YOGA, MEDITATION & ACTIVATION WITHIN THIS ANCIENT & MYSTICAL LAND
Join a journey beyond the ordinary, where ancient echoes of Egypt converge with the modern times. We embark on a soul-stirring journey through the sacred landscapes and megaliths Egypt has to offer; inviting you to remember the ancient wisdom impregnated here.
Throughout the 11-day expedition through many of Egypt’s important historical sites, you’ll have the opportunity to practise embodied yoga and meditation sessions especially curated for this journey.
Draw on the resonance of the yoga practice as a physical prayer, unlock energetic pathways of knowledge held within, echoing through energy imprints within the land yet from another time.
Learn alchemical tools of transformation that are embodied in Integrated Kundalini Yoga and explore the significant spiritual power points amidst the ancient wonders.
Together, we’ll walk the paths of the pharaohs, unlock the hidden energy of sacred spaces, and explore the beauty of this enigmatic land. Prepare to let your Indiana Jones spirit roam free and trust that the magic of Egypt will unfold in mysterious ways.
Itinerary
We will explore…
• How did the ancient Egyptians see the world?
• What are the nine bodies of a human being and our possibilities for spiritual evolution?
• How did the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic language shape consciousness?
• Who are the Neters, and how do they shape our understanding of spirituality today?
Each day we will inquire into such questions together as we explore this ancient culture.
Discover the ancient knowledge that is perhaps resurfacing both within you and within Egypt herself and allow this to guide you on your own spiritual Journey.

After Breakfast we begin a day of exploring pyramids, first Meidum, a straight sided pyramid and then on to Dashur to see the Red and Bent Pyramids. If time permits we will visit the National Museum of Egyptian Civilisation in the afternoon. Returning to the hotel in the evening we close before dinner with an integration meditation after a day filled with the awe-inspiring wisdom keepers’ ancient structures.
Day 3 : Sakkara
We will arrive early to miss the crowds at Sakkara, the masterpiece of the polymath Imhotep, visit the Pyramid of Unes and the beautifully carved pyramid texts before venturing deep inside the Step Pyramid. We will walk through the ancient Serapeum, explore the tombs of Teti and Mereruka, visit the mysterious niches inside the chapel alcoves and much more. Acoustics and spirit doors will be some of the topics for discussion.
Onwards to the Cairo Museum we will examine many of the out of place artefacts, such as the precision cut granite vessels found at Sakkara and marvel at the perfectly sculpted statue of Khafre.
Day 4 : The Great Pyramid and Sphinx
Our last day in Cairo includes an early visit to the Giza Plateau. We will journey inside Menkaure’s Pyramid, explore the adjacent temple, the Valley Temple and The Great Sphinx.
In the afternoon we will visit the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) with 12 new galleries only recently opened to the public.
In the evening with the crowds having dispersed we will return to The Great Pyramid to follow the footsteps of the initiates of old and have our own experience inside the inner chambers as part of a once in a lifetime special access visit.
Day 5 : Travel to Luxor
We rise early to take our private coach from Cairo to Luxor and settle in. This is a day to relax and enjoy the passing scenery. We’ll make stops along the way for refreshments and to stretch our legs. Evening yoga overlooking the Nile will ground us, we have a full week ahead.
Day 6 : Edfu and Esna
Edfu, the temple of Horus is situated on a very powerful energy centre and one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. We will take our time soaking up the presence and spirit of the place before heading back via Esna. Although we only have access to the hypostyle hall the recently restored ceiling rivals the Sistine Chapel and is full of astronomical and astrological images. The colours are breathtaking and time stands still as you gaze upwards.
Day 7 : Karnak
Karnak is one of the largest temple complexes in the world and a central hub where multiple earth energies cross. We will visit these special power spots and create space for you to have your own experience with the timeless Neters. Although we could spend a week at Karnak, after a full day we will make our way back by boat to experience the Nile.
Day 8 : Dendera
We will spend the day at Dendera connecting with the feminine energy of Hathor, gaze up at the beautifully painted astronomical ceiling and explore underground crypts and the roof.
Day 9 : Nefertiti's Tomb, Medinet Habu and Isis
Nefertari’s tomb is stunning with vibrant colourful hieroglyphs seemingly freshly painted. We will get there early in the morning before visiting two special temples, often overlooked by travellers, Medinet Habu and a little known temple of Isis, which we will have to ourselves and time to connect to her.
Day 10 : Abydos and the Osireion
A very early start we will drive to Abydos to soak up the special atmosphere of an ancient pilgrimage centre. If the stars align we will visit the Osireion, one of the most sacred sites in Egypt which is closed to the public. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience something very special. We will reflect on the life of Dorothy Eady, a remarkable English woman who learned hieroglyphics as a young girl from none other than Wallis Budge himself and made Egypt and in particular Abydos her home. Her strong connection was rooted in a past life experience of being a priestess at Abydos three thousand years earlier.
Day 11 : Luxor and the West Bank
The final day includes a morning visit before the crowds arrive at Luxor The Temple of Man, made famous by Schwaller De Lubicz and John Anthony West.
We have some flexibility on the last day and can visit Deir el-Bahari the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the Luxor Museum and perhaps some shopping at the Bazaar. After our last Yoga and meditation session we close with a celebratory dinner together.
With your body, mind, and spirit fully immersed in Egypt’s ancient wisdom, you’ll leave transformed, with the energies of this sacred land forever imprinted on your soul.
This journey isn’t just a retreat; it’s an invitation to tap into these ancient currents, to activate your essence, and to awaken amidst the echoes of a timeless land. Allowing the energy of the past to converge with the present..

Retreat Leaders
Ashley Jones
With almost 20 years of guiding transformative groups and drawing from a wealth of disciplines, her mission is to lead others to their inner well of knowledge and personal power for the greater good for self and the collective. She is wholly committed to anchoring the light available to all in these transformative times we are living.

Magnus Robinson
Magnus is more at home in nature, dowsing ancient sites or reading books on ancient Egypt and has always had an ambivalent relationship with the modern world. He studied History at university and later studied with native wisdom keepers from Egypt and New Zealand. Experiencing the dissonance between the academic perspective and those who live an ancient tradition has shaped his world view. He is convinced that now more than ever we need to reawaken in ourselves the wisdom of the ancients.
Magnus has a regular practice of Egyptian breath work and postures, which are hardly known outside of Egypt, and has been meditating for over 17 years.
Magnus will help you to understand the symbolic meaning of some of the hieroglyphs, starting with your name and how the ancient Egyptians understood the world, the nature of human beings and our potential for transformation. He will be demonstrating some of the Egyptian physical practices such as breathing exercises for the twelve senses.
