The circle is the altar.
Every gathering at Haven returns to the circle. Not because it is a format we chose, but because the circle is the oldest human technology for truth. It holds what cannot be held alone: presence, forgiveness, belonging, transformation.
This is the anchor of the community's prayer. A permanent sacred space, built by the community, for the community. A home for what we keep returning to.
The dome is not incidental. Its geometry supports and amplifies the energetic field that the circle creates. The chakana, the sacred cross at the center of the Andean tradition, lives in the structure of this building. Sacred architecture for sacred work.
What happens here
A community temple in service to coherence.
When a circle reaches alignment, something shifts in the room. The dome is built to hold and amplify that field.
The circle is a return to wholeness. A deep sense of belonging, held by the community that gathered it into being.
The hardest truths find a home in the circle. Held, witnessed, and released.
Sacred ritual. Rites of passage. The chakana alive in the community.
Where the sacred can be held with reverence and care. No performance required. Only presence.
People enter as one thing. They leave as another. The temple makes that possible.
The Structure
A 30-foot faceted polygon dome, elevated on round timber pillars above the land, with a grand staircase entry and windows that open to the field. Panels the community will name. A doorway built wide enough to welcome everyone.
Our builder Cam has the design model ready and is building a prototype on his own land. This campaign raises $50,000 to build it fully — foundation, frame, interior finish, stairs, and light. This is not a dream. It is a construction project with a start date.
Haven Community Village — this is what belonging looks like
A true community build
This temple desires to be built by the community that is connected to and stewards this land. There are three types of contributed capital. All are necessary to bring this vision to life.
Human Capital
Builders, artisans, work day participants — skill and presence offered freely in service of the land and the people who love it.
Intellectual Capital
Designers, architects, craftspeople, dreamers. The genius within this community is extraordinary. Your vision is what shapes a dream into living structure.
Financial Capital
Those who give financially make it possible for this temple to rise from the ground. That generosity is received here with the same reverence as any other form of service.

Want to help us build?
Seven days on the land. Three ceremonies. One temple rising.
Our first milestone is $15,000 — the materials we need to break ground on the dome. The Huachuma Work Week is Haven's first-ever community build: a full week of land work, Huachuma ceremony, shared meals, and deep connection on Haven's 72-acre property in Central Texas.
You don't have to give money to help build this temple. You can show up with your hands. Your labor becomes part of the structure. Your prayer goes into the walls. Every person who comes for the Work Week is contributing to something permanent.

Where We Stand
Every gift moves us closer to breaking ground.
Become a founding supporter
Your name lives in this temple. Not on a plaque. In the structure itself. Carved, etched, and permanent.
Foundational Pillar
Five pillars anchor this temple into the ground. Each one carries one of our five core agreements: honor agreements, clear and direct communication, embodied leadership, regulated presence, stewardship of the sacred. Your name is carved into one of these posts. The temple literally rises from your commitment.
"You are a pillar. This temple rises from your commitment."
Structural Support
Eight panels form the sides of the dome — the walls that hold the field of the circle. Each panel will be dedicated to one of our Structural Support sponsors. Your name, etched into the structure, facing everyone who gathers here.
"You hold the walls. Your presence is woven into this space."
Open
Community Stairway
The staircase is the first thing you cross when you enter the temple. Every name here is a welcome. Every contributor who steps up at this level gets their name written on the stairway — honoring the community support that made this possible.
"You are the welcome. Every soul who enters passes by your name."
Custom
Sacred Donor
Want to contribute in a way that isn't listed here? Reach out directly. We welcome custom contributions — in-kind skills, materials, design work, or a gift in any amount. Every form of support counts.
"Your gift shapes what becomes possible here."
