Sakkara/Museum

This day begins with a morning visit to the temple of Sakkara for the first rite of passage. This is a large and very unique temple complex. We will work in a private empowerment with the energies of the pyramid texts (the most ancient body of literature known) and imagery to awaken the understanding of the synchronicities and symbols in your life.
Afternoon visit of the Cairo Museum . Our word-renowned Egyptologist Emil Shaker, guides us through this famous museum with a collection of over 200,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts, dating back to 4,000 BC. Visiting the museum is an opportunity to see the statues and artifacts that originally were located in the temples, this paints a fuller picture when you go the temples, like seeing the original furniture designed for a house. There you will experience first-hand the different periods of ancient Egypt and the individual artistic and architectural styles of each period. One of the highlights of this museum is the visit to the treasures of Tut-Ank-Amon. There will be time to explore the museum on your own.

Elephantine Island/Temple of Khnum

We will gather to integrate our journey thus far and to prepare for our next temple visit and explore what did Charles Fillmore (the founder of Unity) said about reincarnation, soul groups and ancient Egypt. In the afternoon we sail to the South end of Elephantine Island by way of Felucca, which is a smallish sail boat operated by Nubians, the original people of Upper Egypt. The felucca ride is enchanted with celebrations of drumming and spontaneous dancing with the Nubians. A beautiful botanical garden, filled with fragrant flowers and lush greenery, marks the entrance to the temple complex of Elephantine Island. This land is dedicated to the rams headed creator God Khnum and there is a chapel dedicated to him and his consort Satet. This temple is still partially intact and is built upon layers and layers of temples below it. At Elephantine Island archeologists have found twenty-three layers of buildings, including remnants of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and ancient Egyptian houses of worship. Each temple of the past is dismantled and another built upon it. In an empowerment meditation at the Temple of Khnum we will explore the evolution of our soul and connect to the energy of this fertile land to gain strength from our past and explore the connection between Christianity and ancient Egypt. B

Philae/Temple of Isis

We sail before sunrise to the island of Isis’s temple, Philae, for an exclusive visit. Philae is one of the most beautiful sites in Egypt. It is surrounded by water and filled with enchantment and the energy of love, which is so palpable it feels as if you are floating in liquid love. Isis is the Goddess of divine love, magic, healing and forgiveness. At the Holy of Holies entrain to pure love consciousness with a heart opening initiation. Hear the story of Isis and Osiris and learn a powerful tool to create a heart-to-heart connection in your relationships. Check into our luxury cruise ship Sonesta Moon Goddess. BLD

Preparation circle on deck as we set sail for Kom Ombo. This temple is dedicated to two Gods, Sobek and Horus. Sobek the crocodile God sprung into creation from the primordial waters of darkness. Horus the Hawk God represents the higher perspective and the golden light. The duality of light/ dark, yin/yang, conscious/unconscious is apparent in this ancient site. One of the most powerful places in Kom Ombo is the Seat of Neutrality, which is placed on the exact centerline between the parts of the temple that are dedicated to Horus or Sobek and Light or Dark. Just sitting on this stone seat you enter into a state of neutrality and complete stillness and any thoughts you may have had simply vanish. During the meditation we will further activate the gift of neutrality to transcend the energies of polarity and gain greater acceptance and peace.  

In the afternoon we will continue our sail down the Nile to Edfu - settle back, relax and enjoy the unique beauty of the scenery.

Early in the morning we leave our boat for a private visit of the temple of Edfu. Edfu is one of the most intact temples in Egypt and is dedicated to the Hawk headed God Horus. While you are approaching the beautifully illuminated temple complex, you become aware of its enormous dimensions with a vast courtyard, a forest of towering columns and high ceilings. The entrance way is framed by two huge falcons with a statue of the pharaoh leaned against them.  Horus is associated with higher vision and clarity. The eye of Horus greatly relates to his myth and power. The left eye represents the lunar, the moon the intuitive, the feminine energy. The right eye is connected to the solar, the masculine, the action, and the yang energy. Both are necessary for true power to exist. In a private empowerment we will work with balancing the lunar and the solar energies inside of us and awaken our intuitive centers to be able to experience a higher perspective. Afternoon circle on deck. Continue sailing to Luxor. BLD

We will disembark from the Moon Goddess and check into the lovely St. George hotel .

The West Bank holds the tombs of the pharaohs and queens, and some of the most spectacular funerary temples including Der el Bahari the funerary temple of the female pharaoh Hatchepsut. We will explore multiple sites on the West Bank and undergo a process core to the funerary rites of the ancient Egyptians, The weighing of the heart ceremony. This is chance to lighten up and align with divine and cosmic balance. B

Free wake up call. We visit the magnificent Karnak Temple when the sun reaches its zenith. This is the biggest temple complex in Egypt - and a very special place. It is dedicated to the Gods Amun and Mut. As you enter you walk between rows of rams headed sphinxes, which originally connected Karnak with Luxor Temple two miles away. Take some time to visit the sacred lake of Karnak, ask to connect to your signature energy and purpose and place this intention in your mind's eye into the lake.
Outside the main halls, is a small chapel dedicated to Sekhmet, her consort Ptah and their son Nefertum. Sekhmet is the lioness Goddess of compassion and courage. She is associated with feminine fire and healing through divine dissolution. She is a renowned healer and known for her magic and ability to hunt down an imbalance at its origin. In a potent private initiation we will honor the Goddess and receive the gift of courage to be our authentic selves.   Read Danielle's article on Sekhmet - Unbridled Authenticity.

Luxor lies on the site of Thebes, the capital of Egypt at its height. We will have a night visit to the Temple of Luxor and work with the brilliance of the human body. Here we are able to see that this temple is built like a human body. The outside layers represent the feet and as we move deeper into the temple we move towards the head, where the holy of holies, the inner sanctuary is located. This is a wonderful place to focus on physical healing, as you walk through the body of this temple notice how your body feels and re-member radiant health. Luxor Temple is also associated with stellar consciousness, the aspect of us that is a star. Awaken the parts of you that are sleeping, activate divinity codes and turn on your inner light. BLD

Morning visit by bus through the timeless countryside to Dendera where you will visit the exquisite temple dedicated to Hathor to experience her mysteries of love, laughter and joy. Dis-integrate fear and activate your instinctual bliss centers so you can enjoy your life to the fullest.
Then visit the temple Abydos, temple of Osiris, to delve deeply into the art of remembering. Our path through Egypt is one that aligns deeply with the myth of Isis and Osiris. Osiris was killed by his brother Seth and his body was dis-membered into 14 different parts and scattered throughout Egypt. Isis built a temple at each place she found a part of Osiris body. As we journey through Egypt we are collecting the fragmented and dis-membered parts of ourselves. In a private initiation work with your spinal column and the backbone of Osiris the Djed to activate your inner remembering and to become your largest self. See the ‘Flower of Life’and the preserved colors on the temple walls.
