What is the name of the huts/tents that they set up in deserted areas to practice rituals?

hmm... yes, what the first answerer says, what culture?
There's sweat lodges for Native Americans, kurts for Siberians, etc. But then, there's oak groves for Druids... they don't use "coverings".
So, not all shamans use these huts/tents. Some simply use a blanket on the ground. Some use nothing at all but the ether around them.
And, shamanism is not synonymous with mysticism, but it *can* be.

I believe you're referring to the Sweat Lodge used in some Native American traditions. Each tribe has their own set of rituals and ceremonies. And not all Shamans are Native American. The word "shaman" itself is from Siberia (if memory serves me correctly) but now is used commonly to refer to the healer/spiritual advisor of many indigenous or tribal cultures.

What culture? Evry culture has its own language.
