Sacred Sites Journeys

Imagine yourself traveling to distant lands and ancient sites where the veils between worlds are thin and the heart opens with joyful memory...
A whisper so soft yet so compelling catches your attention, 
calling you to awaken your spirit of adventure 
and answer your longing to reconnect with places 
you vaguely remember ...as though experienced in a distant dream.

‘Remembering Union Egypt 2020’

October 26th – November 8th 2020

Is your heart calling you to join us in October for our 

‘Remembering Union 2020’ tour? 

‘Remembering Union 2020’ is designed to take us deeper into awakening our hearts and minds, and stirring ancient memories in our DNA as we journey through ancient temples and portals.  Our sacred tour takes us from the Sphinx and Pyramids of Cairo to the beautiful coast of Marsa Matrouh, to Siwa, a remote Oasis, and on to so much more. Soak in the magic of sleeping under the stars in the Great Sand Sea as we celebrate our union with beloved Gaia and the Heavens; as we join with all those who have walked before us, and with those who are with us now.

Connect with the harmony and balance of ancient Egyptian culture, which many current researchers are describing as being one of the most advanced civilizations on our planet in 10,500 BC, during our last golden age.  The union between the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine was honored and upheld as a foundation for their civilization at that time.

Connecting with these memories helps ignite the spark of light within us; that our loving presence in turn may work synergistically with earth’s meridian points in these power spots to fuel the global grid with more light; with the remembrance of Love. The sequence of places along our journey is chosen specifically to nurture and support a transformational experience for all!  The Ancients foretold the time we are in now as a ‘time of no time’, a shift in global consciousness that would awaken us to our true potential, to living in peace, in union.  We are dedicated to joining with you in serving this purpose.

Science Meets Ancient Wisdom Scientists have revealed the potent influence of earth’s relationship in the cosmos on our state of consciousness. Our solar system revolves around the galaxy one full rotation over  approximately 26,000 years time.  It has been recognized that as we move closer to the ‘photon band’, a high vibrational band of energy that is emitted from the galaxy’s center, we enter an age of enlightenment. As we move further from this center, there is a dimming of light in our consciousness, a slipping into forgetfulness of who we are, of our oneness.  Earth’s time directly within this band of energy lasts around 2,000 years. This occurs twice during a full rotation ‘galactic year’, approximately every 11,000 years.  There has been evidence (see the documentary series ‘The Pyramid Code’) that many of the pyramids were constructed specifically as powerful energy field generators in an attempt to support the population in sustaining higher levels of consciousness during our last transition away from the photon band.  It didn’t work that way. It wasn’t enough to alter what was apparently meant to be experienced as a time of intense ‘growing pains’ in our human experience.  

Pyramids as Power Generators:  The pyramids and other power spots we will be visiting still generate high vibrational energies that assist in shifting consciousness.  At this time Earth is in the influence of the photon band, which is pushing a rapid evolution in our consciousness and a shift in our DNA.  Ancients also predicted that the time we are now in was not to be ‘just another cycle’; rather a time of unprecedented mass global awakening.  Our vision for the Remembering Union 2020 tour is to enhance our inner awakening through the synergy of cosmic and earth grid connections.

The 2020 Egypt Tour will integrate sound, light and the use of vortex energy fields to support harmonious shifts, guided meditations and sacred ceremonies; time for personal integration and joyful experiences together. Our last tour was powerfully transformative and wonderfully bonding as a group.  This year’s journey holds promise of taking us there and beyond…

A Couple Highlights Among the Many Treasures of Our Tour:  Together we will explore the mystery of Siwa, this remote Oasis in the Western Desert, home of the Amazigh People, the Noble Men, the place, where the Pharaohs of Egypt were initiated before the takeover of the Priesthood, when consciousness took its due course into a cycle of ‘darkness’.

Our journey will also lead us to Nubia, the Land Of Queens, where the Queens of Egypt were initiated during a time when Divine Union still reigned brightly. Opening our hearts to the equanimity of the divine masculine and divine feminine essence, we will awaken these vibrations within ourselves.  With this we join in activating a healing of the imbalance that ensued during thousands of years in our ‘slumber period’; and celebrate the birthing of a new Earth together.

ITINERARY

Kriszta shares some personal insights throughout the following itinerary.  These are based on the many experiences she has had intuitively and otherwise over years of leading tours in this area.

Optional extensions of this tour include: 

·    Early Arrival – Oct 23, 24, 25 nights in Cairo visiting the Cairo Museum, Dashour Pyramids and Sakkara.  See details below itinerary.

·    Tour’s End Extra- Nov 8th.  One more day and night enjoying the beauty of Priestess Island, an afternoon and evening immersed in Nubian culture.  See details below itinerary.

TOUR BEGINS

26th October - Arrival in Cairo and transfer to the hotel; group meeting at dinner

27th October –  Opening ceremony at sunrise between the paws of the Sphinx, Lady Tefnut, the guardian of the Heart Temple of Egypt. After breakfast we will start our journey towards the North Coast of Egypt, where we will spend the night on the beautiful coast at Marsa Matrouh.

28th October – After breakfast we will soak in the wild beauty of Cleopatra Beach in Marsa Matrouh, where there are two magical rock formations in the turquoise water of the Mediterrenean sea. One of them forms a crowned woman, the other one a man approaching her in full glory. We will meditate here, connecting with the elements and honoring the memories of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, and all those who started their intitiation journey from here before.  As we each move through a meditation-walk on the rocks and in the water, we can connect with our heart-wisdom for this journey  and offer our intentions with a blessing.

Our group arrives at Siwa in early afternoon, and we’ll will visit the Siwa House, which is the local museum project showing the traditional lifestyle of the Amazigh people. After checking into our hotel, and before sunset we will climb to Shali, the old city of Siwan people. Before dinner there will be some free time to discover the many shops offering Siwan handmade treasures; and of course the famous Siwan dates and olive oil. We’ll meet for dinner.

29-30th  October -  After breakfast in the hotel we embark on an exciting desert exploration in jeeps driven by experienced Siwan guides.  As we traverse the endless dunes we will enjoy the breathtaking spaciousness of the Great Sand Sea, which is the third largest dune field of the World.  Siwa is the northern gate of it. 

We will spend 2 days in the desert. Our adventure includes riding through the dunes and climbing the mountains formed from sand, formations recognized as remains of an ancient sea floor; echoes of a time when all this was under water.  We’ll bath in the natural hot and cold waters of crystalline pools in the desert, enjoy a traditional lunch and savor the magnificent colors of a desert sunset while sipping some famous Siwan tea.  Following a guided Egyptian Pharaohs' Initiation Journey, we will move through four Elemental Journeys to connect with the wisdom of air, water, fire and earth.. The night will be spent in a Siwan Desert Camp, under starlit skies. Note: Those who would prefer to sleep in our hotel will be given that option.

Our two day trip in the Sahara will conclude with climbing the sacred mountain of Siwa, Adrere Amalel (the White Mountain). This is not an ordinary experience and can be physically challenging for some. Everyone can choose whether they wish to climb at all, and if so, how far.  The mountain welcomes us ‘where we are’ and no one is pushed beyond their comfort.  Our climbing Adrere Amalel will be done with ritual and taking our time ascending and descending.

31st  October ­­- After breakfast there will be some free time.  The women in our group will have the option to spend time with the women of Siwa in a local home. After this we will enjoy the turquoise detoxifying water of the Siwan Salt Mines followed by soaking in the waters of the Cleopatra Bath.  There we will also have free time to experience the local shops and try the wonderful fresh juices of the café.

Before sunset we do the initiation of the fifth element, Love, in the Oracle Temple.

The Siwan Oracle Temple was as famed in its day as the Oracle Temple of Delphi or Dodona. Alexander the Great received a life-changing message from the Oracle Priestesses here. He was proclaimed by them as the Son of the Sun God, and this made him the Pharaoh of Egypt. Of course there was a lot more to his message from the Oracle and his initiation journey continued here for many days and nights, he was tested by the priestesses and the message was revealed when he was ready to rule from his Soul as a Sacred King. We will connect to the sacred space within us as we walk the maze of the Temple; perhaps connecting with divinely inspired messages from the Priestesses, whose presence may still be felt within this sanctuary.  We will join in a healing ritual in the Sanctuary of the Sanctuaries.

Evening – dinner at our hotel, group sharing and integration

1st November -  Free morning. Time to savor the richness of our journey.  The group will attend a Sufi ceremony in the afternoon.

2nd November – After breakfast we travel to the Mediterranean Sea, where we will stay in a beautiful hotel for relaxation, integration and a joyful experience on the coast.

3rd November – A day of enjoying the amazing beauty of the  Lemurian Coast of Egypt, opening our hearts and minds to inspiration   

4th November – After breakfast we travel to Alexandria where we will visit the remains of the ancient Alexandria Library; then take a bit of time in the New Library as well.

We journey to Cairo, where we will spend one night in a five star hotel, preparing for a sunrise visit of the Great Pyramid.

 5th November  –  An early morning private visit of the Great Pyramid. We will walk the three chambers of the Great Pyramid (only one of them can be visited in normal opening hours). This walk is a strong initiation process, in which we can release outdated patterns held within our subconscious minds, cleanse collective memories of ’imbalance connected with the misuse of power’; bring mind, heart and spirit into alignment when we reach the King’s Chamber.  We will join in a powerful group experience to open hearts and minds to love.  Through this initiation we are supported in reconnecting with the ’Real ’ Us.

After this powerful experience we’ll enjoy a nourishing breakfast, then catch our flight to Aswan.

Afternoon:  A visit to the Nubian temple of Kalabsha, where we will immerse ourselves in the feminine essence that is palpable in the Land of Queens.  This will prepare us for our trip to Abu Simbel the next day. After the temple visit we check in to the hotel on the Priestess Island and will have dinner there.

6th November – Early morning, after breakfast we start our bus journey to visit the Temples of Abu Simbel. The official theory calls them mortuary temples built by Ramses II, with the larger one dedicated to himself and the smaller one to his ’Great Wife, Nefertari’. We will start with visiting the smaller temple dedicated to Nefertari-Hathor.  To me, this temple once held the Mystery School of Hathor.  This is where Hathor’s priestesses were trained and where the Great Queens of Egypt were initiated. This is the land of Nubia, which was always sacred to Hathor long  before the temples of Ramses II were built.

We will finish with visiting the bigger temple, dedicated to Ramses II in his enlightened form. The temple feels as though it was likely a healing place where priestesses of Hathor met to heal the ’separation from the Soul’, which was experienced as a result of the rising dominance of a patriarchal world.

7th November – We will join for a powerful ceremony in the Isis Temple of Philae at sunrise. This Temple is where Divine Union was celebrated between the initiated Pharaoh and Queen.  The Sacred Masculine and Sacred Feminine will be honored as the eternal template of creation...within us and as part of all that exists.  Each of us will have an opportunity to go within and connect on a personal level with this knowledge held deeply in our DNA. 

At sunset we will have our last dinner in the Old Cataract Hotel and then return to the Temple... this time to the gate through which priestesses would enter the Isis temple. This is an ideal place for us to join in our journey’s closing ceremony.

8th November – Transfer to the airport to fly home. 

Extension Option:  Stay one more day and night to enjoy the rich beauty of Priestess Island and experience the warm hearts and colorful culture of  the locals.  Further details below.

Front End of Trip Cairo extension:

23rd October – Arrival at Cairo, transfer to the hotel

24th October – Free day to relax after the long journey, or optional visit to the Egyptian Museum, followed by ceremonial dress shopping

25th October – Sakkara and Serapeum

Our journey starts in the Healing Temple of the Sakkara Pyramid, where we will walk through the Mirror Gate, the Hall of Prayers, and the Courtyard of the Cobras.  Standing in the Healing Room, the archetypal ’ Healer’ energy can be palpable, as the vibrations still echo strongly in the space. In fact, you can hear tones still resonating in alcove along the wall.

This day will be brought to completion in the powerful inner space of the Serapeum, between 24 huge granite and bazalt sarchophagi (each one between 70-100 tons). According to the official theory they are  tombs of the Apis Bulls, said to be incarnations of the ancient Egyptian deity, Ptah. This is but one conventional theory.  What I can say from experience, is that the energy and every aspect of this whole place is mind-blowing!  You can really feel the connection to our ancestors in the Stars and also sense that the huge sarcophagi are likely portals to connect with other worlds.  Erina: ”ditto to what Kriszta shared... this place is something else!”

26th October  - Dahshour

A visit to the pyramids of Dahshour. Two of these pyramids are said to have been built by Pharaoh Sneferu, whose name means ’double harmony’.  See and feel for yourself the energy of each of the pyramids we visit. Conventional theories regarding the pyramids’ primary purpose to be serving as ’tombs’ is quite limited and does not hold up well when a more expanded view and personal experience is explored. 

Tour’s End Aswan Extension:

8th November  Enjoy a free morning in the peace and beauty of the Priestess Island. Around noon transfer to the Nubian village, where you will have a light lunch. After this there is free time to discover the colorful Nubian houses and many shops.

 About Your Journey Facilitators:

 Erina Cowan is an Author, Teacher and Facilitator of Awakening Hearts and Minds

She is skilled in multidimensional work with energy; shifting patterns on the level of mind to open the heart. Through this she assists others in awakening to their life’s purpose and passion. Erina integrates metaphysical and scientific approaches to working with energy fields. She is co-author of ‘Dowsing Beyond Duality’ (RWW 2012), co-founder and Trainer of 'Mind Field Repatterning'tm.  Erina’s love of travel and joining others who are devoted to awakening the ‘Sacred’ within is birthing a new phase of her work.  There are certain ‘power’ places at different points on earth’s grid that can assist us in awakening Love’s memory in our DNA… and so, the journey continues!

Erina:

"I have been traveling my life’s journey in search of truth; in the quest of remembering love, which is our very essence. This exploration has taken me through the blessings of motherhood, a loving union with my beloved partner David, and decades of philosophical studies and spiritual paths. My life path has led me through serving in traditional western and alternative healing practices. My work embraces mind-heart connection, spiritual awakening and the sacred marriage of the feminine and masculine. The divinely feminine essence arises as a field of pure potential…where inspiration is received and desire initiates creative impulses. The divinely masculine essence joins, transforming inspiration into manifestation. The eternal cycle of life continues. This 'Divine Union' is inherent in each of us; is in fact, our natural state of Being.  Over thousands of years we have cultivated a false belief in separation and great suffering has resulted.  A call to awaken from this illusion is now upon us. 

I dedicate my work to this awakening and join with you in celebrating union."

Kriszta Veres is a healer, priestess, spiritual teacher and a writer of Soul-novels.  She was born in Hungary and worked for many years in tourism in her home country but a journey to Egypt in 2003 opened her spiritual path and changed her life forever.

Kriszta trained in Glastonbury with Kathy Jones and was initiated as a Priestess of Avalon. Parallel with her training she had started to dig into the memories of the people of the Carpathian Basin, starting on her path toward discovering the Goddess world of Old Europe, the ‘peaceful Neolithic culture of the Danube Valley’, a term coined by Maria Gimbutas. Her journey led her into researching the ‘Wheel of the Year’ used by the different people living in the Carpathian Basin from the Stone Age until the arrival of the Hungarian tribes. She initiated and held the space of the Hungarian Goddess Temple in Budapest, organized Goddess Festivals in Hungary and taught ceremonial workshops in Hungary,Cyprus, the U.K. and Portugal.

In 2010 Kriszta was hesitant to return to Egypt as she was fulfilled with her life in Hungary. However, while on one of her visits to Egypt she started doing healing work with the local community of women and men.  Her bond with the land of Egypt was reawakened. The hesitation was replaced by a love-story and at the end of 2010 she felt that this land had called her back. She moved to Egypt after the Egyptian revolution in 2011 and has been living there since. She then married the love of her life, an adoring Egyptian man.

Her path became more focused on Oneness and finding the Divine presence everywhere in all the paths. She has been delving into Islam for a few years and is especially drawn to Sufism and Rumi.

Kriszta is on a constant journey of remembering the ancient mysteries of Egypt, visiting the sacred places regularly, alone and with her groups. Her love with Ancient­­ and modern Egypt has become a devotion.  She loves taking visitors ‘behind the normal tourist roads’, and likes to show them the “real” Egypt. On her trips she is a channel to the energy of the temples and ancient sites and she holds a sacred space for people to assist them in having a strong energetic and enriched Soul experience in Egypt.
