Mystic
Drums of the Nile - We will open our
spiritual program of Egypt with a meditation on board
a felucca on the Nile River. A Nubian drummer will join
us and play the steady, monotonous and hypnotic beat
of the Nile while we slowly drift down the great African
river at sunset. Drumming for meditation has its roots
in prehistoric times and we will use this simple technique
to enter into a light meditative state of mind. Afterwards
we will connect with the Isiac mysteries through a visually
guided purification meditation.
Dawn
Rites At The Temple of Isis - We will
arrange private access to the Temple of Isis where we
will have the entire temple complex to ourselves at
sunrise. Here we will do rituals, ceremonies and meditation
related to the spiritual principles of Isis.
Sekhmet's
Sanctuary - At
Karnak we will take a detour off the beaten track, passing
five successive gateways until we arrive at an altar
outside a small temple. From here we pass through two
more doorways and step into a dark chamber that houses
the mysterious statue of the lioness goddess Sekhmet.
There is an otherworldly feel to this statue and many
spiritual travellers have profound experiences inside
this chamber. We will spend some time meditating inside
this small mystical chamber.
Walk
of Silence at Luxor Temple
- Luxor Temple is one of the
grand constructions of ancient Egypt. Its builders were
masters of sacred science, a discipline that was based
on a complete and precise understanding of universal
laws. And it was here at Luxor Temple that symbolist
RA Schwaller de Lubicz developed his revolutionary theory
that the temple conceal an ancient teaching about the
metaphysical anatomy of man and that the temple was
built according to the creation of man and his spiritual
development and destiny. To put his teachings to a test
we will shift our awareness to a place outside of ourselves
while we wander like tiny creatures between the huge
statues into the vastness of the temple with its skewed
axis moving and floating around us. The moment we feel
like we are inside a living, breathing being, that is
when we have made contact with the universal principles
that rests within this amazing temple.
Equinox
Rebirth Meditation inside the Great Pyramid -
We will arrange private time for our group to be inside
the pyramid alone to participate in an awe-inspiring
rebirth ceremony. For most people this is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. We will ascend this ancient monument step
by step, climbing up to the the Queens Chamber which
is associated with Isis the archetypal principle of
divine love. Inside this ancient chamber there are two
mysterious shafts pointing into the heavens. The southern
shaft is aligned with the star Sirius - a star that
is associated with Isis and the northern shaft is aligned
to the constellation Ursa Minor associated with Upuaut
a Jackal-headed god known as the "Opener of the
Ways". The mythological associations connected
with the Queens Chamber gives rise to the concept of
spiritual birth and we will begin our rebirth meditation
here. Afterwards we climb up some more steps to the
Kings Chamber where we will complete our rebirth ceremony.
Sunset
Camel Ride at Giza - Just before
sunset we will mount our camel and ride into the desert
to a site overlooking the pyramids. From here we can
marvel at the sight of the pyramids being bathed in
hues of gold, red and orange, then we proceed with a
silent meditation; allowing the vision before us to
draw us inward and move us to reflection.

Highlights - enjoy
a 4-day deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. We will
visit the temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo, Dendera, Abydos,
Luxor Temple, Hatshepsuts Temple and Medinet Habu. We
