The Desertās Acoustically Perfect Structure Attracts Yogis, Stargazers, Musicians and More
Located in Landers, California, about 20 miles north of Joshua Tree National Park, is a dome shaped structure that seems as if it were taken straight out of a science fiction movie. This other-worldly structure is actually Integratron, a resonant tabernacle and energy machine located on top of a powerful geometric vortex in the Mojave Desert. The unique geometry of the building amplifies the Earthās magnetic field, allowing the wooden dome to be used as a mechanism for rejuvenation and, according to the designer, time travel. These astounding abilities are made possible through the generation of strong intermittent magnetic fields, which resonate within the human body and recharge the cellular structure.
The Integratron was designed by aeronautical engineer and leader in the UFO movement George Van Tassel. Inspired by instructions from Venus visitors, Tassel saw great potential in the Integratron and gained support through donations. After Tasselās death in 1978, the building passed through several owners until the Karl sisters bought it in the early 2000s. The sisters then opened the Integratron to the public and promoted it as an acoustically perfect structure.
So what can you do with an acoustically perfect structure you ask?
Simple. Carry on the theme of rejuvenation and offer those who are feeling stressed, or simply need a break from the real world, a chance to unwind and relax. Sound baths have become a popular way to utilize the Integratronās special features. The design of the structure promotes deep relaxation and introspection through 60-minute sonic healing sessions. Guests spend 30 minutes relaxing to crystal quartz singing bowls echoing through the resonant sound chamber, creating deep tranquility. Each tone is tuned to the body’s energy centers, or chakras, offering a unique sense of peace and heightened awareness.
The Integratron also hosts events, including an ongoing āSonic Geometryā experiment that the public is invited to participate in. Guests will be able to hear the full backstory of this unique structure before experiencing specific sets of electronic frequencies. After dinner, guests hear organic frequencies inside the Integratronās sound chamber, then enjoy a recap before departure. Whether you’re a musician, yogi, stargazer, or just curious, the Integratron offers a desert experience you wonāt forget.
