Using the mythology, stories and archetypes of the ancients we come to understand who we really are – the limitless consciousness that creates the very fabric of this reality. We’ll experience the powerful energies at these sacred sites – compelling us to transcend rather than being enslaved by the old stories and mythologies of our ego-minds. It is said that during the journey to the afterlife the god Anubis weighs your heart against a feather – and only if your heart is as light as that feather will you have eternal life. By letting go of the stories which weigh heavy on our hearts, we too can be free and embrace our eternal consciousness.
Ancient Stones
Our adventure in Egypt begins in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza, where stone meets sky as a testament to one of the greatest civilizations on earth. Here, on the plateau of Giza, 2,300,000 blocks of stone, some weighing as much as 9 tons, were used to build an eternal tomb for a divine king. The art, design and proportion of these structures were truly a testament to their beliefs of resurrection, transformation and divine illuminated consciousness. When these ancient stones speak to us, whispering their mysteries and wonders, we will be ready.
Spiritual Wisdom & Culture
We’re blessed to have a knowledgeable Egyptologist who will accompany us, sharing his enthusiasm and wisdom of this incredible culture. Reading John Anthony West’s book: The Traveler’s Key to Ancient Egypt: A Guide to the Sacred Places of Ancient Egypt (<– Look in our recommended books) is a great way to prepare for this journey! It’s not a typical travel book, but instead focuses on the spiritual intent of these amazing structures.
