WHY EGYPT?​​

Day 1

· Arrival · Aswan ·​

The moment you arrive, Egypt begins to soften something within you

​

You land. You are met. You are welcomed. Tonight we gather for our opening dinner and ceremony on the banks of the Nile. The journey begins.

​

Day 2

· Philae Temple ·​

The sacred feminine welcomes us to Egypt.

​

Felucca Ride We enter the Temple of Isis at Philae – our first sacred initiation. The afternoon is spent drifting along the Nile by felucca, past lush islands and into the golden light of an Egyptian sunset.

​​

Day 3

· Abu Simbel ·​

For many women, this is the day the journey becomes real.

​

We rise before dawn and drive through the desert to one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring sites. The temples of Ramesses II emerge from the sand as the sun rises. We hold ceremony here. Most women name this the moment the journey became real.

​

Day 4

· Kom Ombo ·

Slowing down enough to hear your own soul again.

​

Gebel El-Silsila · Board the Dahabiya We board our traditional Dahabiya and begin our Nile journey. We sail to the double temple of Kom Ombo before continuing to the ancient sandstone quarries of Gebel El-Silsila. Dinner and stargazing on the river.

​

Day 5

· Edfu ·​

Ancient wisdom reveals itself when we are willing to slow down.

​

Besaw Island A morning visit to the Temple of Horus at Edfu – one of Egypt’s most impressive and best-preserved temples. The afternoon is yours on the sundeck as the Nile villages drift past. The evening brings a barbecue on Besaw Island beneath the stars.

​

Day 6

· Sailing to Esna ·​

A day to receive, integrate and simply be.

​

A slower, softer day. Breakfast on the water, sailing gently north. Time to journal, rest, and integrate everything that has moved through you so far. We arrive in Esna as the evening light falls and share a farewell dinner under the night sky.

​​

Day 7

· Disembark · LUXOR​

The temples awaken in a different way after dark.

​

Luxor Temple by Night We disembark after breakfast and transfer to Luxor. After settling in, we visit Luxor Temple after dark – lit gold against the night sky, alive in a way that is difficult to put into words.

​

Day 8

· Hot Air Balloon ·​

Witness Egypt from above before stepping into its deepest mysteries.

​

West Bank · Valley of the Kings A sunrise hot air balloon ride over the West Bank as the light arrives. Then on to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon. The west bank is the land of death and rebirth. You will feel it.

​

Day 9

· Dendera ·​

Two of Egypt's most powerful temples. Two profound transmissions.

​

Abydos The Temple of Hathor at Dendera – one of Egypt’s most feminine and best-preserved temples and Abydos, one of the oldest cities in Egypt and the sacred site of Osiris. Two temples. Two transmissions. One of the fullest days of the journey.

​

Day 10

· Karnak ·​

The final chapter begins.

​

Fly to Cairo We open the morning at Karnak – vast, alive, and unlike anything you have ever walked through. Then we fly to Cairo. The final chapter begins.

​

Day 11

· The Great Pyramid ·​

Standing where mystery, history and remembrance meet.

​

Saqqara The Giza Plateau. The Sphinx. The Great Pyramid and connection inside the King’s Chamber. The afternoon takes us to Saqqara, Egypt’s oldest stone complex and the site of the first pyramid ever built.

​

Day 12

· Grand Egyptian Museum ·​

A celebration of everything Egypt has revealed.

​

Khan el-Khalili A morning at the Grand Egyptian Museum – home to the complete treasures of Tutankhamun. The afternoon in the ancient bazaar of Khan el-Khalili. Our closing ceremony and farewell dinner tonight.

​

Day 13

· Departure You leave Egypt ·

You leave Egypt, but Egypt does not leave you.

​

But Egypt does not leave you. In the weeks ahead we gather online for our post-retreat integration circle – because the real work often begins when you get home.
