Our 2026 Sacred Journey of Initiation is our 26th year organizing,
operating and leading sacred travel groups annually to this very ancient land.
Since 2000 we've led over 30 groups to explore and experience
its transformative power and the myriad of enduring mysteries that it offers.



 Join us for an extraordinary sacred journey from the Mists of Time through the Age of the Pharaohs!

Sacred Sites Journeys' Director Andrea Mikana-Pinkham
has led over 30 groups to EGYPT since 2000.
She and Rt. Rev. Sean P. McCabe, KT. PhD.,
are Co-Founders of The Temple of the Golden Serpent.
Andrea and Sean are also teachers of the classical Egyptian Mysteries
and longtime researchers of ancient megalithic technology & history.

Our Egyptologist/Guide is Dr. Vivian Zaki, PhD.
Vivian's dual degree is in Archaeology & Tourism,
and she has over 28 years experience guiding groups in Egypt.

During this unique spiritual pilgrimage we'll cover much of the land of ancient Egypt
while recounting the tens of thousands of years worth of history
 that occurred there since the time of the Zep Tepi, the "First Age".
 
To learn about the pre-dynastic and dynastic history we'll study
the ancient hieroglyphs on the walls of many perfectly preserved temples.

We'll visit the ancient temples that lie along the banks of the ageless Nile,
once referred to by the initiates of Egypt as the "Spine of Osiris".
At each of them we'll seek to activate their acclaimed spiritual power.
Through group or individual meditations we'll summon their corresponding Gods and Goddesses,
and seek to activate the corresponding energy centers, or chakras within our own bodies.

Egypt-Ankh1-Ani.gif (11660 bytes)


At the beginning of our distinctive techno-spiritual journey we'll spend time in GIZA
exploring the famous Sphinx and the ancient pyramids on the Giza Plateau.



We'll visit the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza.




At SAQQARA we'll explore the Unas Pyramid, the Valley Temple, the Causeway,
and other ancient structures & buildings from dynastic times.
We'll enter the Serapeum to see the gigantic granite "boxes" from pre-dynastic times!

In the afternoon we'll enjoy an Entrance into Djoser's Pyramid!



We'll then fly from Cairo to ASWAN and explore the Temple of Isis Complex,
Elephantine Island and much more!



Then we'll embark the M/S Chateau Lafayette Cruise Ship for a 3-night cruise on the serene Nile!



It'll be our home on the ageless river as we sail in Upper Egypt
from Aswan to visit ancient temples located along the Nile
at KOM OMBO and EDFU.



Arriving in LUXOR, we'll disembark the cruise ship and visit Karnak Temple,
including the Sekhmet Chapel, and Luxor Temple.



On Luxor's West Bank we'll explore the tombs in the Valley of the Kings,
Pharoah Hatshepsut's Temple to Amun and the Colossi of Memnon.



Our last day in Upper Egypt we'll drive north from Luxor through the serene and peaceful Egyptian countryside
to DENDERA, to visit the Temple of Dendera, dedicated to Hathor!



Then we'll drive back to Luxor, and head to the airport for our flight back to CAIRO.
We'll stay again in GIZA for the end of our mystical journey.

In DASHOUR we'll enter and explore the ageless mysteries and frequencies of the Red Pyramid.
And we'll view the Bent Pyramid from the outside.




Our spiritual pilgrimage will end with a PRIVATE ENTRANCE
into the Great Pyramid for meditation and initiation.

FROM SEAN: About My Experience in EGYPT...and What I Offer You...
I expected the highlights of pyramids and temples that are glamourised in Hollywood but what I experienced was far superior to that.
This was mainly for two reasons.
One, I had the good fortune to meet Andrea Mikana-Pinkham and Vivian Zaki whose longtime experience and professional expertise
enriched my adventure rather than just another visit to an ancient civilisation.
Secondly, although I have many years' experience in esoteric science and spirituality,
I was guided in the correct sequence to the precise locations to activate the energies within me and connect with very powerful frequencies.

One experience that stands out was in our private entrance to the Resonance Chamber in the Great Pyramid.
In the sarcophagus I received a very powerful kundalini vibration that could only be described as a gilt-edged psychic upgrade.
The Beings were fascinating who carried out the operation and the dimensional transmission.

What I Have to Offer as a Meditation and Spiritual Facilitator during the Egypt 2026 Pilgrimage:
I have taught many people esoteric science, meditation, and ritually initiated
hundreds of seekers on the path to self-realisation.
In my capacity as a meditation and spiritual facilitator I will present workshops
followed by a guided meditation to open the relevant chakra prior to activation and initiation at the associated temple.

Another Important Message from Andrea: Why Come To Egypt With Us?



During the last 25+ years that I've been leading our sacred travel groups to Egypt
I've made long-lasting connections with some of the best hotels, cruise ships and local shop owners.
And, very importantly, with the guards at the temples who will make it possible
for us to have the time and space for our meditations and initiations.
I can assure you that all of these people will all do their utmost to work with me
to support you to experience Egypt in ways that most people never do!
I've designed this spiritual pilgrimage to Egypt so that you have the auspicious opportunity
to easily engage the ancient initiatory energies on a very deep level at the ancient pyramids
and sacred temples that are chakra sites along the Nile.

We'll be able to leisurely explore the temples and pyramids
with our Egyptologist Guide Dr. Vivian Zaki, our Featured Speaker Sean McCabe and myself.

During the time that we've been taking our groups of sacred travelers to Egypt,
people have had awesomely transformative experiences in the ancient pyramids and sacred temples that we visited.
Our 2026 grand spiritual adventure will be no exception!

So....If it's been your lifetime dream to travel to Egypt, NOW is the time to make your dream come true,
by joining us in February 2026 for the spiritual adventure of a lifetime!

Egypt-Sakkara2.jpg (13677 bytes)

Egypt-Serapeum2.JPG (10411 bytes)

Saqqara: Saqqara Temple and Step Pyramid, Pyramid of Unas, the ancient boxes in the Serapeum

Breakfast at your leisure. Begins at 6:00AM

9:300AM Depart to Saqqara, dedicated to the Neter Sokar
and believed by traditional Egyptologists to be the earliest necropolis,
or burial place, for the Pharaohs and royalty of the Memphis area.
We enter the site by walking through the temple complex filled with rows of columns,
where the ancient priests and priestess used sound to perform healings.

We'll visit and enter the Pyramid of Unas, a smooth-sided pyramid built in the 24th century BCE for the Egyptian pharaoh Unas,
the 9th and final king of the Fifth Dynasty. It's the smallest Old Kingdom pyramid, but significant due to the discovery of Pyramid Texts,
spells for the king's afterlife which are incised into the walls of its subterranean chambers.
The spells are the smallest and best-preserved collection of Pyramid Texts known from the Old Kingdom.
Though they first appeared in Unas's pyramid, many of the texts are significantly older.

These funerary texts were Inscribed for the first time in Unas's pyramid, and the tradition was carried on in the pyramids of subsequent rulers,
through to the end of the Old Kingdom, and into the Middle Kingdom through the Coffin Texts that form the basis of the Book of the Dead.

Ancient Egyptian belief held that the individual consisted of three basic parts; the body, the ka, and the ba.
When the person died, the ka would separate from the body and return to the gods from where it had come, while the ba remained with the body.
The body of the individual, interred in the burial chamber, never physically left;
but the awakened ba released itself from the body and began its journey toward new life.

Significant to this journey was the Akhet: the horizon, a junction between the earth, the sky, and the Duat.
To ancient Egyptians, the Akhet was the place from where the sun rose, and so symbolised a place of birth or resurrection.
In the texts, the king is called upon to transform into an akh in the Akhet.
The akh, literally "effective being", was the resurrected form of the deceased, attained through individual action and ritual performance.
If the deceased failed to complete the transformation, they became mutu, that is "the dead".
The function of the texts, in congruence with all funerary literature, was to enable the reunion of the ruler's ba and ka
leading to the transformation into an akh, and to secure eternal life among the gods in the sky.

Unas built his pyramid between the complexes of Sekhemket and Djoser, in North Saqqara.
Anchored to the valley temple at a nearby lake, a long causeway was constructed to provide access to the pyramid site.
The causeway had elaborately decorated walls covered with a roof which had a slit in one section allowing light to enter, illuminating the images.

The causeway joined the temple in the harbor with the mortuary temple on the east face of the pyramid.
The mortuary temple was entered on its east side through a large granite doorway,
seemingly constructed by Unas's successor, Teti.
Just south of the upper causeway are two long boat pits.
These may have contained two wooden boats: the solar barques of Ra, the sun god.
We'll thoroughly explore all of these areas!

We'll also have the auspicious opportunity to visit the mysterious Serapeum,
said by Egyptologists to have been associated with the cult of the Apis bulls,
and believed to have been built during the 18th dynasty.
Mainstream academics tell us that the bull was considered to be an incarnation of Ptah,
with a white blaze on its forehead and throat, a red saddle-like mark on its back, and a white belly.
They were so important that when they died, a day of national mourning would be declared.
After the bull was embalmed, its corpse was taken along the sacred way from Memphis to Sakkara,
where it was interred in the Serapeum.
However, there are other theories as to the use of these huge granite boxes.
Perhaps they are evidence of ancient advanced machining techniques
that cannot be reproduced today by engineers.

If we're fortunate to find ourselves alone here (which has happened during most of our journeys!),
we'll have time for meditation on your own among these ancient stone boxes and their very amazing energy.

1:00PM Group Lunch at the Palm Club Resort, a popular restaurant in the local area.

Afterwards we return to Saqqara to enter Djoser's Pyramid, also known as the Step Pyramid,
traditionally believed to have been constructed about 2630 BCE by Imhotep, architect to King Djoser (Dynasty III).
We'll hear from our Egyptologist why some experts believe this to be the world's oldest freestanding stone structure.
Andrea and Sean will share theories that refute this, to give us a different point of view of the history.
.
We return to the hotel later afternoon.

You have free time to relax by the pool and/or to sort and pack for our flight to Aswan tomorrow.
If you have any souvenirs that you've purchased that you'd like to leave at the hotel
until we return on February 11th, pack them in a separate bag
to leave in the locked luggage room tomorrow morning before we depart.

Dinner on your own.
Overnight Giza. Pyramids Park Resort.


Day 5. Thursday, February 5. To Aswan: Papyrus Institute, Isis Temple Complex;
Optional Tour: Sound & Light Show at Isis Temple (B/L/D)



Aswan: Panoramic View, Temple of Isis Complex, Sound/Light Show at Temple of Isis

Time To Be Announced Pick up your breakfast box at reception and board our bus to transfer to Cairo International Airport.

Time to Be Announced Morning flight to Aswan.
Time to Be Announced Arrive Aswan.

After claiming our luggage, we drive into Aswan, one of the world's most beautiful resort towns in all of Egypt,
noted for its peace and quiet. Located on the First Cataract of the Nile and gateway to Nubia.
With its colorful bazaar, laid-back atmosphere, warm and welcoming people and a lovely promenade along the Nile,
Aswan is a favorite city in Egypt for many visitors from all over the world.

We'll visit a local Papyrus Institute.

Our lunch today is at a Nubian Restaurant located near the Temple of Isis complex.

We then continue for our visit to explore the Temple of Isis complex on the Island of Agilkia,
the small island where the temples that were on the
nearby Island of Philae were moved to when the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970.

The name Philae comes from the ancient Egyptian word Pilak, meaning “the remote place.”
This southernmost site in Egypt was the last outpost of the 4,000 year-old ancient Egyptian spiritual tradition
that venerated Isis, the Neter of Healing and Magic, wife/sister of Osiris, and mother of Horus.

Isis may be the oldest deity in Egypt, and certainly the oldest
to survive in much the same form as in the ancient times.
She may also be the most important, as She was worshipped almost universally by all Egyptians.
As the major Goddess of the Egyptian pantheon, with many of the
same attributes of other Mother Goddesses found all over the world,
She was revered as the Great Protector, prayed to for guidance, and beseeched for peace in the world.
Her Egyptian name was Auset, which meant "female of throne", i.e. Queen of the Throne.
Teachings about the pre-dynastic Egyptians, from the oral tradition passed down through the ages,
say that it was a matriarchal and matrilineal culture, and that the woman was the power behind the throne.
The mother or sister chose the male who ruled. Thus the throne that is shown carved on Isis' head in hieroglyphs in the temples.

During the Greco-Roman period, this sacred island was the main cult center of Isis.
Her worship lasted here until the 6th century CE, when it was outlawed by the Emperor Justinian.
Though it died out here, Her influence spread to Greece and Rome and on throughout Europe.
Some researchers believe that the Black Madonnas found in many cathedrals
 were representations of Isis and Her son Horus.

Andrea and/or Sean will facilitate our Group Meditation & 1st Chakra Initiation
at the site of the original Isis Temple complex on Philae Island.
As Her priestesses and priests did in ancient times, we'll call in Her
Divine Feminine Mysteries and offer our heartfelt requests for healing and transformation.

4:00PM Continue to the hotel and check in.
The Basma Hotel is located on the highest point of Aswan
next to the famous pharaonic monuments and overlooking the beautiful greenery and the amazing Nile Views.
Authentic unique art, hand-painted walls and ceilings immediately give you
a head start on the beauty you will enjoy here during your stay.

6:30PM Optional Tour Sound/Light Show at Temple of Isis
Depart to Agilkia Island & the Temple of Isis complex with our local tour representative
where you'll enjoy an unforgettable experience as you travel back through history tonight.
The show brings this magical temple back to life, especially the Egyptian Gods and Goddesses, like Isis, Osiris and Hathor!
This exceptional journey will steal your heart by revealing some of the ancient secrets and mysteries.
Return to the hotel.

Begins at 7:00PM Buffet Dinner at hotel.
You can go whenever you like, whether you go to the Sound/Light Show or not.
Overnight Aswan. Basma Hotel.


Day 6. Friday, February 6. Aswan: Elephantine Island & Spice Market;

Breakfast at your leisure. Begins at 6:00AM

9:30AM Depart to the dock, where we board a felucca (small sailboat) for our short trip across the Nile to
Elephantine Island, named for the Greek word meaning 'elephant'.
The more common name for the city by ancient Egyptians was Sehel.
The name describes the city's function as a gate to the South, since elephants
were basically brought from the Nubian lands south of here.

We explore the ancient Temple of Khnum the main cult center of the ram-headed creator god.
Khnum was the Neter of fertility, water and the Great Potter at their conception.

Andrea and/or Sean will lead a Group Meditation to assist you to connect with the creative energies of Khnum!

Afterwards we'll see a huge granite shrine, an amazing smoking gun
that shows that the ancient pre-dynastic Egyptians used advanced machining techniques!
We can also surmise about what natural catastrophe
in the distant past could have knocked this huge box over on its side.
We can use our psychic archaeology as we meditate individually next to this ancient artifact.
Will you discover who built it? When? And why?

Noon Depart Elephantine Island, return to the mainland. We visit the local souk/marketplace!
You'll be able to buy scarves, galabayahs, blouses and shirts, tablecloths and more from Vivian's friend
who is the local wholesaler to the vendors in the market!
Afterwards we'll stop in at the spice market, where you can buy just about any kind of spice you can think of.
They'll be expertly packaged so that you can easily take them home to use in your cooking.

dedicated to the Neter Horus, son of Isis and Osiris,
the falcon-headed Neter who is the symbol of the Higher Self.
The temple complex is one of the finest examples of Ptolemaic art in Egypt
and perhaps one of the best-preserved of the entire ancient world!

We'll explore the various areas of the temple complex with our Egyptologist Vivian,
viewing the richly decorated important scenes
related to the divinities associated with the cult of Horus:
Osiris, Isis, Sokar, and Khonsu.

Return to the boat. 7:30AM - 9:00AM Breakfast

7:30AM Sailing to Luxor

11:0AM Group Meditation and 3rd Chakra Initiation by Andrea and/or Sean

1:00PM Lunch onboard. Barbecue Buffet.

Followed by free time to rest and relax until we dock in Luxor.

Time to Be Announced We depart to the East Bank for our visit to Karnak Temple, including Sekhmet's Chapel
Our first stop at Karnak Temple is the incomparable Sekhmet Chapel located in the Temple of Ptah.
Sekhmet is one of the oldest of the Neters. Her name means "Mighty One" or "Powerful One"
and is derived from the Egyptian word 'Sekhem', which means "power" or "might".
She was the patroness of physicians, surgeons and healers.
Because of Her power, She is sometimes portrayed in a negative way by traditional Egyptology.
They often overlook Her qualities as Healer, Mother and Protector.
Sekhmet's black granite statues show Her standing with a scepter
in the shape of the papyrus, heraldic plant of Lower Egypt.
Sekhmet seems to have recently been reinvented; to some people
She has become the symbol of the modern-day empowered woman.
She is still approached as a healer, bringer of justice and as a guardian or protector, but the emphasis has shifted
so that She has transformed from what was almost a force of chaos into an icon of immanent female power.

Andrea and Sean will facilitate a Group Meditation to assist you to connect with Sekhmet
and Her powerfully protective Unconditional Love of the Mother,
as well as the the transformative energy that destroys the ego
and brings you into alignment with your Higher Self.
We'll call Her timeless energies to us for a great blessing.
She will enfold you in Her loving arms and bless you with an initiation
that will gift you with increased empowerment of the Divine Feminine in your Being.

Afterwards, we explore the vast Temple of Karnak, the largest columned temple in the world!
Once connected to Luxor Temple, two miles away, by a long avenue of Sphinxes
(which are still partially intact),
Karnak is dedicated to the Neter Amun-Ra, the hidden Power of Creation,
and his feminine counterpart, the Neter Mut.

As the Egyptian creator deity par excellence,
Amun was self-created and was thus hidden from humanity.
However, the addition of "Ra" to His name revealed Him.
Ra was the common Egyptian term for the sun, thus making Him visible.
Hence, Amun-Ra combined within Himself the two opposites of divinity, the hidden and the revealed.
We'll explore the Temple of Amun, including the Holy of Holies.

We'll find an out-of-the-way area where you can meditate on your own to connect with
the energies of Amun-Ra and Mut, to balance the male and female energies within.

Day 10. Tuesday, February 10. To Dendera, Return Flight to Cairo (B/Box L)




Temple of Hathor, Top of Hathor Column, Dendera Zodiac


8:00AM Breakfast

9:00AM Depart to Dendera .

11:00AM Arrive Dendera and visit the magnificent Ptolemaic temple dedicated to
the Neter Hathor / Het-Her, the wife of Horus / Heru.

Dendera is a Greek transliteration of the Egyptian Enet-t-neter or "Home of the Goddess".
The temple is often referred to today as "the Lourdes of ancient Egypt" because
in ancient times it was a healing center and sacred place of initiation
into the mysteries of male/female balance and sensual love.

Hathor's priestesses and priests offered miraculous cures,
practicing all types of magical and psychological therapies.

Hathor was also known as the Neter of Motherhood, with titles such as
"The Great Cow Who Protects Her Child" and "Mistress of the Sanctuary of Women".

Her oracular priests and priestesses predicted the fate of the newborn; as well,
they were also the midwives who delivered them.

As the Protectress of Music and Dance, Hathor was associated with percussive music, in particular the sistrum.
Her traditional votive offering was two mirrors, the better with which to see both Her beauty and your own.
Her head was used to decorate sistrums and mirrors.

She was also the Neter of Joy who was deeply loved by the general population.
She was very revered by women, who aspired to embody her multifaceted role as wife, mother, and lover.
Her worship was so popular that more festivals were dedicated to her honor than any other Egyptian deity,
and more children were named after Her than any other.

In one of the upper rooms we'll view the replica of the famous Dendera Zodiac,
the only complete working Zodiac that survives from antiquity!
(The original one resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris.)
The zodiac is referred to by many researchers who have studied it for years as "intentional art",
a work of sacred art deliberately encoded with information.
It's one of the most well-known sacred calendric artifacts in the world,
on the level of Stonehenge and the Aztec calendar.
Showing the positions of the stars and planets as they would have been seen at 50BCE,
it nevertheless projects its messages forward to 2216 CE!

Here, in one of the out-of-the-way rooms of the ancient temple,
among the powerful transformational energies of this sacred site,
Andrea and Sean will facilitate a Group Meditation to assist you to
connect with the Greater Mysteries of Hathor and the Divine Feminine.

Time allowing, you may be able to take the optional visit to the Crypt of the main temple
where you'll be able to to see some amazing controversial wall panels.
Do the lightbulb-like objects represent an ancient technology of electricity,
or some other form of energy known to and utilized by the ancient Egyptians?
Are they symbols esoteric teachings about spiritual evolution?
In ancient times entrance into these underground chambers was limited to only the highest initiates,
as the wall panels contain very esoteric information pertaining to alchemy, prehistory, and ancient wisdom.

Afterwards we depart for our drive back to Luxor. Enjoy your box lunch along the way.

We arrive in Luxor later afternoon and drive directly to the airport for our evening flight to Cairo.
Dinner is on your own. You'll have a chance to purchase an informal meal at the airport;
pizza and sandwiches are available for sale.

Dashour: The Red Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid

Breakfast at your leisure. Begins at 6:00AM

8:30AM Depart to Dashour, with entrance into Red Pyramid & visit outside Bent Pyramid
We start our day at Dashour, located on the southern border of "Land of Osiris",
where we'll explore the Red Pyramid, possibly a Per Neter ("house of nature")
built out of limestone and granite, possibly to function as an energy device.
We'll explore this theory and test it first-hand during our time inside, when we experience the acoustic harmonic resonance.
Andrea and Sean will facilitate a Group Meditation and 5th Chakra Initiation
to enliven the sacred frequencies, perhaps as the priests and priestesses did in ancient times, to reach higher states of consciousness.

Afterwards we'll stop nearby at the Bent Pyramid, built in the distant past from locally quarried limestone.
What is the reason for the bend in the construction? We'll explore various theories.
Does the bend in the construction of the outer surface produce
two different sound frequencies, and thus two different energies?
Egyptology says the structure was built by the Pharaoh Sneferu.
Other theories say that it was built by the pre-dynastic Egyptians, and that the name Sneferu was not the name of any person,
but rather that it translates as "double harmony", thus indicating its purpose
as a resonance device with two different angles which produces two different tones.
Time permitting you may be able to have an optional entry.

Noon Return to the hotel. Lunch on your own. Free time.

4:00PM Group Meeting and Presentation by Andrea and/or Sean

As we enter and climb up through the Ascending Passage and the Grand Gallery
take some time to look around, as you'll surely marvel at the amazing construction techniques
used by the ancient pre-dynastic builders!

We enter the Upper Chamber for our Closing Meditation and 6th and 7th Chakra Initiations.
In our private space away from the crowds, you'll experience the powerful interdimensional energies
that are very palpable in this ancient enigmatic edifice and you'll be able to connect with more of your higher frequencies.



Andrea and Sean will assist you to activate your inner alchemical force in your chakra centers of power along your spine
so that your inner Ba or Spirit can further awaken and rise up through your 6th and 7th chakras,
initiating you as a Kheper, the "Arisen One," a term derived from the Neter Khephri, the "resurrected" scarab beetle.
Welcome Home to more of your True Self!

A FEW WORDS FROM SOME OF OUR FORMER TRAVELERS TO EGYPT:

Egypt-Aswan-MichelleH-June2011.jpg (40502 bytes) Every now and then your life takes an amazing turn into unexpected enchantment. My trip to Egypt with Sacred Sites Journeys was one of them. Thanks to Andrea, Vivian and all my new (or perhaps old) Sisters who shared this fantastic journey. I will cherish the memory always. Michelle H. - Australia

I felt totally safe everywhere we went. Andrea is particular about the people who work for her and they are all good people. The highlight of the trip for me was the spiritual experiences. The many ceremonies Andrea led us through assisted me in feeling vibrationally lighter, as did the energy spots, the sacred places here in Egypt. Thank you Andrea for a well-planned trip to bring about the most sacred experiences. I am truly grateful. Donna H. - Canada

Great trip! Wonderful way to see Egypt and its ancient wonders for a first-time explorer. Adding to that, the spiritual practices and knowledge imported to us by Andrea and Vivian brought the Gods and Goddesses to life. The energy in the temples must be experienced. It's beyond anything one could possibly imagine. Life-changing for sure. Through this Sacred Sites Journeys tour I've developed a love and connection with Egypt and its people that reaches to the depths of my heart and soul. Truly a transforming and fulfilling journey. Kathleen B. - USA

This Sacred Sites Journey to Egypt was so well organized, in all ways. I was taken care of individually in my spiritual and personal process during the tour. Andrea finds the very strong power spots. The meditations at them were powerful. It was fantastic to feel my own connection to the Gods and Goddesses. And the whole group was together in a sweet and loving atmosphere. Lone K. - Denmark Egypt-Karnak-PameP-June2011.jpg (15498 bytes)

It is so hard to put into words my experience of this journey, yet I sum it up with - It was worth the 20+ years wait. From my first enquiry via email to Andrea I had all my questions, concerns, requests and guidance answered quickly. This tour was such an amazing experience. A top professional company. Vivian, our tour guide extraordinaire is a loving, giving, strong and supportive woman. She took care of us over and above her 'duties'.   Andrea's assistants in Egypt were all warm and professional. As for the 'journey', I had high expectations. And I leave the tour with all and more than I could ever even expected. Andrea, Vivian and the group connected as Sisters so quickly, which is acknowledgment of how spiritually sacred sites operate. I have had so many amazing spiritual experiences. I have definitely flown! Andrea, you are a loving and strong Light, like Sekhmet. My dear Sisters, you sit in my heart. Thanks is too small a word for what I feel towards you all. I would and will be recommending Sacred Sites Journeys. AWESOME! Pame P. - Australia

Egypt-LKramer.jpg (9360 bytes)I am finally "back". It took me more than a week to become familiar with this new, expanded self.  I woke up every night at 1:30 am to have breakfast (starving!)  I feel very quiet inside and at peace.  I want to thank Andrea for her gentle guidance and wisdom, her beauty as a person and for her commitment to the work.  Of course, I am still integrating and learning from the energies we received in Egypt, but so far as I can describe it, these energies are of an exquisite nature, very refined. It is amazing that what was created in ancient times is today a calling for the world to transform.  How is this possible in the middle of such noise, dense population, dirt, etc., for these energies to just BE and CREATE change?  I love the mysteries - I love life!  People ask me "what was your favorite part?" I stop to reflect, and all I can say is "everything!"   Egypt came in a package, and all of it was experiential. Liz K - MD

Egypt-SPolanco.jpg (10821 bytes) Egypt was the most magical and enlightening trip I have been on in the last several years. Andrea's expertise in calling in the energies of each site with sacred ceremony and chant made it very easy to accept the healing powers that were offered. The Grand Finale of being in the Great Pyramid for our private closing ceremony is an experience beyond words! Sandra P - NC

Egypt-SSmith.jpg (13102 bytes)The sacred journey to Egypt with Andrea was a beautiful experience, capturing the wonders of this ancient country, the hospitality and kindness of its people, and the essences of what one can only possibly perceive as ancient Egyptian spirituality and esotericism. The journey was as much about the outer work as it was the inner work. Andrea held space for all the tour participants to experience Egypt on many levels - from visits to the temples and sites to a deeper appreciation of our own inner temples. Our Egyptian guide/Egyptologist captured the beauty of ancient Egypt and remained enthusiastically supportive of each of our individual journeys. She became the group's Egyptian guardian. A lovely memory from Abydos reminds me of the unique blending of cultures, religions, and spirituality, which transpired over the course of those magical days together. Inside an exquisite antechamber, some of the group participants began chanting. We moved from chants of the Goddess to Christian mysticism to other traditions. We asked our guide to chant something from the Koran, which she did with kindness and enthusiasm. The temple guards joined her and then asked why she chanted from the Koran. She explained our request to them. In that moment, our beliefs were no different. All was experienced as One. Again and again, this type of magic happened throughout Egypt. And this magic brought wonder. And that magic also gave me a kick in the behind when needed. The journey was transformative. My life continues to transform as a result of the many gifts I received during that pilgrimage. Life cannot be the same after Egypt - thankfully so. Steve S, MBA, MA - Dream Therapist - CA

What a rejuvenating trip. Instead of coming home tired, I came home super charged with energy. Instead of being "done" after I got back, it lit a fire in me that I hope never goes out. The power of the pyramids is phenomenal. The temple sites speak to you in a language that only the soul can interpret. When a journey like this sparks a beginning rather than an ending, you know you've transcended the sands of time. There are no more barriers. Joanne D, MN

Egypt-LRen.jpg (7632 bytes)

The trip to Egypt exceeded all my expectations. The November weather was perfect with hot sunny days and cool nights. Each site was a gem and worth a longer, repeat visit. The carvings, hieroglyphs and paintings went beyond sheer beauty to offer layer upon layer of meaning. I appreciated the way Andrea and our guides managed our visits so we could get some "private time" in these very special places. I felt like I was both healed by and contributed to the healing of these ancient holy places as we toned and meditated in them. Our Egyptian guides were fantastic, providing insights and inspiring a deeper curiosity. Andrea and Vivian created and held a sacred space where we could all learn. I enjoyed my "Journey Sisters" as much as the journey itself. Everyone brought a special gift for the group. Lilith R, NM

Our sacred tour to Egypt was the most exciting, exhilarating experience for spiritual growth & expansion. Egypt is definitely the place to go to bring back knowledge of your past. It's an experience that all humanity must experience. The metaphysical Egyptologist and Tour Escort accomplished everything they said they would and provided it with passion. We were treated like kings and queens. The accommodations were 5 * - providing us with great views, food, pleasant service. Visiting all the different sites was spellbinding. Michael C - Canada

What a wonderful journey it was to Egypt.  It was even more than what I expected.  Andrea, you did a phenomenal job!  Thank you again for the wonderful journey.  It is truly one I will never forget. Dianne C - MO

The Sacred Journey to Egypt was fabulous! Thanks to our Ceremonialist Andrea Pinkham and our Egyptologist for all the positive energy! Ginny C - CA

Upon meeting Andrea and discussing the upcoming journey to Egypt I knew deeply in my soul that this was an experience of a lifetime and Andrea was the person I was to be led through this sacred land with.  I fail completely with words in attempting to describe the profound and life changing circumstances that occurred in Egypt and as an aftermath of Egypt. Three months later I am still processing and feeling the healing energies of our journey. My life will never be as it was, as this journey granted me clarity, courage, release of past wounds, an ability to receive love with a heightened ease and grace, and an expansion of spirit that can only be achieved via real experience.  I have found that real change touches on a much deeper level when I am away from all the "knowns" in life which keep me defined.  Andrea holds the space for genuine transformation to occur by creating a "safe" environment for body, mind, and soul.  She is a woman of great strength, knowledge, intuition and patience.  My heart is forever full and grateful for this magnificent experience.  From every part of me ~ Thank You. Lea M - CA
