Since you mentioned Vortex, here's a Vegas Vortex (not 'The Vortex'!) fire ritual that may interest those of you who will be in or near Vegas:

The Alchemy Conference is coming up in Vegas.
Hosted at the Palace Station Casino on Sahara, we'll be offering a special, one night only, "indoor burn" on October 6th from 10pm to 2:30am. Due to popular demand, this one night circle is now open to the community and not just conference pass holders.

Grab your shakers, put bells on your feet and tassels on your hips, and come play with us!

Here's the web description-- it's a little dry, but use your imagination!

From Burning Man to the Vegas Vortex, people are seeking experiential transformation by returning to nature for enlightenment. Magician Jeff McBride and performance artist Abbi Spinner McBride will be our guides for a very special late night excursion into the mysteries of Fire. The Fire element is the agent of transformation in alchemy, and alchemists themselves were known as "Philosophers of Fire." By connecting with the Fire element though its correspondences (movement, dancing, drumming, chanting, and other active meditations), practitioners seek to burn through existing structures of mind and body and release the alchemist's Secret Fire of transformation. You are invited to experiment with this emerging paradigm by attending the indoor fire circle beginning at 10:00 PM Saturday night in Hall A. For complete information, go to Fire Circle Alchemy (www.alchemyconference.com/fire_....htm).


Free admission to all registered attendees; nominal $5 fee for others.

Saturday 10:00 PM - 2:30 AM.

Full conference details are at www.alchemyconference.com.


I'll be there!
