If you want to deep-dive into an immersive experience, then join us for a limited add-on journey, an additional 7 days in Egypt prior to the main trip to find connection, purification, and communion under the moon in the white desert oasis.
In 2019 we went to Egypt to explore the expansive rememberances of our souls...
It was a lush and vibrant initiation into the Egyptian Mysteries. The Gods and Goddesses and archetypes of Becoming. The tales of the Priests and Priestesses, and the explorations of man and woman embodying these archetypes and sacred stories of love, life, creation, and spirit.
We are called back this year to bring a group of fellow travelers of the soul arts.
Is this you? Have you been called to remember the mysteries, wisdom, and gifts within?
If so, we invite you to join us in communing with the land, Gods, and Goddesses of ancient Egypt to birth more inspiration, purpose, meaning and magic into your soul's journey.
Love,
Lauren and Russell
As we take our spiritual sojourn into Egypt, the land, Gods, Goddesses, Priests, Priestesses, Kings, and Queens all have wisdom to share with you.
Their transmissions offer you divine insight to help activate your own gifts within.
When we first discovered Egyptology and the Egyptian Mysteries, we were exploring our spirituality. The Egyptian book of the Dead and the Story of Isis and Osiris epitomized a great soul activation for us.
They are a beloved king and queen ruling over the land in times of plenty.
They were a loving God and goddess and were said to be protectors of the land of Egypt when their brother Seth killed Osiris, dismembering his parts and hiding them across Egypt.
It was Isis’ love, mourning, grief, and magic that constellated him back together, bringing him back into wholeness.
This idea of our remembering of our wholeness is what is prompting this trip; Osiris was cut into 14 pieces, and Isis remembered him except for one key piece, his creative power, his phallus.
But through her love, she breathed life into him and impregnated herself with their son Horus, who would later go on to avenge his father's death and commemorate his place as God of the afterlife.
Over 14 days, we will travel through Egypt, remembering ourselves coming into wholeness and activating the great mysteries of the land.
If Egypt and it's mysteries, myths, stories, and legends have stirred your soul, we invite you to come along.
We can't tell you how many “We've been here before moments” we had as we traveled. We can't tell you how many dreams, visions, and awareness of our magical powers we experienced through our shamanic journey.
We will be exploring the archetypes of king and queen, of God and goddess, of priest and priestess, and of man and woman.
We will have a master Egyptologist with us who is a deeply mystical man.
And we'll explain how these stories of Egypt affected their people and discover what they can teach us today.
These holy sites have had people traverse them to pray, to make offerings, and to receive spiritual gifts for thousands and thousands of years.
The place and the land hold the energy of that.
We will be going to tap in, make our offerings, and receive.
And we invite you to join us.
Discover soul activations of past lifetimes from the land and the mysteries of Egypt.
Receive access to deeper embodiment of archetypical energies.
Be inspired as you discover new parts of yourself.
Learn about the deities of Egypt and early Christianity.
Foster a deep understanding of the Egyptian Mysteries.
Remember your wholeness.
