Our goal at DESERTRADE is to create healthier humans through visual, performative, culinary and healing arts with a focus on community. Workshops, lectures, gatherings, concerts, performances, dinners and spiritual and healing events are offered for both locals and hi-desert visitors.
DESERTRADE, founded in 2023 by Emmy award winning choreographer Ryan Heffington, sits on a 12-acre property just north of Joshua Tree National Park in 29 Palms, California. We’re a 501(c)3 (non-profit) organization that is hosted and supported by AHA projects.

A creative watering hole for artists and trailblazers located in the Hi Desert. A nest. A think tank. A time capsule. A container for healing. A design hub. ———A North Star.
