NOTE: OUR TOURS ARE ONLY ON DATES LISTED, NOT YEAR AROUND UNLESS YOU BOOK A CUSTOM TRIP WITH A MINIMUM OF 8-10 PEOPLE.
THE DATES FOR THIS JOURNEY ARE: December 3-13th, 2010
Egypt, Bridging Levels of Consciousness: December 3-13th, 2009.
During our journey we will dream our own spiritual transcendence just as the ancient initiates did thousands of years ago. As we walk within the footsteps of those before us with each step we come to know who we really are. We know our birthright and the divine consciousness that exists within us. On this spiritual journey we’ll have the opportunity to be in the presence of sacred space designed for the purpose of spiritual alignment and for bridging multiple levels of consciousness. Private time in the Great Pyramid and a Nile cruise will be highlights of this journey!
We’re blessed to have a knowledgeable Egyptologist who will accompany Sheri Rosenthal on our trip, and he’ll share 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 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 beautiful structures.
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 religion and devotion to an illuminated consciousness. When these ancient stones speak to us, whispering their mysteries and wonders, we will be ready.
