Join author Sean Wilde and the New Orleans Temple for a weekend of connection, teaching and training in all things living vampire.
About this EventNocturne: The Living Vampire Gathering in New Orleans
Friday October 30th - Sunday November 1st
Step into the night and enter a gathering unlike any other.
Inspired by the ideas, traditions, and spiritual current explored in Sean Wilde's newest book, Living Vampires, Nocturne invites guests into an immersive New Orleans experience centered on vampirism as lived practice, mystery tradition, identity, energy work, and community. This is not a costume party and not a fantasy convention. It is a gathering for those who are called to the deeper conversation.
Hosted by Sean Wilde, Sassy Magick Boutique and the New Orleans Temple, Nocturne brings together seekers, practitioners, the vampire community, and the curious for an unforgettable evening, or series of evening, in one of the most haunted and enchanted cities in the world. In the shadowed beauty of New Orleans, we gather to explore what it means to live consciously, feed ethically, honor the unseen, and walk a path that is as spiritual as it is personal.
Expect an atmosphere of dark elegance, meaningful conversation, living tradition, and genuine connection.
Join us for a night of community, magic, and awakening in the city that understands mystery better than anywhere else.
