"seek peacefully, you will find. - Egyptian Proverb"

A must-do for every first-time visitor to Egypt is a camel ride around the Pyramids. The known story goes that Allah goes by 99 names, and only the humble camel knows the 100th name. We rise with RA as it births into colors of pink and warm tones over the Giza Plateau, setting the tone for the day that awaits us while we take in the scenery. After a full day of exploring and connecting with these sacred scenes at the Giza Plateau and the step and Unis pyramid of Sakkara, we return to the Mena house to enjoy the lush gardens and exotic pool.

dr. kathia phd, ND, D.PHYT, Cert TCM, NIMHI am answering my calling as a Neteru Medicine Woman, Healer, Scientist, Researcher and Priestess, in leading groups to Egypt. It was my own deep connection, shamanic mentorships, sojourns and remembrances of Egypt that led me on an in depth path of initiation into the mysteries of the Egyptian Pantheon. I serve as a conduit, gatekeeper and guide for the mysteries to be remembered and integrated.
For the past 16 years, I have practiced the healing arts as a Naturopathic Doctor, Medical Herbalist, Sound Healer, and regularly present as a Keynote Speaker on "psychoacoustics" in the medical community and internationally. Additionally, I lead workshops and explorations of the Egyptian Mysteries for the past 5 years along with a year long mentorship program in the practice of Egyptian Shamanism. It brings me so much joy and fulfillment to facilitate a Sound Journey Through Ancient Egypt, where each temple was built with a specific healing frequency in mind that comes alive through our sacred intentions and visiting these healing sites allows for the physical embodiment. |
