings. We only seat up to 12 people for these experiences. The intention is to create an intimate, safe, tight container for everyone to journey deep while also creating meaningful interpersonal connections.

"Integration" is the most important layer of any ceremonial experience, as it is what locks in the "healing" and insight that come through the ceremony. We hold integrative sharing circles the day after each ceremony so that everyone has an opportunity to talk about their experience while receiving feedback & support from us. We will schedule integration meetings with the group that will be hosted on Zoom following the weekend, and Etheric will also schedule private integration calls with everyone.

• Michael •
Chef & Creative Doula
A creator of delicious dishes, Michael will be our chef for Heart of the Forest. When preparing food with limited supplies, in the outdoors, for 15 people, having someone resourceful, creative, and emotionally nourishing is a necessity - and Michael is all of that, and so much more! He will provide us with two organic breakfasts and two organic dinners during our immersion, along with his natural ability to create safe, compassionate, and vulnerable spaces of support and expression.
Michael is a lover of transformational experiences and a steward to the land, sea, and all of its inhabitants. As a sailor, rock climber, and firekeeper, he dances in the omnipotence of the elements and finds great purpose in connecting people with the natural world as a catalyst for reconnecting with themselves. He acts as a liaison between humans and Pachamama (Mother Nature) herself, gently guiding people into the innate luminosity of their hearts and souls.
• Our SAcred Space •
• Private, Sacred, Ceremonial Land •
Located in the beautiful terrain of southern Utah, our 5-and-a-half-acre property awaits to welcome you home. Having a history of hosting sacred ceremonies and community gatherings here for over 2 years, Etheric has returned to this small-town retreat land to make it his home with his partner, Michael. 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.
Our 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. We hope to have our yurt built in time to offer even more comfortable accommodations for our November gathering, and we will update here if that project is complete before then. The property provides 2 compost toilets just outside of the temple, and we will also be working to install an outdoor shower. 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. Sitting at an entry point to the awe-inspiring Dixie National Forest, we are also a short 30-minute drive to both Zion National Park, and Brian Head - two of Utah's greatest destinations. We are 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 our 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 Temple •
Our womb of a temple provides a unique way to experience the magick of ceremony. Impressive acoustics immerse us in a 360-degree surround sound experience, bringing live music and sound bath experiences to life. If you'd like, bring all of your bedding into the temple and setup wherever you'll want to be for the duration of your stay with us. 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 initiate all of our ceremonies and share our meals together.
• 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 guests. Take a cruise into the mountains in between ceremonies for a refreshing river-bath or hike, and if he's feeling inspired, Etheric may just take you on a tour himself after closing out the weekend on Sunday.
