Events & Sponsorship

A note about Event Sponsorship-

We appreciate your support of our events. At Soul Circle, our goal is to provide smaller opportunities for like-minded individuals to network and create connections to each other that last beyond the time we spend at a location. Keeping our event attendance intentionally limited in numbers is a choice, and maintaining reasonable ticket prices is a priority for us too. As a result, we often come out of pocket to pay the balance between the costs of providing the experience and the amount generated from ticket sales. As a sponsor, you are helping to bridge the gap and partnering with us to create these life changing adventures for those who attend.

Washoe Con 2026 is April 10th-12th, 2026

Details

Welcome to Washoe Con!

As you will see in the tentative schedule, there is lots to do at this event. You can find more details in the Event Information Section below.

Please also note that all of the presentations, activities, and investigations of this event are only open to ticket holders. This ensures that the folks who paid to attend are able to network with each other and with our special guests.

This event will happen come rain, snow, fog, hail, or otherwise less than ideal weather conditions… but let’s all put sunny sun vibes into the universe!

Please reach out to Tara with any questions that you have.

Tickets will be NON-REFUNDABLE so please make sure you are ready to purchase before you do so.

TENTATIVE Schedule

Event Schedule will be posted in mid-February 2026!

Thursday April 9th, 2026

We always do our best to offer one night in which there are no scheduled investigations for Full Event Ticket Holders so that everyone can check out the various saloons in town. For this event, Thursday night is that night. We will offer a Thursday night registration and mix and mingle Thursday this year. Once you have checked in, the remainder of the night will be spent getting to know each other and mingling at The Washoe Club or adventuring on your own 😊. You are free to stay as long as you’d like to take part in the activities and informal investigations of the upper floors of the Washoe, but if you prefer a night of rest to a night of mayhem… this is your night to turn in early.

Friday April 10th, 2026

There will be a second registration option time on Friday afternoon for those who can't make it to town Thursday night. You will also have time to purchase merchandise from our special guests, who will have 8x10’s; tshirts; posters; books; and other items for you to buy. There will be tables for some other vendors as well as our sponsors who we hope you will support! Friday will be a great day for networking and making any purchases you want from the talented folks who will be there.

Saturday April 11th, 2026

On Saturday, we will focus on opening our minds and enjoying some time with our speakers.

Investigations

We will be investigating two or three locations each night, and two or three teams will rotate between them. You can expect to be in a group of about 10-15 people, and you will rotate between the locations after spending time in each one. You will have a window of time in the schedule to pass between locations. If you have equipment, you are welcome to bring it but there isn’t a lot of time to set up and take down more complex equipment set-ups. This event lends itself better to simple equipment that you can easily pack up and transition to the next location with. There will be talented investigators at each location to help facilitate experiments and sessions. You will have an opportunity to investigate with each of the special guests at the event.

You can opt out of any location if you are tired or need a break. The Washoe Club is a great spot to rest and recover! Just make sure to monitor your ability to rejoin your group if you choose to drink while taking a break from the investigation rotations. For some folks, midnight to 2am is way past bedtime and we often see group sizes dwindle towards the end of the rotations… and that’s alright!

This event, and all other Soul Circle Paranormal events, is a chance to network with other likeminded people and to form connections to each other that last well beyond the time we will spend in Virginia City. That is, after all, what these events are about for us. You will always find that we keep the groups smaller than traditional events, because this is not about making money. It’s about making memories, and we can’t wait to make some with you. Please keep in mind that though we strive to keep our investigation group sizes smaller than you might find at other events… some of our locations are also much less sprawling due to the historic nature of the buildings in Virginia City. 10-15 people in a single room can still feel like a lot when you’re investigating! For that reason, we recommend seeing this (and any other event investigation) as an opportunity to engage with the special guests and investigate with them, check out their techniques and that of the others in your group, and share insight about equipment and methods… but not to expect the same conditions you might have on a private investigation where you can control the variables in the room more efficiently. We still get evidence and personal experiences in event investigations, but we also want to help manage expectations!

Also… THERE ARE STAIRS! Virginia City is perched on the side of the mountain, and the buildings have steep stairs and no elevators. Everything in town is walkable if you don’t mind the inclines, but many choose to drive and take part in the great search for ideal parking. Our investigation locations all have steps, and you will need to be able to navigate them to access the investigations. Don’t worry, nobody will hear you gasping for breath because my huffing and puffing will drown yours out. (Side note… if Shane Pittman asks you to carry him up a hill you are not obligated to say yes.)

Location and Celebrity Guests

All locations and celebrity guests are subject to change. We do our best to minimize this risk, but it can occur that a celebrity guest has to cancel their participation in the event due to scheduling conflicts related to filming (for example). If a celebrity guest has to withdraw from the event, we will post an announcement immediately. You will have an opportunity to investigate all the event locations, and to spend time with the special guests in either investigations or other activities.

Tickets and Registration

You will receive your event access pass at registration. Nothing will come in the mail, but you will receive an email confirming your purchase.
