The Delle

The Delle belongs to you. It is intended to be a transformative sanctuary in the Utah desert, offering a space for worship, healing, growth, and exploration. We are restoring the land. We are creating an inclusive venue where individuals can engage in life-changing experiences, connect with themselves, others, and the universe.

The Delle offers a refuge and a celebration circle for those experiencing life’s milestones. Birth, death, life-altering adventures, mind-bending performances, deep connection to self and others can all be marked at the Delle. The Delle provides devotion and celebration spaces for mystics and seekers.

We are working to build up the Delle.

The Delle

  • Worship

    From sacred solitude to communing with fellow ravers, worship can be beautiful in all its forms.

    The Delle supports each person’s autonomous choice in how personal worship manifests.

  • Music

    Festivals, sound baths, drum circles, jam bands, choirs, and raves are welcome at the Delle.

    Music is an important part of worship. It has been so since the beginning of time. It remains true at the Delle.

  • Afterlife Care/Reincharnation

    To many people, connecting with the earth is an important last rite. TDA and the Delle are working to offer a green cremation that turns bodies into bio char to house soil microbes and push up sunflowers. We are calling it reincharnation (until enough of you say that name is stupid).

A Temple Site

The community will build the Temple at the Delle out of mushrooms and juniper. And intentions and love. In return, the Temple will bless the builders, by providing sacred space for worship, meditation, connections, and peace. Architect Ro Bandeirinha resurrected ancient patterns and practices of connection and worship, to design a magnificently-simple circular temple that radiates outward across the desert and the heavens.

Presently, individuals are building the bricks for the Temple in their own homes with simple kits.

Festivals

Festivals and events of all sizes and flavors will be held at the Delle.

A venue expansive enough to hold communities safe, the Delle will host one-day events, weekend explorations, and more-extended options.
