Her name is Vesta.

She is a multi-dimensional gathering place for those who are also more than one thing.

She is a home, an artist retreat, a social club, an event space and magnet for the avant guardians. Come alone, meet a cosmic sister. Come with someone, exponentially expand your network.

Vesta is a connector, a vessel for inspiration and rest. She is designed to hold the future and the past, showing us what is possible when we feel safe immersed in beauty and comfort.

Goddess of hearth & home

Vesta is the goddess of the hearth and home in the ancient Roman pantheon. Her role as a tender, protector and sovereign was represented by the ever-burning fire hearth, which was her duty to sustain. Her social role was understood to be integral to maintaining the health of her community, and as such, tributes were paid to Vesta in Roman villages, and she was assured a prominent place in both family and state worship.

Cult Temples to Vesta were sacred spaces for the community to visit and not only pay homage, but to constellate around what was sacred to the community and take actions to protect it as well.

The space

Formerly the Stallcup-Thrash House, renowned for its legendary avant garde NYE parties, this space is one of the grandest homes in the Quapaw-Prospect Historic District. Built in 1912, it is celebrated for its elaborate architecture both on the national registry and local historic tour.

ExpERIENCE THE MAGIC OF Hot Springs, ARkansas

Hot Springs Arkansas is one of the most profound hidden gems in the United States. Pull huge quartz out of the mountains, return to essence in the waters of the hot springs, swim in lakes made of crystal bedrock. With its up-and-coming community, intact nature and its ripe potential for new systems, it is poised to become a “City of the Future.”

Natural Hot Springs & Healing Waters

Nestled next to Hot Springs National Park, built on a network of thermal springs, underground crystal veins and protected by surrounding lakes, Hot Springs was known as a kind of “fountain of youth” for its medicinal waters and deemed “America’s First Resort.”

From 1880-1960 Hot Springs was the “original wellness” culture with its bathhouses tapped directly into thermal hot springs and general culture of delight. The original Indigenous tribes of the area shared use and care of the space, which was seen as a place of peace and healing. Folks today still frequent Hot Springs to connect back to the healing power of nature.

Quartz Crystal Deposits

Fisher Mountain, home to Avant Mining, is dedicated to protecting and preserving the natural wealth buried in caves and aquifers under the Arkansas soil. These large, natural quartz deposits charge the energy of the land itself, which you can experience first-hand on a walk through the crystals.

Natural Parks & Preserved Green Spaces

Hot Springs is home to a national park, as well as Garvan Gardens, a local gem sprawled across 210 acres of botanical and woodland land located on a peninsula of Lake Hamilton. Enjoy the biodiversity of the region any time of year.
