Bone Dance will happen October 22, 2022!

Fall Fest Week will resume in 2023!

The Vegas Vortex is grateful to be returning to the Temple of Goddess Spirituality Dedicated to Sekhmet in Cactus Springs, Nevada. We are so happy to see new language that speaks to welcoming and including all. This sentence on their home page is especially heartwarming:

“Celebrating the lunar and solar holidays of the Wheel of the Year, and honoring Sacred Mother as source of all Creation, all who come seeking peace are welcome to visit the grounds and participate in the rituals, regardless.”

Their languaging now includes the word “proclusive,” coined by Miki Kashtan, co-founder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC). Proclusive means: radical inclusion based on shared values and speaks to the idea that ALL are welcome.

Given the shift in the sense of exclusion towards inclusion and welcoming, the Vegas Vortex is happy to return.

We look forward to seeing you there!

All blessings,

Abigail

CREATING SACRED SPACE with Areeya & Friends @ The Goddess Temple in Indian Springs 4pm – 6pm

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 – 9pm until sunrise @ The Goddess Temple in Indian Springs, NV

A Vegas Vortex sponsored event.

REGISTER here.

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…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 $15-100. Registration is now open. All are welcome to join us, this event is open to the public. No one turned away for lack of funds.
