The Magic of Egypt
SACRED LAND, SACRED WATER

AND PERCEIVED THE NILE AS THE EARTHLY MIRROR OF THE MILKY WAY,
The Celestial River.

and sail upon this Celestial river to align with Divine Feminine energy.
We will learn ancient Tantric and Anointing Practices to awaken and activate our sacred sensual, sexual, and emotional centers so that we can find more love, joy, passion and connection in life.
And equally important, there will be great fun, laughter, and friendship on this journey of the Soul.
IN ADDITION
YOU WILL HAVE THE EXQUISITE EXPERIENCE OF
A Couple’s Energy Work Session
WITH MASTER ENERGY TEACHER
Tj Bartel.
Using powerful energy practices he has honed over almost two decades of working with clients, Tj has developed his signature Life-Force Energetic Alignment Protocol (LEAP) Sessions.
In your couples session, you and your beloved will be invited to release sub-optimal energetic habits and old, stale, stuck energy, allowing for fresh energy to flow more optimally in your system.
Tj will meet with you and your beloved for a 15 minutes conversation to pinpoint the shift you each desire to more powerfully express and experience love. Then he will assist you in aligning with and activating your body's natural intelligence to reboot and invigorate your energy centers and upgrade your entire system so that your thoughts, words, and behaviors can be more conscious, mindful, loving, and productive.
As he works with your body's energy field, moving through each of the 7 body-based chakras and possibly the 8th non-body chakra, you’ll free stuck energy, balance over-expressed energy, and harmonize all the chakras in your system.
When the work is complete, you and your beloved will have a 15 minute integration period to allow your energy system to anchor its newly re-aligned settings before coming into contact with others.
Many participants reported that the work done in these sessions opened the door for deep ritual healing on the trip to take place. Others found that the sacred rituals opened a path for the energy work to provide deep healing.
Either way, it's a potent combination that is sure to support you in bringing forth…
Your Next Level of Transformation.
The 2023 Tour Itinerary

DAY 1
Arrive in Cairo / Transfer to Aswan
(Dinner)
Friday, Feb.17 - Arrive in Cairo by 12 Noon. (If at all possible we encourage you to come a day early)
You will be greeted at Cairo International Airport. We will all transfer as a group on a short flight to Aswan. We will overnight at the beautiful Movenpick Hotel and Resort on the banks of the Nile River. If you can come in a day or two early, we can arrange for additional room nights to enjoy this gorgeous hotel!
The tour begins the evening of Friday, February 17 at our Welcome Dinner with Rima and Tj where we will set our intentions for this sacred pilgrimage.
(Please keep in mind that you may need to leave your country on Thursday, Feb. 16th to arrive in Cairo on Friday, February 17th)
DAY 2
Transfer to our Dahabeya / Tantra Workshop
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Saturday, February 18th
We begin our day with breakfast on the terrace and then transfer to our floating temple where we will spend 6 luxurious nights sailing on the peaceful Nile River. After lunch aboard, we will gather for world-class Tantra training with expert Tantra Master Tj Bartel. You will learn the keys to awakening your natural sexual life force energy and how that energy can enhance your physical health as well as inspire more passion in your relationship. We will work with the keys throughout our journey so that you go home with a powerful set of tools to up-level the romance and connection with your beloved.
DAY 3
Isis’ Temple at Philae
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Sunday, February 19th
One of the most sacred moments of the trip is the pre-dawn journey by motorboat to the island of Philae Temple consecrated to Isis, Egypt’s Divine Mother. We will enjoy a private and exclusive visit for 2 hours on this holy land.
Walking through the expansive courtyard into the Holy of Holies is a profound experience. We will settle into the deepest part of this temple in the dark and connect in with the sacred energy of the lineage of Isis.
After a potent ceremony we will have ample time here to experience the healing energy of Isis and her lovely island complex and enjoy the sunrise.
This isle represents a fusion of three great civilizations: Egyptian, Greek and Roman. At Philae, you may feel a connection to the Great Cosmic Mother, to the power of creation, and to Egyptian magic.
We will return to our Dahabeya for more energy sessions and time to relax. We will also gather in circle to continue our Tantric training.
Later in the day we will have the opportunity to enjoy shopping at the market at Aswan, as well as visit several craft shops for beautiful and sacred pieces.
DAYS 4 and 5
Sail the Mother Nile, Visit Komobo and Edfu Temples
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Monday, February 20 - Tuesday, February 21
Enjoy the relaxing feeling of being carried along the beautiful deep blue waters of the Nile river. We will stop to visit the temple at Kom Ombo, the only dual temple in Egypt. The Healing Temple of Kom Ombo is a glorious, picturesque ruin along the Banks of the Nile. This dramatic temple, poised between the edge of the river and the encroaching desert sand, was dedicated to two gods – Sobek the crocodile god of strength, fortitude, fertility and rebirth, and Horus the Hawk-headed son of Isis and Osiris.
Our next stop will be Edfu Temple, dedicated to Horus, the Falcon God, the best-preserved temple of the Ancient World, and one of the most beautifully preserved in Egypt. When you approach the well–preserved temple complex, you become aware of its enormous dimensions, with a vast courtyard, a forest of towering columns and high ceilings. The side chambers of the temple of Horus show the complexity of ancient rites; they include a healing chamber, a perfumery, and singers’ rooms. One chamber, called the House of Life, stored all of the sacred texts used in seasonal and daily rituals. Horus is associated with higher vision and clarity. This temple offers a deeper exploration of the Divine Masculine and Feminine qualities as they relate to the story of the Eye of Horus.
We enjoy time for relaxation and fun as we sail, as well as experience your couples LEAP session, and we will also continue to gather in circle to deepen our Tantric training.
DAY 6
Sailing to Esna & Luxor Temple
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Wednesday, February 22
Today we fully enjoy sailing the Nile, a laid-back day where we watch the farmers and countryside of Egypt, as we cross Esna Lock. This is one of the favorite days of most of our guests, as it is a day of idyllic sailing from a time gone by.
When we reach Luxor, we will moor the boat. In the evening under the stars, we will visit the Temple of Luxor. The large Ancient Egyptian Temple complex is located on the East Bank of the Nile River. Here we are able to see that this temple is built like a human body – the outer layers represent the feet and as we move deeper into the temple, we make our way towards the head, where the Holy of Holies, the inner sanctuary, is located. This is a wonderful place to focus on physical healing. As you walk through the body of this temple, notice how your body feels and re-member radiant health. Awaken the parts of you that are sleeping, activate divinity codes and turn on your inner light. Overnight on our Dahabeya moored on the Nile banks of Luxor.
DAY 7
Dendera Temple
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Friday, April 29
We will enjoy breakfast on our Dahabiya then enjoy a bus to journey through the Egyptian country-side to the exquisite Temple of Dendera, dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of abundance, love, Fertility, childbirth, joy, music dance, drunkenness and escorting souls through the afterlife.
The temple is built with a zodiac ceiling that recalls the origins of Egypt. This zodiac has a powerful connection with Sirius, as did the Egyptians, who recorded a second year based on the motion of the planet.
In the temple’s crypt, you will be transported to the realms beyond by the interesting hieroglyphics, which look nearly alien in nature. See the mysterious “light bulb” carvings that raise theories about ancient energy sources.
On the rooftop where Hathor priests and priestesses gathered for their celebrations thousands of years ago, we will reconnect to our heart centers in a heart opening chakra ceremony. We will also connect with Earth and Cosmic energies, using Love to amplify both and return them in gratitude.
DAY 8
Karnack Temple / Transfer to Cairo / Cairo Bazaar
(Breakfast / Dinner)
Wednesday, February 22
After breakfast, we will enjoy an early visit to the magnificent Karnak Temple.
Karnak is the biggest temple complex in Egypt – and an incredibly special place. It is dedicated to the Gods Amun and Mut. As you enter, you walk between a row of ram-headed sphinxes, which originally connected Karnak with Luxor Temple two miles away. Just beyond the gates is a magnificent hall of columns that will take your breath away. The sale of the construction in this temple is mind-boggling. The energy of devotion is palpable in the work of the ancient priests, architects, and builders.
Take some time to visit the sacred Lake of Karnak, ask for purification, and place your intention in your mind’s eye into the Lake.
Outside the main halls is a small chapel dedicated to Sekhmet, her consort Ptah and their son Nefertum. Sekhmet is the lioness Goddess of compassion and courage. She is associated with feminine fire and healing through destruction. She is a renowned healer and known for magic and the ability to hunt down an imbalance at its origin.
We will have a meditation and initiation with Sekhmet. This chapel and it’s glorious Sekhmet statue is one of the few medicine pieces in all of Egypt that remains in its consecrated place. We will also enjoy the shade under Hathor's sycamore tree, noted to be 2000 years old.
Following our visit will will transfer to the Luxor airport for our short flight to Cairo and check in to the Four Seasons Hotel for the last two nights of our pilgrimage.
In the evening, we will have the opportunity to go shopping at the Khan Khalili Bazaar. It is said to be the oldest and most well-known open-air market in the Middle East. The energy of this traditional market, together with the labyrinth layout of the streets gives you a glimpse into what medieval markets were like.
DAY 9
The Great Pyramid / Visit with Gamal Abdell
(Breakfast / Dinner)
Saturday, February 25
Early morning, we will have a Special Private Visit inside the Great Pyramid with a culminating initiation in the King's Chamber.
Here we unite our life story with the story of those who have come before us and those who will come after, as we embrace the transformation that we have experienced on this journey. Pay particular attention to the Sphinx and the Giza Plateau.
Listen closely as you hear the incredible sounds of the entire city being called to prayer. Feel the energy of the spirits…we are off to discover some of the most awesome Wonders of the World. Our guide, who is an encyclopedia of Egyptology, will give us detailed examinations of various controversial theories surrounding these amazing structures.
Following lunch we head to Giza for a potent afternoon with 5th generation alchemist Gamal Abdul. In his magical shop we will receive direct instruction from him on the chakra system and how this energy system can help or hamper our relationship.
We will gather in the evening for a beautiful farewell dinner to complete our experience and anchor in the activations and light codes we have received along our journey.
We will honor our new friendships, integrate new wisdom, and say thank you and goodbye to our beloved Egypt. Until next time!
DAY 10

TOUR LEADER
Dr. Rima Bonario
This is my fifth time leading a sacred journey to Egypt, and I can't wait to return. Helping people to discover and take action on their passions in life is one of my greatest joys. And this trip is super special because we are focusing on Sacred Union and bringing more love and more joy into our relationship with our beloved.
Having earned a doctorate in Transformational Psychology, I love to support people in creating lasting transformation by focusing within to connect with and be guided by their soul's knowings.
My passion is supporting women to awaken and amplify their sacred feminine sovereignty. I teach the underlying energy patterns that keep us stuck repeating old, hurtful life choices so that they can heal those hurts and craft a fulfilling, soulful, and loving relationships. My studies with master energy teachers, the ancient art of Tantra, years of shadow work and the art of transformational psychology serve as the foundation for my coaching and teaching approach.
I am the founder of Bloom Fine Egyptian Oils and I share the sacred art of anointing as a portal into deep transformation. Creating sacred ceremonies and rituals to heighten soul-level connection is one of my specialties.

Testimonials
I AM FOREVER CHANGED!
« This trip was more than just a vacation, it was a transformation.
I am birthing a whole new life for myself - one that is in deep alignment with my soul.
Thank you for such an inspiring and powerful journey! I feel on purpose like never before - even as I wait to see what form my new life takes I know it was my work in Egypt that created the opening for me to make these much needed changes. »
— Nicole Adams
A FRESH START!
« Thank you. I had no idea what to expect when I started on this adventure. I knew I wanted to address some old stuff I was ready to release.
This program did that and so much more for me. I am so grateful for the amazing way you and Tj gently guided me through all I needed to release.
I got clear on what I wanted. I have since sold my home and moved to the city where I always wanted to live! »
— Karen Kivimaki
THIS WORK WAS THE KEY I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW I WAS LOOKING FOR.
« It changed EVERYTHING, and I am not one to make sweeping claims. Since returning home I completed my book and it was accepted by the first publisher I sent it to! I have also woven this experience into the next octave of my sacred work in the world, updating my offerings and birthed an entirely new organization.
I wouldn't just 'recommend' this experience. I would say it is nothing short of a necessary soul requirement to reclaim our natural state of divine grace and magic.
Thank you. Thank you. This is how it is supposed to be. This is my natural state. »
— Stephanie Red Feather,Shamanic Coach
& Priestess Process Facilitator
