ALL INCLUSIVE PRIVATE SAMHAIN RETREAT (AT WENDY’S HOME IN LAS VEGAS, NEW MEXICO!)

THURSDAY OCTOBER 26th to SUNDAY 29th

3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS OF MAGIC AND RITUAL!

Only 6 places still available!

Celebrate the ancient Pagan festival of Samhain (Halloween) with 3 days and 3 nights of Magic and ritual on this intimate, all-inclusive and fully catered residential retreat in our beautiful Victorian home near the small historic town of Las Vegas, New Mexico (the original Las Vegas!). As a small group of 13 (8 participants and 5 facilitators, including me) we will honour our Ancestors, gathering together for rituals, workshops, meditations, craft, music, and meals. We’ll have plenty of time to reflect, journal, enjoy each other’s company, immerse ourselves in New Mexico’s stunning Nature and experience the epic New Mexico night sky. Explore our 4 1/2 acres of High Desert Juniper woodland, complete with ritual circles, winding pathways, and secret fairy groves. I’ll also perform a special private concert for participants!

VENUE

We (Wendy and Tim) welcome you to celebrate Samhain in our iconic Victorian home, situated just 10 minutes from the historic town of Las Vegas New Mexico, and only an hour from Santa Fe. Our home is set high on a hill above the surrounding farms, with gorgeous views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the West and the start of the Great Plains to the East. We are only minutes from the National Wildlife Refuge – a renowned gathering place for migrating birds. The beautiful Gallinas Hiking Trail is just a few minutes drive away, and the Montezuma Hot Springs less than 20 minutes away.

Delicious, healthy, home cooked vegan meals are and drinks (including wine) are included. We can accommodate gluten free if needed. Let me know if you have any allergies and we’ll work around them.

PROGRAM: 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS OF WORKSHOPS AND RITUAL

We’ll begin on Thursday with a ‘meet and greet’ followed by dinner and our sunset Opening Ritual. We’ll rise early on Friday morning to welcome the Sun (optional), and after breakfast begin a full day of classes and rituals, exploring mythology and Magic related to this sacred time of year. After dinner, I’ll perform a private Samhain themed concert! On Saturday, (after our optional Sunrise ritual), we’ll continue our workshops (with a focus on divination, and crafting a sacred ‘Witches Ladder) , which will culminate in our Main Ritual (honouring the Thinning of the Veils and our Beloved Dead), followed by a magnificent Harvest Feast. After Sunrise and breakfast on Sunday, we’ll perform our Closing Ritual, and after everyone is packed and ready ready to leave, we’ll celebrate together with a final lunch.

HOW TO GET HERE

FLY: If you fly into Santa Fe, we can collect you from the airport on Thursday October 26th and drop you back on Sunday afternoon / evening. Car hire is also available from Santa Fe airport if you would prefer to travel independently. If you choose to fly into Albuquerque (where there are more flights per day) we suggest that you hire a car from the airport. It’s about a 2 hour drive to our place and we are therefore unable to offer transfers from Albuquerque Airport.

TRAIN: Las Vegas Amtrak station is only 10 minutes away. A train arrives each afternoon from Chicago (via Kansas) and from Los Angeles (Via Arizona, and Albuquerque). We can collect you from the station. There is a shuttle from Albuquerque airport to the Albuquerque Amtrak station.

DRIVE: Our home is just a few minutes off the I -25, and very easy to find. There’s plenty of parking

TRANSFERS: from Santa Fe airport or Las Vegas Amtrak station if needed.
