If you love to get down to the nitty-gritty, keep reading.

THE EGYPTIANS SAW THEIR LAND AS A
Sacred Reflection of Heaven on Earth
AND PERCEIVED THE NILE AS THE EARTHLY MIRROR OF THE MILKY WAY,
The Celestial River.
Together they will support us to awaken and amplify our Soul connection to and from ancient Egypt. Are you curious about what messages, guidance, and insights you will receive?
While the experience is unique to each person, you can count on 10 days of relaxation, renewal, ritual, and re-alignment.
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 Private 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 session, you and Tj will check in with a 15-minute conversation to pinpoint the shift you desire to more powerfully live into your Mission. 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 you work with your body's energy field, moving through each of the 7 body-based chakras and possibly the 8th non-body chakra, you free stuck energy, balance over-expressed energy, and harmonize all the chakras in your system.
When the work is complete, you 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 will support you in bringing forth…
Your Next Level of Transformation.
The 2024 Tour Itinerary
April 22 - May 1, 2024
DAY 1
Cairo (Dinner)
Monday, April 22nd - Arrive in Cairo by 3 p.m. (If at all possible, we encourage you to come a day early)
You will be greeted at Cairo International Airport and escorted to Le Meridian Hotel across from the airport. At the hotel, you will be assisted for a smooth check-in. Then relax at the pool and schedule a spa treatment.
The tour begins with an evening welcome dinner, where we will set our intentions for this sacred pilgrimage.
(Please keep in mind that you may need to leave your country on Sunday, April 21st, to arrive in Cairo on Monday, April 22nd)
DAY 2
Fly to Aswan and Transfer to our Sailing Vessel
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Tuesday, April 23
After Breakfast, we transfer to Cairo Airport for a short flight to Aswan. Here we will settle in on the boat and enjoy exploring Aswan. We will end the day with a night circle.
DAY 3
Isis’ Temple at Philae
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Wednesday, April 24
Our first of many 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. 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 Dahabiya for our energy sessions and time to relax. 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, 5 and 6
Sail the Mother Nile, Visit Komobo and Edfu Temples
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Thursday, April 25 - Saturday, April 27
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. Here we will have a RARE PRIVATE NIGHT TEMPLE VISIT!
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.
In each of these temples, we will connect with the magic and wonder of the energy held within them through our own ritual and ceremony to activate and awaken our own Divine Essence.
To integrate the experience of these two magnificent temples, we will have a relaxing day of sailing the Nile. Watch the farmers and countryside of Egypt as we cross Esna Lock. This is a favorite day of many of our guests as it is a day of idyllic sailing from a time gone by. We will continue with our energy sessions and hold integration circles as well until we moor in Luxor overnight.
DAY 7
Dendera and Luxor Temples
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Sunday, April 28
We will enjoy breakfast on our Dahabiya and then take a bus journey 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.
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 Dahabiya moored on the Nile banks of Luxor.
DAY 8
Karnak Temple & Transfer to Cairo
(Breakfast / Lunch )
Monday, April 29
After one final breakfast on the Nile, we will check out of the boat and enjoy a morning 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.
We will 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 known for her magic and ability to hunt down an imbalance at its origin. In a potent private initiation, we will honor the Goddess and receive the gift of courage to be our authentic selves.
We will have a meditation and initiation with Sekhmet. This temple piece is one of the few 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.
After leaving Karnak Temple will travel by a short flight to Cairo and return to the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel to rest and integrate. You can visit the spa for a self-care treatment, or just enjoy lounging by the hotel’s glorious pool. (Dinner on your own.)
DAY 9
The Sphinx/ Great Pyramid /Gamal’s Oil Shop
(Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Tuesday, April 30
Early morning, we will have a Special Private Visit to the Sphinx and the Giza Plateau. Here you will walk between the magnificent paws of the Sphinx, who sees all our incarnations on this planet and who keeps safe the Hall of Records where our stories are held. Feel the power of our ceremony to anchor in all that Egypt has shown you thus far.
Over lunch, we head to Giza for a potent afternoon with 5th-generation alchemist Gamal Abdul. In his magical shop, we will experience the & Sacred Oils and receive direct instruction from him on the chakra system.
Following our time with Gamal, we will have a Special Private Sunset Visit inside the Great Pyramid with a culminating initiation in the King's Chamber. Here we unite our life stories with those who have come before us and those who will come after as we embrace the transformation we have experienced on this journey. 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.
After this final initiation, we will gather for a beautiful farewell dinner in the evening 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!

TOUR LEADER
Dr. Rima Bonario
This is my fourth 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.
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 knowing.
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, mission-focused life. My studies with master energy teachers, the ancient art of Tantra, years of shadow work, and the art of transformational psychology are the foundation for my coaching and teaching approach.
I am the founder of Bloom Fine Egyptian Oils and 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.
TOUR LEADER
Tj Bartel
Tj Bartel is an Energy Teacher and Transformational Coach who is a master at manifesting in alignment with his Soul-Mission. He will bring his transformational teachings and unpack the energy principles at the heart of successfully living your Mission.
To aid in this, Tj has developed a powerful energy practice called LEAP: Life-force Energetic Alignment Protocol to upgrade the body’s energetic operating system. It is this system which is at the root of life's challenges.
He will provide LEAP sessions to the women participants to move stuck energy, unwind and release limiting beliefs, heal from past hurts and resolve old wounds so you can rebalance and achieve a healthy, well-tuned, vibrant energy system.

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
