The Sound of L O V E Journey
Our 8-day journey is truly a pilgrimage deep into our own hearts as we navigate our way with special guidance by expert Egyptologists through some of the greatest temples ever conceived.
Our journey begins in Cairo expanding our intuition and connecting with the energy of Egypt with a private ceremony inside the Great Pyramid. We then travel to Aswan and set 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 Dendera Temple- home of Hathor in ritual & ceremony for the Goddess of Love & Motherhood.
A special and rare opportunity- Our retreat offers private access to some of the most beautiful temples including the Great Pyramid.

-
November 6th
Morning of GuanJing flow, daytime visit to the Plateau & evening Private Access to the Great Pyramids.
The Great Pyramids of Egypt are enduring symbols of ancient craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Built over 8,500 years ago, these massive structures were designed as royal tombs, showcasing the precision and ambition of the civilization that created them.
Standing tall against the desert landscape, they continue to inspire awe and curiosity, connecting us to a distant past.

November 7th
Flight to Aswan, lunch in the Nubian Village, visit to Mermaid Island, and check-in to the Magdalena boat.

November 8th
Sunrise we travel by boat to the Isis Gate, visit to Isis Temple, and sailing on the Nile. 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.

November 9th
Morning visit to Al-Kab known as the tiny Hathor Temple. We cross the lock and visit Esna in the afternoon- the temple of Magic.
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.
-
Nov 10th
Hatshepsut Temple at 6 AM, visit to Hathor Temple, and afternoon at Karnak to visit Sekhmet.
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.

Daily Sample Schedule
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.
-
Once arriving in Cairo, you will buy yourself a Visa, 25 US Dollars before customs at the red stands opposite customs line that say " Banque Mister" They accept USD and card.

For Egypt there are two associated plug types C and F. Plug type C is the plug which has two round pins and plug type F is the plug which has two round pins with two earth clips on the side. Egypt operates on a 220V supply voltage and 50Hz.
We suggest buying an universal adapter & voltage converter.
