Meet Reed Finlay, the architect behind the 15,000 sq foot Temple at KAVANÂ, our retreat center and learning institute which offers experiential training, immersive transformational processes, and collaborative research where we integrate diverse disciplines from Indigenous wisdom to cutting-edge science. The Temple is a space where ancient wisdom meets modern sensibility, designed to nurture personal growth and foster connection. As a gathering place, the Temple invites people from all walks of life to celebrate the fundamental threads that unite us. Here, exploration, deep work, and creative inspiration come together in a timeless yet contemporary setting, creating a sacred environment for profound transformation.

Reed walks us through his journey from head to heart, exploring spaces focused on healing and growth, how feminine leadership holds the key to a more harmonious future, and the story behind the project with Ella Madej, that changed his whole outlook on effective leadership: the Burning Man Temple. We believe stewardship starts at the innermost core, creating ripples that transform the people and the world around us. At KAVAN we believe sacred spaces are an integral part of that journey.
