The Havens Project

Our Mission

To cultivate sacred spaces across the United States, and eventually the world, where individuals can step away from the demands of daily life and enter into a deeper relationship with God. Through peaceful retreat environments, spiritual study, and contemplative practice, we seek to nurture personal revelation, spiritual renewal, and a greater awareness of divine purpose.

We desire to encourage seekers to explore faith through prayer, scripture, reflection, and communion with nature. We believe that every person has the ability to receive inspiration and guidance from God, and that quiet places of retreat can help awaken that sacred connection.

We desire to support individuals and communities who are seeking spiritual growth, healing, and renewed vision for their lives.

Our Vision

Our vision is to establish a network of peaceful retreat centers throughout the United States, and eventually the world, that will serve as sanctuaries of reflection, learning, and spiritual discovery. These retreats may take many forms: rural sanctuaries, retreat farms, campgrounds, temples open to all, educational centers, or spiritual spaces within cities dedicated to healing and reflection. These centers provide environments where seekers from all backgrounds can gather, study sacred teachings, experience divine inspiration, and strengthen their relationship with God.

We envision a growing community of retreat locations that are united by shared values while maintaining their own unique settings and programs. From mountain valleys and forests to desert sanctuaries and lakeside lodges, each retreat offers a place where stillness, nature, and faith come together.

Through these sacred spaces, we hope to encourage a deeper spiritual awakening, one that strengthens individuals, families, and communities as they pursue lives guided by faith, wisdom, and love.

Our Shared Values

Across our network of retreat centers, we are guided by several core principles:

Personal Revelation

We believe that God continues to speak to individuals through inspiration, prayer, and sincere seeking.

Sacred Stillness

Moments of quiet reflection create space for spiritual clarity, renewal, and healing.

Restoration Heritage

We honor the spiritual tradition of the Latter-day restoration while remaining open and welcoming to seekers from many backgrounds.

Unity in Diversity

Our retreats are nondenominational and inclusive, creating environments where people can explore faith with openness and respect.

Connection with Creation

Nature provides a sacred setting where the soul can reconnect with God and rediscover spiritual balance.

Sacred Places for Healing and Growth

Within our network, retreat centers may offer many different opportunities for spiritual renewal. Some locations may include Latter Day Saint temples or sacred spaces open to all, providing places for quiet meditation, prayer, and sacred reflection.

Others may focus on education and spiritual learning, offering classes, workshops, and gatherings that explore scripture, theology, spiritual practices, and personal revelation. Many retreats may combine both—providing sacred spaces alongside opportunities for learning, fellowship, and community.

Some locations may also emphasize stewardship of the land, sustainable agriculture, and connection with nature, recognizing the earth as a sacred gift that nurtures both body and spirit.

An Invitation

We believe that sacred spaces are created when people come together with faith, vision, and love. Whether you are seeking a place of quiet retreat, spiritual learning, healing, or community, we invite you to explore this growing network and become part of the journey.

Together, we hope to cultivate places where peace is found, faith is renewed, and the love of Christ is experienced in meaningful and transformative ways.
