Egyptian costume ball on Friday night and all white ancestor honoring on Saturday night at Isis Oasis Sanctuary: October 30 – November 1

This weekend, at Isis Oasis Sanctuary, in Geyserville, CA, they will be celebrating Halloween and Samhain at the 2nd Annual Isis Un-Veiled Gathering with an Egyptian costume ball on Friday night, and all-white Ancestor Honoring on Saturday night.

Samhain is a festival held at the end of the harvest season in Gaelic and Brythonic cultures. Principally a harvest festival, it also has aspects of a festival of the dead. It had its roots in ancient Celtic polytheism, and continued to be celebrated through medieval times, and is seen as contributing to the modern celebration of Halloween. Many scholars believe that it was the beginning of the Celtic year.

The 2nd Annual Isis Un-Veiled Gathering is held at the Isis Oasis Sanctuary in Geyserville, CA from 10/30 - 11/01. The retreat center is about 1.5 hours north of San Francisco, right off the 101 in Sonoma County. http://www.isisoasis.org.

The Isis Oasis is located on a unique piece of land with a 500 year old fir tree on the property; temple space; 100 year old redwood church; dining area; hot tub; pool; sauna; showers; and exotic animals such as peacocks, ocelots, and rare birds.

Fuzzy Philippe and Jocelyn of Club Exotica will be creating a cuddle lounge upstairs in the lodge for the weekend, with Saturday Pool Side Celebration (weather permitting.)
