I'll try anything once (as long as it doesn't have anything to do with jumping out of planes)...so when I stumbled upon this, I figured - HEY WHY NOT. Keep in mind -- I have zero patience for yoga or meditation. This was sort of like that. The part that confused me the most was that the noise those bowls made WERE SO DAMN LOUD it bothered me. I couldn't relax. The 2 friends I went with didn't have this problem -- and I KNOW I listen to music way louder than them. I left feeling exactly the same as when I walked in -- just with a random earache. I truly don't understand the people who walked out feeling rejuvenated. Maybe its the NY pessimism in me. What I will say is that the ground are pretty, the acoustics inside are great & you should try it since an alien told van tassel to build it. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! It's an amazing experience. Book it, well worth it!

I booked our spots about one month in advance. Don't wait until the last moment. That being said, we brought an extra person and hoped for a no show. There was! Even though it was 104 degrees outside, the dome seemed to be air conditioned and the perfect temp. OMG.....I loved every moment of this. Yes, they only played the singing bowls for 25 minutes and yes, they said it was an hour long session. It's not but it was just enough time. The only bummer is that you have to get back into your car and drive an hour+ home when you are all zen. I would totally come back. read more

Total tourist trap with horrible staff. Bald heavy set guy at the front desk was extremely rude and I would not recommend this place to anyone. Sound baths elsewhere are much much better. read more

So peaceful and magical. Although the creator was unable to add the extraterrestrially inspired machinery to finish his life work, he did create a beautiful structure completely out of wood than enhances natural acoustics. The result? A relaxing atmosphere perfect for sound baths that penetrate the core of a person. read more

How can I be an Elite Yelper and not even think that a place my family helped build was being reviewed on here....for several years now?! My bad! My family moved here from New York in the mid fifties when I was a baby. They were involved with the energy sessions that George Van Tassel conducted with aliens at Giant Rock, just a short drive from The Dome. Along with many others, my family contributed money to George's mission to get this incredible vision built, and I watched it rise from the desert floor. We camped at Giant Rock when I was growing up, and I spent many hours playing with George's grandchildren and I had so many great experiences there. Many of my folk's friends camped there with us, and we had several UFO sightings over the years at this spot. George was a complicated man with a drive to pass this place onto the rest of humanity. Please take some time on their web site and read about what The Dome was built for. Many owned it over the years after George's death, but the Karl sisters are the most amazing and rightful owners, I love them and give my wholehearted approval with what they have done with The Dome. If it weren't for them, there was a possibility that it was going to become a disco years ago! Yikes! I have brought friends here who have no connection to anything metaphysical or with UFO's. They all came up to me whilst we wandered around and said, what is going on here? I feel something and I don't know what it is, but it feels amazing! Building on magnetic ley lines will do that to you! And The Dome was built with Tesla coils. Google it. Check out all the famous musicians who have recorded here. Robert Plant. Smashing Pumpkins, etc. They love the acoustics of The Dome. It is my family's spiritual home. My parent's ashes are scattered at Giant Rock. Ancient Native Americans considered the Rock a very spiritual and sacred place. It is truly an amazing experience. Hey, even Anthony Bourdain thought so!. Huell Houser, a local TV show host, who just passed away yesterday, loved The Integratron and did a California Gold show on it years ago. He became good friends with the Karl sisters and he will be missed greatly. Visit The Dome with an open mind, you won't be disappointed. read more

I had heard of this place many years ago and recently saw it in a episode of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservation" and something clicked and I wanted to go. Some people will not see the need to visit this place and many more will think of this place as way too wacky and out there especially if your not into metaphysics or Sci-Fi! I've always been fascinated with the metaphysics, the stars, UFO, energy work and the unknown. With having my Reiki II level I'm familiar with energy as well and how it effects everything! In 1954 George Van Tassel based on a close encounter with Aliens was given the technique for rejuvenating living cell tissues which led him to building the Integratron! He described it as "The Integratron is a machine, a high-voltage electrostatic generator that would supply a broad range of frequencies to recharge the cell structure." Scientist from around the world have visited and studied the structure saying it's a Magnetic Room" and the the building is a mass battery. Today the Integraton is opened for the public to visit and experience the magnetic energy that's in this dome. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vkzyT9Kaj3fjbN5gKDTwIQ?select=ryS6sLRw2DImeKgZ3-UM8w This is the interior ceiling http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vkzyT9Kaj3fjbN5gKDTwIQ?select=a1gueBccCZ_v4rLMCGTBXA The Sound Bath is what most come here to experience. 2 weekends a month they have a public sound bath where you pay $10 to experience the 30-minute sonic healing session. Since the Integratron is very magnetic and acoustic everything resonant in high frequency. They play a series of quartz crystal singing bowls http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/vkzyT9Kaj3fjbN5gKDTwIQ?select=NId2lbtH0sxg6rqFCnFvng, each one keyed to the major energy centers of the body. When you first climb up to the second floor there is a hole in the middle. When you step over it and talk to yourself it sounds like your brain is speaking to you. It's very trippy and fascinating. Also you can be on the opposite side of the room and hear the person speaking as if they were right next to you. So they emphasize trying not to snore because the level of noise is amplified by 20+ and people tend to fall asleep soon after they start playing the bowls. Bring some blankets or a yoga mat with you and lay down with your head towards the center of the room and let the healing begin! I loved it! We did have one or 2 people who went into some heavy breathing and snoring so it messed with my wanting tranquility. My next trip I think I will do a private one. There is nothing around the immediate area so once your there you just hang out until its time to go in for the sound bath. They have hammocks out so you can relax in it. Their restrooms are marked Venus and Mars LOL! If you happen to be in the area I recommend you experience this once. This was sonic healing energy rejuvenation spiritual goodness! read more

Coming here was such a fun and relaxing experience. My friend and I spent the morning exploring Joshua Tree NP and then headed here for a midday rejuvenation. The grounds are lovely and so are the folks that run the place. Thanks for the positive experience. I'll be back for sure. read more

Integratron - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Landers, California

I'm not a hippy, nor am I religious, nor do I believe in aliens. I am extremely high strung, cannot "meditate" and every time I have tried to take a yoga class, I bust up laughing if someone farts or sticks their ass up in the air. I just. Can't. I went to the dome thinking at best I would get to hang out in a really cool structure that was built...without nails. When we arrived on the property, there where SO many hippies. I normally run at the sight of dreadlocks and shoeless types. Oddly, none of this bothered me and I even felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and well being. Even though there was no beer. Weird!! I immediately felt as if this was a universal meeting place....and I think the most overwhelming feeling I had, was as we where driving up. "We are HERE!" It was so intense. Even my 9 year old son was like...."MOM...I think we are HERE!!!" I was all...."Yeah dude! We are totally HERE!!!" It was SO CRAZY. Everyone else was there too. Spencer, Nancy, Uncle Miguel, Liz Mcgrath, Morgan Slade, Sadie...even my friend Johannes who lives in Germany! WTF??? So we go to pay admission and the sign says "no one under the age of 12". Can you imagine the disappointment in my little 9 year old child genius's eyes after he had spent the entire week googling this place? Fortunately, Spencer had some juice at the door and got him in! So we climb this thing to get to the top of the thing where they do this thing. They tell you each individually to go stand in the very center of the thing with no nails and the minute you do it, you say...."Whoa, this is so weird", then you hear yourself talk and it sounds like you are screaming into a microphone with the PA pointed at your face. But to everyone standing around you, it sounds normal. I felt floaty and dizzy...it sort of felt like angel dust, except I didn't have blood dripping down my face the next day from walking into a car door. Once we laid down we could ONLY hear the the slight whispers of whomever was diagonally and ALL THE WAY across the room from us. That was Spencer and Nancy and the big fat snoring guy just behind them. I would whisper to Waylon, right next to me, in his ear and he could not hear me. But snoring guy could hear me as if I was shouting in his ear, and we could hear HIM. Waylon and I realized this and CLAMMED. Half way through, I wanted to whisper..."Hey asshole, why did you pay $20.00 to take a fucking nap in a bitchen place with no nails when you can do that for FREE anywhere else?" DICK. So the sound bath part is really awesome. They have about 15 of these bowls that are cast from solid quartz rocks. They use these short batons that have rubber roller skate stoppers on the ends and they just slowly draaaag those on the outside of the bowls and they make this insane noise and vibration...it sounds like the greatest soundtrack from an early 1960's space film. Complete sound porn. The bowls are right there in a circle on the floor with HUGE sign that says "DO NOT TOUCH OR PLAY WITH THE BOWLS". Huge sign. But of course...we witness three different people...picking up the batons..."hey..how does it work? derrr...do we bang on em like uh drum???" Even my kid was like..."Mom...can they not read???" AWKWARD. It's always awkward trying to explain full grown idiots to your extremely intelligent 9 year old child. The woman that played the bowls was amazing, Nancy!!! Thank you Nancy!!! She asked that we all envision a healthy picture of ourselves. Then she asked us all to be thankful for that vision. I tried to picture myself as the perfect mother without a flabby ass and really good skin...and then just fell into the most AMAZING dream state where I was eating the BEST hot dog ever. After it was over, I was thinking...why in the fuck don't they have hot dogs here??? Then we all met up downstairs and Johannes said he had dreams of hamburgers. See? I'm not that crazy after all. Or maybe? Who cares... This place is a MUST see. Friendly wonderful staff, that works in a place that was built with NO NAILS. Glue guns? I dunno. You just gotta see it for yourself and try not to pee your pants. 4 stars because no Integradogs. DAMN. read more

Such an unusual and unique experience that you have to try at least once! I decided to check out the sound temple after hearing about it on Anthony Bourdain and I already had a trip to Joshua Tree on the horizon. If you have ever had your chakras balanced, its a very similar experience. You lay down while an instructor plays the crystal bowls to create sound waves that help guide you into meditation and a calming sense of peace. I love that they provide blankets, yoga mats and pillows and everything seems really clean. People were very respectful and for the most part, very quiet. At $20 a person, I thought the experience was a little pricey, considering you are only there for 30 minutes and they pack people in like sardines. I took off a star because we arrived on time for the 11 am sound bath, but they wanted to wait until they filled the room with people to start. Flash forward to 12:30 and we finally started!! An hour and a half is a long time to just lay somewhere when you werent expecting to wait. I think we were mainly annoyed since we had plans to get to Joshua Tree National Park and this caused a serious delay. There were already 20 people in a small room, so I couldn't understand why we had to wait so long for even more people to join. Nonetheless, its a great experience to try once. Just make sure to bring a book or something to do while you wait, since it is based on how many people arrive. read more

I'm in construction so visiting the building from that perspective alone was interesting. The acoustics were great so another aspect which made it fun. I meditate; the sound of "inviting the bell" is a spiritual one for me and that is one of my favorites sounds. Listening to the bowls being played was a delight. The sound definitely reverberated through me, the vibration quite obvious. I went on a Sunday for the unregistered group sound bath. Had there been a spot available for a solo sound bath I would have booked it but I'm glad there wasn't. I enjoyed it, I'll return again and pay the $20 for the group bath but in no way would it had been worth the $80 for a solo and above $20 would be them becoming to commercial and full of themselves in my opinion. I didn't feel anything magical nor did I find it "magical", life changing, etc...however it was relaxing and enjoyable. I feel badly for the fellow who left such a scathing review. Clearly he was not capable of making a phone call or looking at the website prior to visiting. All the information he needed for hours of operation are right there so please do not let his ignorance impede you visit. read more

Pop up 25$. Good price. This wasn't really my cup of tea, all said. I enjoyed checking the place out, I even enjoyed the cool introductory speech the guy who plays the bowls gave. But I was bored and restless during the actual sound bath. It wasn't too crowded. But lying on the mats on the floors was really uncomfortable. I would've rather been sitting in a chair watching him play the bowls like at a concert. By the time the recorded music started up I was happy to get up and go explore the cool oasis like yard. Your mileage may vary. read more

as a spiritual pilgrim and mystic, I am so thankful that I came across this place. Its hard to put into words what it feels like to have a sound bath inside the Integratron. I felt peace, Ascension, connection with the world, material and spiritual. It is like the closest thing to a good acid trip without the acid. I highly recommend this place. Do make a reservation for a sound bath a week prior to visiting, especially if you can stop by on your trip to Joshua tree. read more

I am a fan of this experience and I would definitely go back. I did feel a deep appreciation for life while experiencing it. It made me realize how disconnected we all are with our environment. I would give the experience 5-stars although I thought a few things can be improved for a better experience. 1) Have a bit more options for people to take souvenirs home. I know merchandising is probably not the first thing on their minds but for someone like me, who visited all the way from Calgary, AB. I think having some sort of memento or souvenir would have been nice to be able to purchase. It would also help build awareness for the Integratron. 2) Snoring lessened the experience for me. The snoring started no more than 2 minutes into the experience and then quite often I would hear someone whisper "stop snoring" which made it worse. The snoring went the whole way through. The lady playing the crystal bowls could not do anything, obviously but I think it would be in their best interest to have a second person overseeing the snoring. A volunteer or employee of the Integratron who would have a free sound bath and be able to walk to anyone snoring and just tap them on the shoulder. I think I would've paid a bit more for that guarantee my experience wouldn't be lessened from snoring. FYI: No video allowed. Cameras and pictures are ok but no video. There weren't any signs indicating it but I was told very quickly to stop recording. I tried to record video during the beginning talk, not through the sound bath. read more

Amazing experience. I don't even want to explain it, just go. Even if you aren't into meditation, you will appreciate the unique opportunity to relax to the sounds and vibrations that put you in touch with the Earth's loving and magnetic energy. We spent the weekend in Joshua Tree experimenting with hallucinogenics and doing some deep soul searching. Our visit to the Integratron brought everything full circle for us. I am forever grateful for that entire weekend and especially to our meditation leader for zenning us out so authentically. Call ahead and make an appointment. This place fills up. $25.00/person cash. read more

I really wish there is something they could do about the snoring people. I don't like paying money only to have the experience ruined completely by not one, not two, but three people. However, the staff at Integratron is awesome and fixed my mood after :) I'll be back, again...and again! read more

An experience not to miss but be aware you may have snoring in your session. You don't have to bring anything but yourself and an open mind.

Found out about this sacred place and couldn't stop thinking about it. We booked our spots early and got there right on time. Almost late. But they still let us pee. How gracious. The whole compound is terrific and as you get there and all your Spidey senses start going off. You can lay in a hammock and enjoy the sun. Meditate on the shade of a tree. When you enter the integratron its very much how you would expect to feel when entering a church. It feels hushed. Quiet, serene. A warm sense of well being is even more welcomed as you climb up stairs and are greeted with other guests and Crystal bowls. An altar and the smell of Paulo Santo or yerba Santo Im not sure. Sagey... As far as the history and the experience itself Id like to keep that a secret for you to discover. If you are going to travel there may I recommend that you stay at the dragon fly retreat on air b n b. Its magical. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! If you're asking yourself if you should *try* this, if it's worth the drive or the money, the answer is yes. If for no other reason than to listen to the beautiful sound of the quartz singing bowls...but perhaps, I mean what if, you actually zone out and get a chance to relax for a even merely a brief moment in time. And...what if you actually have clarity on problems you've recently experienced? And...what if you actually sleep better at night when you get home...oh I don't know. Maybe those reasons aren't good enough ones to experience a moment of completeness and wholeness and awareness of the universe. Just saying.... read more

I thought it would be cool... however, I had no idea it would be THAT cool. If you ever have the opportunity to visit the Integratron, whether for an overnight music experience or a sound bath, TAKE IT. This is a spectacular building in the middle of no where, and it is worth whatever it takes to get there. We got to meet the owners and caretakers of the property, and they are the nicest people. They were aware of our needs and yet unobtrusive at the same time. If you stay over night, pop for the $35 for the fire... it was spectacular in its own way. We are already planning a return trip for the spring.. and will bring more people! read more

This was my 3rd sound bath but my 1st at Integratron- in general sound bath's are awesome but this one took it up a couple notches with 18ft perfect acoustic room, quarts bowls, and inclined mats. Not to mention all of the amazing vibrations, visions, and feelings during the bath. I could literally feel the anxiety in my solar plexus dissipate. While the fact the aliens supplied the plans may disturb some, it is history and I found it incredibly interesting. Do they exist? Who knows but George believed it and now we have the beautiful and one of a kind Integratron thanks to him and the donations of Howard Hughes and many others! I have seen some people complain about snoring and human sounds in their reviews. seriously? You are in the most perfect acoustic room in the world, and you expect to not hear other people? Focus on yourself and your breathing and try your best to block them out. 30 people in one room you are bound to hear another. It's not the facilities fault, it's the inconsiderate people around you. I also have to mention the grounds ... a hammock garden? YES PLEASE. I will now be buying a hammock for my balcony. My ONLY personal gripe is I felt the actual bath should have been longer than 25 minutes. 45-60 minutes is standard in the industry and could have really benefited from another 15+ minutes of bowls before the relaxing music came on. Even still they get 5 stars from me! read more

Unique local / intergalactic flavor. Perfect quirky experience worthy of a stop for any cross country road trip or for or as an "add-in" to a Joshua Tree experience. The key feature is a echoic room where a musician blathers your body in sound for cellular renewal and overall rejuvenation. read more

My experience at The Integratron is something that I cannot adequately express in words. During the sound bath, I had the sensation that the energies which make up my physical and mental structures were realigning in order to achieve greater harmony and cohesion. I entered a deeply meditative state and experienced a change in consciousness. This change in consciousness lasted throughout the whole day, and as I'm writing this reflection the next day, I still feel altered in ways that I can't describe very easily. Since the sound bath, I have been more aware of vibrating sensations within my body--sometimes it almost feels like my body is dissolving. I suppose the sub-atomic particles that make up my body are constantly fluctuating whether I realize it or not, so any concept of a static sense of self can now more clearly be seen as an illusion through my direct experience. I plan on learning more about the science behind these interesting phenomena as well as spending more time at The Integratron. I am left with feelings of gratitude and wonder. An aphorism that has been on my mind since yesterday is: "Purge negativity and pursue positivity in order to achieve harmony." I know that this is a very general spiritual truth that has been expressed in numerous ways by countless humans across time and space, but it has now become more real to me after this experience. read more

The Integratron is pretty rad. It's hard to describe the experience; you just have to go get a sound bath and see for yourself! I went in as a mild skeptic; I'm down with the metaphysical, but I don't put all my eggs in that basket, if you get my drift. Whether you're looking for a life-affirming experience, a solid meditation, or just some deep relaxation, you'll enjoy this. I definitely experienced some profound clarity during the sound bath. As a bonus, my insomniac tendencies disappeared, and I've been sleeping like the dead ever since (about a week ago). Tips: Arrive early so you can lounge in the hammocks and enjoy the grounds. Bring cash to get yourself a sweet T-shirt or hat, and DEFINITELY make an appointment. They do not take walk-ins, and it would be a shame to drive all that way to be turned away. read more

Really kind, family-run business who let us come on sat instead of fri because we unexpectedly ran into the worst traffic from LA and would've missed the fri sound bath by an hour. THANK YOU THANK YOU! We really appreciated them being so accommodating since we were excited to experience the sound bath and would've been so bummed to miss it. And it exceeded our expectations and more- the sound quality is fantastic even if you're outside (and it was super windy). Would love to try the upgraded experience next time and be inside (but being outside has it own benefits!) read more

I've been here 3 times so far! I also had 3 totally different experiences. I've always been a skeptic for this kind of stuff so I had to tell myself to keep an open mind when experience something that I don't understand...I still don't fully understand what's going on haha...just keep an open mind, relaxed body, and just let the sound bath take you (probably as hippie as i'll sound this whole review) My first visit was the best visit. We sat at the opposite side of the quartz bowls, which will give you the fullest effect of the sound bath because the sound waves move perfectly from one end of the building to the other due to the perfect acoustical construction. Our "sound bath spirit guide" was this woman, I can't remember her name, but she did a great job the first time I experienced it and the second time around. I stayed awake the whole way through (i think...my eyes were closed but I felt like I was going through a trip) and I was able to see different colors flash through my eyes lids throughout the whole sound bath. I think it was from the resonating frequencies and some of the dissonant tones being played from the quartz bowls "massaging" your chakras. After the whole adventure I felt totally balanced/relaxed from what I think was a "perfect nap" and my skin (mainly my hands) felt really tingly. The second time we went in a large group of 11 and had the same lady playing the bowls. I enjoyed it more because we were there with people we knew and were excited to see how they would translate this journey with us and they all had fun with some funny stories from the whole experience. The third time, which was just this past weekend, was done by someone else. I felt like he went too deep into the psychology of the Integratron to the point it was overbearing with information that muddled the understanding of the place. I even fell asleep while he was talking about the building, it wasn't as relaxing as my other two trips but I left feeling balanced. I was probably fighting off the food coma from Pappy & Harriet's hehe...I brought my hypercritical sister and she was just staring at the dust particles in the air. I also brought my mom and my aunt who likes meditation/relaxation and just chilling out so they had a blast. So my take away from this is to sit opposite of the bowls and try your best to open up your mind and body to this whole experience. Completely letting go helps you enjoy this a lot more. Wow I sound so hippie here. read more

Worth every penny. Very relaxing and unique. Great gift shop and lovely grounds. We arrived early to get on the wait list. So happy when someone didn't show up for their appointment. read more

Cut your hair hippies! This place has a big name, with big promises. The Integratron. Dun Dun Dun... I had no idea what to expect. Upon arriving we were directed to re-park our car because he wanted to pack the parking lot as full as he could get it. Ummm. I looked around there were 7 other cars, how crowded does this place get? Doesn't he know we are in the middle of the desert? Um okay. Already a little strange, but whatever onward and forward, right? Right. The lot around the dome has lots of Burning Man-esque art for example: re-purposed license plates to create bathroom signage, a covered wagon pulled by rocking horses, and tons of metal art on the walls. There's a hammock area. It's cool. I like it immediately. We wander over to the check-in dome and are greeted by a genuine lady. She's nice and not for pretend. She directs us to the Integratron. Dun Dun Dun. There's tons of hippie literature about sound-healing downstairs. There's information about the founder and how he used to think he could commune with aliens there. It amuses me and fascinates me at the same time. I am so glad places like this exist. We go upstairs and lay on our mats. It's just a little hotter than I'd like it to be, and a tiny bit smellier (everyone is barefoot and it smells like it), but I find my happy place and just relax. The crystal bowl player tells us about the energy fields and about how the dome produces perfect sound, it's entertaining, but I don't fully buy into it. Mainly he makes me deeply paranoid about falling asleep and snoring (it's highly frowned upon.) Thirty minutes later, somehow I manage to not fall asleep and ruin everyone's sound bath by snoring, after the sound bath, somehow I actually do feel very relaxed and balanced. Hum, maybe there is something to this new age hippie stuff? Even if you are a skeptic (like me) you should go, I guarantee a fun/strange/new experience. Your chakaras will thank you! read more

Unfortunately this was mostly a waste. The bowls were loud in the beginning but then they were ok but when people start snoring the whole experience gets wasted. You can't expect someone to wake up a stranger who is snoring. It was pretty disappointing! read more

Decent, and pretty much the only thing to do in Joshua Tree when it's hot out. For $20, you get to lie on the floor with a pile of other people while they play a variety of sounds bowls. It feels like the end of Yoga class. However, it only lasts for about 20 minutes. Would be cool if they went longer. read more

The Integratron and it's creator, George Van Tassel, have a fascinating history. Make sure to read up on it so you can appreciate the uniqueness of the site and the architecture. Check the website for current hours and rates, or call to arrange a private sound bath. I've had sound baths done by each of the sisters and loved them both. The sound bath will either be a life-changing experience, or possibly the best nap you've ever had. Either way, it's an experience you won't get anywhere else, and a highlight of any trip to the desert. read more

Had a wonderful experience. I got there early and I relaxed in one of the hammocks. They create a very peaceful and relaxing environment around the dome. The experience itself was amazing. Once seated inside the dome (air conditioned) was 10-15 min of the history being explained to the group. Then 35-40 minutes of relaxing sound bowl music. I can't remember the woman's name that played the bowls, but she was beautiful and made the experience for everyone magical. After my bath I napped in a hammock with a steady breeze and trees giving me shade. I 100% recommend anyone to check it out. The drive is worth it! read more

Eh... ok so may not my sort of thing.. but I can't hate on it... yes the sounds were relaxing and the dome really has some great acoustics... idk about the backstory of this place... something about aliens and time travel? hehe... Came out with a group of friends on our way to JTree... it was interesting... relaxing... worth $10?well maybe not for me... but healing sounds can't hurt right? (and if it does hurt your ears, i'd suggest leaving haha) and man did i need something to relax me, so why not! . Did it really rejuvenate me and what not?... meh... I actually fell asleep w/i 5-10mins of it all... I think sitting on the rocks at JTree and staring out into the empty dessert with the breeze blowing around me was just as refreshing if not more so... but to each their own. read more

We've been going to the Integratron for many years & LOVE IT! It's totally worth the trip from San Diego drive wise.

Wow! This place is incredible. I came to Palm Springs with my girlfriend for her birthday. I was feeling kind of down and sadly got a speeding ticket on my way to Palm Springs. (Don't take the alternate route from SF. Just go through LA instead). We went to the Integratron on a recommendation of a friend and had such a wonderful time. The sound bath was incredibly calming and beautiful. Joanne was so friendly. I walked away feeling soothed and happy. I will absolutely come back here! read more

did a pop-up sound bath here last sunday. it cost $25 but was sooo worth it! the man who checked us in and the woman who did the actual sound bath were both SO FRIENDLY. the actual room was super packed, but the woman explained they felt really bad turning people away who had traveled hella to check it out. show up a bit early and you won't have trouble carving out a spot for yourself. the woman promised me going in that my hangover would be cured after my sound bath. she was hilarious and i figured she was kidding, but SHIT DID I FEEL GOOD AFTER. makes sense that lying in blankets for an hour with relaxing white noise can make you feel better. after the sound bath portion, they put on music and you can stay in the room after and just chill out, meditate, sleep, etc. we got up almost immediately and left cuz i'm ADD and really wanted to lie in the hammocks outside. lots of great places to sit and enjoy the breeze. we met several people hanging out and everyone was so nice and chill. PERFECT for a hangover. read more

Integratron - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Landers, California

This place is sacred and worth the epic journey down Old Woman Road, past the 62 and the 247, into the womb of the nebulous resurrection of the personal spirit entwined with the ghosts of the dawn of time. The wooden fortress of pure cosmic energy contains vibrational sound baths that align the chakras and infuse the practitioner with an overall aura of brilliance. Definitely a must visit at least once in a lifetime, if not multiple times over multiple lifetimes. The notes correspond to the innards, the sounds resonate like glass being pinched. The feel is like entering a crystal palace, while the breath of those around you encapsulates your mind.
