CREATING SACRED SPACE with Areeya & Friends @ The Goddess Temple in Indian Springs 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Join us in co-creating the sacred shrine space for the evening’s fire. Together, we will be transforming the pavilion into a sacred space of memory and messages. Bring whatever altar décor you would like to share (make sure your name is on your stuff and remember to get it before you leave!). Bring on those skulls and bones, those photos of your beloved dead; use your imagination and join us! (Same location as BONEDANCE below. No pre-registration. Free)
BONEDANCE – 10 p.m. until sunrise @ The Goddess Temple in Indian Springs, NV
A Vegas Vortex sponsored event.
We are requesting a $20 minimum donation.
Short & Sweet Orientation begins at 10:00 pm, then rekindle the spark and honor the ancestors with drumming, chanting, dancing, magic and fire in the desert!
BONEDANCE is a Samhain celebration, an Alchemical Fire Circle Ritual, of drumming, dance, voice and sound. We honor the ancestors, the turning of the wheel, the balance of shadow and light, journeying through the darkness, into the beauty of the morning, fueled by magic and led by Mystery…. Desert Moon Circle will present the Opening for our Circle, and this magic is not to be missed!
Bring your offerings of chants, spoken word or song, your drums, rattles and percussion instruments, photos of your beloved dead for the Altar, plenty of water to drink and some big bottles for the water altar to share, finger foods that don’t need to be refrigerated to share on the food altar, chairs, blankets, a flashlight and warm clothing…
Many of us like to arrive before sunset so we have time to enjoy the labyrinth, hangout with friends, and setup our nests for the evening. If you are coming early, check in with Steve to see if he needs any help with setup – please and thank you!
Please DO NOT BRING: pets, firearms, alcohol or drugs onto this sacred land. The Goddess Temple is about an hour North of Las Vegas. Directions will be provided in the registration confirmation email.
BONEDANCE this year is a fundraiser for The Goddess Temple. Sliding scale $20-$500. Register here. All are welcome to join us, this event is open to the public. No one turned away for lack of funds – contact Abigail McBride.
