About My Experience Leading Journeys to Egypt...and What I Offer You...
As a young child I was fascinated by the civilization of ancient Egypt,
and had a lifelong desire to travel to there to see the pyramids and Sphinx.



Mark and I founded our sacred travel company in 1993.
We operated and led spiritual pilgrimages to Peru for many years.
In 2000 we also began offering and leading sacred journeys to Egypt. 
Since then we've been taking groups yearly (or sometimes more often!)
to experience the magic and mystery of this ancient land
and its many secrets and theories about its spirituality and ancient civilizations.
It's one of my passions and joys in life to be able to support others to make
their own special connections in beloved Egypt!

VIVIAN ZAKI, PhD

Vivian at the Temple of Horus at Edfu and the Temple of Isis in Aswan

From Andrea: Dr. Vivian Zaki is our dear friend and spiritual Sister.
Our groups have found her to be extremely knowledgeable, very professional,
and also very warm and friendly.
Her dual degree is in Archaeology and Tourism,
and she has over 28 years experience guiding groups in Egypt.
She is very open to our spiritual focus.

An Important Message from Andrea:



During the last 25 years that Mark and I have been leading our groups to Egypt
I've made long-lasting connections with some of the best hotels, wooden sailboats, 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 Mark Amaru Pinkham 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 2025 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 late February/early March 2025 for the spiritual adventure of a lifetime!

Aswan is a favorite city in Egypt for many visitors from all over the world.
Lunch on your own. Or optional Box Lunch from the Oasis Hotel.

1:30PM Visit Temple of Isis on Agilkia Island
This afternoon we 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.

During our Group Meditation facilitated by Andrea in or near the Holy of Holies we'll welcome Isis!
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.

Afterwards we return to the mainland, stopping for a brief visit at the Unfinished Obelisk
for a gander at this gigantic block of Aswan granite.
Was it shaped by hand with copper chisels, as traditional Egyptology tells us?
Or was it machined in the distant past
by the ancient pre-dynastic Egyptians, and NOT carved by hand?
 Your eyes and intuition will tell you the truth!

5:00PM 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.

the love of his life. The temple's facade is dominated by four enormous seated statues of the Pharaoh, each over 67 feet high.
The temples were shifted to higher ground in the 1960s as the waters of Lake Nasser began to rise following completion of the Aswan High Dam.
After your time at these powerful temples, you board your return flight to Aswan.
On arrival you'll be met by SSJs local tour representative who will assist you to transfer back to the hotel.

You have the morning free to sleep in, rest and relax. Take a dip in the pool.
Lunch on your own.

2:00PM Visit to the local souk/marketplace and more with Vivian, Andrea & Mark!

9:30AM Check out of hotel
10:00AM 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 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?

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.

Precinct of Mut; Karnak Temple and Sekhmet Chapel; Luxor Museum: Bust of Pharaoh Akhenaten and Sobek Statue

7:00AM Optional Hatha Yoga Class & Meditation facilitated by Mark Amaru

8:00AM Breakfast

9:15AM Disembark

9:30AM Depart with Vivian, Andrea and Mark to meet their long time friends and spiritual brothers,
a Sufi family who own and operate Radwan Jewelers and Gallery.
You'll be able to find the perfect sacred amulet of your favorite Neter.
Will it be Isis? Hathor? Sekhmet? Horus? Osiris? Who is calling you?
This family of excellent silver and goldsmiths
have many options from both types of metal for you to choose from. You can also order T-shirts for yourself, as well as for gifts,
with your name embroidered in hieroglyphs.

11:30AM Visit the Precinct of Mut, dedicated to the quintessence of the Divine Feminine, the Mother.
She's intimately connected with Sekhmet through the mists of time, so it's possible that in the very ancient past,
they were one and the same. You'll have time to wander among the many powerfully palpable statues of Mut
in order to meditate on your own to connect with her energy of Unconditional Love.

12:30PM - Visit Karnak Temple, with Sekhmet Chapel and Precinct of Mut
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 Mark 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.

We then visit the Festival Hall of Tuthmosis III, where some
Rosacrucians believe their spiritual tradition originated.
Some researchers indicate that here Tuthmosis III reorganized the ancient
Mystery Schools of Thoth and founded the Royal School of the Master Craftsmen,
which came to be known as the Great White Brotherhood.
We'll take a few quiet moments for individual meditation to invite in the energies
of this ancient mystical Order that still exists on the higher planes today.
Be open to the Gifts of Spirit that you're sure to receive,
as well as to receive any messages that might be bestowed upon you.

2:30PM - Depart to hotel and check in. Lunch on your own. Free Time to relax in your luxurious room or at the pool.
Take advantage of the spa facilities; get a relaxing massage!

4:30PM Optional Tour Luxor Museum with Vivian
Among the most striking items displayed are grave goods from the tomb of Tutankhamun
and a collection of 26 exceptionally well preserved New Kingdom statues
that were found buried in a cache in nearby Luxor Temple in 1989.
The royal mummies of two pharaohs - Ahmose I and Ramesses I -
were put on display in the Luxor Museum in March 2004.
A major exhibit is a reconstruction of one of the walls of Akhenaten's temple at Karnak.
Another one of the featured items in the collection is a calcite double statue of the crocodile god Sobek
and the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep III. Return to the boat

7:00PM Group Dinner at the hotel.
Overnight Luxor. Sonesta St George Hotel.

Luxor Temple

5:00AM Optional Hot Air Balloon Ride
Depart before sunrise to the West Bank of the Nile,
where you'll watch your hot air balloon being inflated, receive safety instructions from your captain, and then board your balloon.
As the sun rises over the sacred river, you'll be taken back in time as you serenely drift above the ancient temples and monuments.
Then you'll come back to the present as you hover over today's modern fields and villages.
Sigh! Moments of peace and solitude never to be forgotten.
You'll drift slowly back down to the ground, landing in an open field.
After departing your gondola, you'll be transported back to the boat for breakfast.

Breakfast at your leisure. Begins at 6:00AM

9:30AM Depart for our morning visit to the West Bank to explore the
Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon
Depart across the Nile to the West Bank, which includes
the Necropolis of Thebes, or the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's Temple.
In the Valley of the Kings we explore the Mysteries of Death & Resurrection,
as we visit ancient tombs of the pharaohs,
still vibrant with scenes of ancient daily life and esoteric teachings about the afterlife.
You have the option to buy a special ticket to visit the famous tomb
of King Tut-Ankh-Amen, whose mummy is in situ.

Then we visit Queen Hatshepsut's magnificent Temple to Amun at Der el Bahari.
The 5th Pharaoh of the18th dynasty, Hatshepsut or Maatkare (Beloved of Maat") was of one of
the most famous of the few handful of the female Pharaohs who ruled Egypt in dynastic times.
Her mortuary temple, Djeser Djeseru ("Splendor of Splendors"),
is one of the most dramatically situated in the world
and was designed by her architect/lover Senenmut.
We visit the Birth Colonnade, the Anubis Chapel, the Punt Colonnade,
the Chapel of Hathor and the Upper Terrace,
where the Sanctuary of Hatshepsut and the Sanctuary of Amun are located.

We'll find an out-of-the-way area to sit and meditate on your own for a few minutes to connect with
the energies of this remarkable Pharaoh, inviting in the energy of the Divine Feminine.

Afterwards we'll make a brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon, enormous statues
that are the remains of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.
Recent excavations at the site have also unearthed other statues of this famous Pharaoh,
father of Amenhotep IV, who became known as Akhenaten.

1:00PM Return to the hotel. Lunch on your own.

In or near the Holy of Holies Andrea and Mark will facilitate a Group Meditation to support you to connect
more fully with your Third Eye intuitive energies, in order to bring
that which is usually hidden from your conscious self into the Light, for your continued spiritual evolution.

7:30PM Return to the hotel. Group dinner.
Overnight Luxor. Sonesta St. George Hotel.


Day 11. Wednesday, March 5. Luxor: To Abydos Visit Temple of Seti I;
Private Entrance into the Osirieon (B/D)




Temple of Seti I, Wall Panel in Western Hall, The Osirieon, Flower of Life Symbol

Breakfast at your leisure. Begins at 6:00AM

7:45AM Be in the lobby ready to depart
8:00AM Depart to Abydos

11:30AM Arrive Abydos and check into the hotel.

Relax in your room or out by the pool. Lunch on your own.

1:00PM Visit the Temple of Seti I
Today we're at the cradle of the oldest dynasties, the holy city that was the burial place
for the first kings of a unified Pharoanic Egypt, as well as where an ancient
pre-dynastic civilization built the magnificent Osirieon.
Ancient Egyptians were required to make a pilgrimage here at least once in their lifetimes;
today we make ours!

The Temple of Seti I is dedicated to Osiris/Ausar, Neter of Death and the Underworld,
as well as Resurrection and Renewal.
Osiris was a Realized Being or Serpent of Wisdom/Priest King from the mists of time who was believed
to have taught the skills of civilization to those living in the area.
Mark Amaru Pinkham writes about this in his newly reivsed and expanded popular classic
The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom - Special Edition,
and will share some of this information while we're here at this sacred site today.

The Ptolemaic Temple of Seti I contains some of the best-preserved wall panels in all of Egypt,
with colors that are still vivid!
We explore the various rooms that are temples to the various Neters
with our Egyptologist, Dr. Vivian Zaki.
One temple wall contains the King's List, the chronological list of the cartouches
 of 76 kings and Pharaohs of Egypt,
produced by scribes of Seti I. It's composed of the pharaohs from the
Early Dynastic Period before 3100 BCE
through to the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, when Egypt became
a province of Rome under Augustus Caesar in 30 BCE.
Absent from the list are the "heretic" pharaoh Akhenaten,
as well as Hatshepsut and other women pharaohs.

During our time at the sacred temple, among many thousand year-old columns and wall panels
vibrating with color and palpable energy,
Andrea and Mark will facilitate a Group Meditation to focus on the Osirian Mysteries.
In this ancient mystery tradition, the Djed Pillar symbolized the Backbone of Osiris.
On a mundane level it symbolized strength and support.
On the more esoteric level it represented the kundalini, the spiritual energy that the initiate strove to
awaken and move up the spine to the top of the head, awakening all energy centers
during the process and eventually achieving Enlightenment.
Like those of old, during our sacred ceremony you'll be supported to move your djed energies
upward for the rebirth of your "New Self".
Open your heart and rejoice as the old patterns that no longer serve you
fall away and more Love and Light take their place.

Return to the hotel. Take time for more rest and relaxation.

Time To Be Announced for our evening PRIVATE ENTRANCE to the Osirieon

As the sun in setting we'll return to the Temple of Seti I to visit the mysterious Osirieon,
built with gigantic stones only found in one other place in Egypt
- the Valley Temple next to the Sphinx that we'll visit during our day on the Giza Plateau.
With no mortar between these gigantic stones, this powerful building resembles
many of the other ancient megalithic sites around the world,
such as Sacsayhuaman in Peru and Stonehenge in England.
Could it be that a civilization more technologically advanced than we are today existed
in the world at the same time, many thousands of years ago?

On one of the pillars in the temple we'll see the ancient symbol of the Flower of Life.
With Mark Amaru Pinkham, author of Sacred Geometry and The Creation of the Universe,
we'll explore the meaning of this symbol which, according to Sacred Geometry,
is the building block of all life!
Who painted or etched (which is it?) these ancient esoteric symbols on the pillar here?

When the Oserion was first discovered by Seti I when building his temple it was completely buried by Nile silt.
According to John Anthony West and other geologists, this could have been the result of the temple
having once been close enough to the Nile River to receive the mud from its annual overflow.
And that would have been around 12,000 years ago!

Since the discovery of the Osirieon there have been many debates regarding its builders and its original purpose.
It has been speculated that the builders were the same Atlanteans who built the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx,
because the construction of the Valley Temple, which is right next to the Sphinx and just as old, is nearly identical to that of the Oserion.
And if the Oserion was built by missionaries from Atlantis, then they were most likely alchemists from the Motherland
because Abydos was destined to become the headquarters of the alchemical cult of Osiris.
This appears even more likely considering that Osiris united with Ptah to form the Egyptian neter Ptah-Osiris,
and Ptah was the Egyptian manifestation of Neptune, the patron of the Atlantean Kaberoi Order.
Thus, there is good reason to believe that Kaberoi alchemists from Atlantis built the Oserion
and then morphed into the Egyptian Priesthood of Osiris.

If the Osirieon was indeed constructed by Atlantean alchemists then it should have had
a similar purpose as the Great Pyramid, which was also built by the Atlanteans.
That purpose would have been to serve as an alchemical initiation chamber.

Like the Upper Chamber of the Great Pyramid (also known as the King's Chamber), the Osirieon
was designed to generate the Golden Spiral and built with amplifying granite.
This would have created the perfect alchemical environment for the generation and amplification
of the alchemical serpent fire and make it a powerful alchemical crucible for an initiate.
Thus, instead of being the tomb of Osiris, as many believe today, the Osirieon was more likely
the "alchemical tomb" for those candidate's being initiated into the ancient Kaberoi-Osirieon Priesthood.

Use your psychic archaeology to meditate and see what might be revealed to you!

Afterwards we return to the hotel for our group dinner.
Overnight Abydos. The House of Life Hotel.


Day 12. Thursday, March 6. Dendera: Temple of Hathor; Return to Luxor; Flight to Cairo (B/D)



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 Mark 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, arriving later afternoon.
We drive directly to the airport for our flight to Cairo.
PM Time To Be Announced Depart to Cairo.

On our arrival we transfer to Giza and check in at the hotel. We're back home!

Dinner on your own. Free time.
Overnight Giza. Oasis Hotel Pyramids.


Day 13. Friday, March 7. Dashour: Red and Bent Pyramids; Saqqara, with the Serapeum (B/L)






Dashour: The Red Pyramid, the Bent Pyramid; Saqqara: Saqqara Temple,
the "Hospital", the ancient boxes in the Serapeum

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 Mark will facilitate a Group Meditation 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.

As we make our way through this amazing area, focus to receive the ancient energies into your heart,
through your mind, in the way of the ancient ones who lived here in the past who believed the mind was in the heart.

1:00PM Group Lunch at restaurant near Saqqara

2:00PM Visit to Saqqara, with an entrance to the Serapeum
After lunch we're off 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.

The most famous part of the site is the Step Pyramid,
traditionally believed to have been constructed about 2630 BCE by Imhotep,
architect to King Djoser (Dynasty III). We will hear from our Egyptologist why some experts
believe this to be the world's oldest freestanding stone structure.
Andrea and Mark will share theories that refute this, to give us a different point of view of the history.

We'll also have the auspicious opportunity to visit the 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 our last six journeys!),
we'll have time for meditation on your own among these ancient stone boxes and their very amazing energy.

Return to the hotel. Dinner on your own.
Overnight Giza. Oasis Hotel Pyramids.

5:00PM PRIVATE ENTRANCE into the Great Pyramid
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.
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 Mark 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, 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:

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

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

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 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

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

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
