Wings of Isis
Nov 10th- Nov 18th 2025
Wings of Isis Journey
Our 9-day journey is truly a pilgrimage deep into our own souls as we navigate our way with special guidance by expert Egyptologists through some of the greatest temples ever conceived.
Our journey begins in Aswan as we sail down the Nile for 5 nights in a luxury Egyptian yacht known as a dahabiya.
This smooth boat ride along the vast terrain of Egypt will be our sanctuary where we host all workshops, ceremonies, and lots of play and dance.
We will be celebrating 11:11 with private Ceremony in Philae Temple- home of Isis in ritual & ceremony for the Goddess of Transformation.
A special and rare opportunity- Our retreat offers private access to some of the temples including the Great Pyramid.

November 11th
Sunrise we travel by boat to the Isis Temple for our private ceremony- the day of transformation and honoring the Divine Feminine.
Philae Temple, the enchanted island sanctuary of Isis, shimmers with the magic of love, resurrection, and divine mystery.
As the goddess of healing, sacred wisdom, and motherhood, Isis was the keeper of ancient secrets, the one who resurrected Osiris and birthed Horus, weaving the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
Veiled in mist and myth, Philae was a place of pilgrimage and initiation, where priestesses invoked Isis’s boundless power under moonlit skies.
Legends whisper that her presence lingers in the temple’s sacred chambers, offering protection, transformation, and the keys to hidden knowledge to those who seek her.
Enjoy breakfast, light lunch, and dinner. Sunset closes out with another ceremony at the Priestess Gate.

November 12th
Morning at Edfu, the Temple devoted to the God Horus.
Deep inside the temple lies the Naos, the holy of holies, where the divine statue of Horus once stood. It was believed that only the high priest could enter, performing secret rituals that connected the pharaoh to the divine.
Here we honor the Divine Masculine.

November 13th
We hop on board our luxury boat which will be our home for the next 5 days. Sailing to Esna for a temple visit.
Esna Temple, a hidden gem of celestial wisdom, is a portal of sacred knowledge and divine balance.
Dedicated to Khnum, the god who shaped life upon his potter’s wheel, this temple is adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and cosmic inscriptions, revealing ancient secrets of the universe.
Within its pillars, the goddess Neith, the weaver of fate, and the divine lioness Menhit whisper of creation, destiny, and transformation. The temple’s mysterious zodiac and sacred texts speak of the rhythms of the cosmos, inviting seekers to unlock the hidden wisdom encoded in the stars.
Stepping into Esna is like walking into a living manuscript of mystical energy, where the past, present, and future merge in divine harmony.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.

Nov 14th
Nestled against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, the Temple of Hatshepsut is a stunning masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture. Built over 3,000 years ago, this grand structure honors Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s few and most powerful female pharaohs. I
ts design, with elegant terraces and massive colonnades, was inspired by the surrounding natural landscape. Fun fact: Hatshepsut had herself depicted as a male pharaoh in statues and inscriptions to reinforce her rule!
Another intriguing detail? The temple once had lush gardens filled with exotic trees and plants brought from the mysterious Land of Punt.
Today, its impressive reliefs and towering pillars still tell stories of trade expeditions, divine lineage, and a queen who ruled like a king.
-
November 15th
Karnak Temple in the morning.
Karnak Temple, a colossal labyrinth of sacred power and cosmic energy, stands as the beating heart of ancient Egypt’s mysteries.
Among its towering pillars and hidden sanctuaries dwells Sekhmet, the lioness goddess of war, healing, and transformation.
Her shrine, veiled in shadows and fire, radiates an untamed force—a place where seekers come to awaken their inner strength, purge darkness, and be reborn through her fierce yet protective embrace.
It is said that those who stand before her black granite statue can feel her pulse of raw energy, a bridge between destruction and renewal.
Karnak is not just a temple—it is a gateway of power, where the spirit of Sekhmet still roars through time.

Sailing the Nile
Smooth ride through the River Nile on our Luxury Egyptian Dahabeya
Wake up to the peace of the flowing Nile. In the morning we have meditation along with tea, juice and coffee. There is an on board chef that cooks local cuisine tailored to any dietary need.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner are included along with a variety of fresh local fruits, veggies and desserts. Enjoy days of sailing to secret temples. In the afternoon movement workshops along with sound bathes. We end the evening with private musical concerts and Egyptian celebrations.
Essential to your experience of the history and culture of the Nile is that the dahabiya can moor in shallow water and this provides opportunities to visit sites the large cruises cannot access.
These stops unique to dahabiya sailing are your opportunity to meet local people and experience village life. The small number of guests on a dahabiya means more personalised visits to the ancient sites, and your guide is available to answer your questions throughout the tour.

It is wise to cover in loose layers.
In the hotels you can wear whatever you like.
In the market and at the temple space to show respect please be mindful of how tight and also how much skin you are showing.
Usually the rule of thumb is either expose a little chest, a little belly, or a little leg but never all three at once. Unless you want to get unwanted attention from the locals.
