About the retreat trip Echoes of Eternity into Ancient Egypt
This special retreat is a journey to the ancient temples of Egypt, but more importantly, a journey within. The temples we visit are not just stone monuments; they are gateways to our inner world. They reflect our pain, our light, our wisdom, and our potential for growth. By experiencing these temples with intention and awareness, we will not only unravel their mysteries, but also the mysteries of our soul. This is a transformative journey where we do inner work to embody our light and release blockages.
Every day we start with an intention. This intention guides you in experiencing the temples, which will communicate with you and give you deeper insights. Through meditation, breathing exercises, activations and sharings we dive deeper and deeper into the process of transformation. In addition, when visiting the temples you will receive a ritual or a specific assignment that contributes to your growth and transformation process. As I already indicated, this is not just a journey, it is a profound retreat that will give your life a boost in the right direction.
