The Invitation
Dear One, It’s time to embark on a 13-day journey of your soul‘s remembrance and awakening.
Join me as we travel back to the motherland to experience the magic and mystery of Egypt's most sacred sites.
This is a unique opportunity to connect with your divine essence and tap into your power as a co-creator with the universe.
Spending time in the ancient temples and sacred portals, we will work with archetypes, symbolism, and the energetic polarities between the masculine and feminine. Within this journey, you will learn to harness ancient wisdom for personal power in your daily life.
As once taught in ancient mystery schools, we will uncover the keys to unlock the power of receiving transmissions intended for us. We will bridge heaven and earth for our ultimate illumination and healing.
Join me and an intimate group of like-minded individuals who share the same passion for adventure and culture. We will traverse the sacred lands together and share stories under the starry night sky creating bonds which will last long after our time in Egypt.
I challenge you to discover a new part of yourself as we collectively call upon cosmic truths and ask for revelation to what is beyond the veil. Come dance with reverence and help us turn this ceremony into a celebration you’ll soon never forget….
The Adventure
Of A Lifetime
At a young age, I was mesmerized by images of golden temples and the mysterious hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt. There was something so familiar and alluring about the ancient civilization that kept me wanting to know more…
In 2017, after a week of exploring Egypt, a mysterious force brought me back to the Luxor Temple.
What happened to me next was nothing short of a life-altering experience. An initiation.
It was uncomfortable. Old versions of myself were being stripped away until I felt like nothing remained except my pure essence.
I was left with a core awareness of who I was and what I was here to do.
Because Egypt has had such a profound impact on my life, I’ve designed an exquisite retreat so you too can experience the mystery and wonder that radiates throughout this magical land.
The Experience
Standing on the Giza Plateau looking up at the Great Pyramid is where our journey begins.
Be prepared to be blown away by the size of the ginormous Pyramids. The energy is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. You’ll immediately notice your life force, as you will have a burst of energy moving through you.
We will spend a few days indulging in this cosmic energy and our nights will be spent at one of my favorite places, the world-famous Mena House.
Then we set sail on the luxurious Dhaybaha- known as "Nile Lily." Onboard you’ll be waited on hand and foot while enjoying breathtaking views along the Nile. This floating oasis is the perfect place to unwind after our temple visits and other explorations.
Traveling with ease is important to me. I have carefully curated this retreat to ensure that your every need is met; with beautiful accommodations and nourishing food. You can relax knowing that you will be well taken care of as we explore all that Egypt has to offer!
My dear friend and world-renowned Egyptologist, Emil Shaker will take you through some of Egypt's most iconic sites, the Great Pyramid and Sphinx, Karnak Temple Complex, Valley of the Kings, and more. He’s guided Marianne Williamson, Gregg Braden, and other spiritual leaders. He is a wealth of knowledge and so much fun to be around!
Because of Emil’s notoriety, our group has been granted government permission to access special areas not open to regular tourists, including a sunrise visit to the Philae Temple and a meditation inside the King’s chamber.
Making this journey a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Join me at the start of 2024 for YOUR ultimate Egypt adventure!

Our Itinerary
Here is our amazing 13 Day Journey
Brooke Lauren
Brooke Lauren was 12 years old when she had her first past-life vision of Khemet (Egypt); although she didn't understand it then, she continued to have a deep soul resonance with ancient Egypt. Her childhood curiosity and fascination with the mystical land grew into a thirst for knowledge as she delved deeper into the secrets of this ancient civilization. In 2017, She traveled to Egypt with Emil Shaker and Russ Hudson's group to study the Enneagram.
Brooke felt herself drawn towards the back of the Luxor temple where she experienced a life-altering initiation. This powerful activation was a series of peak spiritual events and prophecies in Brooke's life, ultimately unlocking her gifts as a healer and Priestess.
She has dedicated her life to serving the sacred, infusing ceremony into everyday life, and working as a channel for spirit.
Through her work as an intuitive coach and healer, Brooke provides compassionate guidance to those seeking to connect to their divine light and true potential. With over eight years of shamanic training under her belt, she has become a threshold medicine guide who creates energetic containers for others to experience transformative awakenings and shifts in consciousness.
Whether you're seeking healing, activation or simply wish to remember your true self, Brooke offers an open heart and supportive container for exploration and growth where you can tap into the magical portals of Khemet alongside someone who understands its profound significance intimately.
Host/Priestess
Emil Shaker
Internationally acknowledged as one of the world's leading Egyptologists. As an archeologist, he wrote two Master theses, one on the East Gate at Karnak Temple, the other on Queen Hatshepsut's temple located on the West Bank.
Emil is the "Encyclopedia Britannica" of ancient Egypt's hidden mysteries. Even after 45 years of guiding, he brings an authenticity that irresistibly draws a person into the mysteries present in these sacred temples. His love for these ancient temples, coupled with his profound understanding of the science and consciousness of the ancient Egyptians, their hidden mysteries, and esoteric secrets, provide "keys" to the person's wisdom within.
Throughout this unique retreat, he will share his four decades' worth of knowledge and wisdom of ancient Egyptian mythology, their cosmology, and his unique insights into their sacred teachings on life, death, and the afterlife.
He has guided many leading transformational teachers and New York Times best-selling authors such as Gregg Braden, Marianne Williamson, Bruce Lipton, Jean Houston, Nicki Scully, and Normandi Ellis. He has also guided groups with Unity Ministers, UCRS Ministers, and the Rosicrucians.
On meeting Emil, one is captured by his genuine warmth, great sense of humor, and wondrous "enthusiasm for life." One of his great joys is sharing his beloved homeland of Egypt with those fortunate to be with him.

What is…
The Initiates of RA?
Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun, is the embodiment of light and life itself.
He was often depicted with a falcon's head, representing his ability to fly through the sky and bring warmth to all living things.
To be an “initiate” means to become proficient in connecting to insight, in mastering the skill of living an inspired life. It’s a rite of passage for some, or a lifelong journey for others.
This initiation will be a powerful and transformative experience that allows you to tap into the mystical powers of the ancient Egyptian deity, RA. This initiation will help you unlock your true potential and activate your God(ess)-self to confidently bring forth light, compassion, manifestations, and strength in your life and to others.
During this 13-day journey, you will be guided through a series of rituals and practices designed to help awaken this power. These will include meditation, breathing, chanting, movement, offerings, and visualization exercises.
As you immerse yourself in the potent energy of the temples and pyramids, you may begin to feel a shift in your consciousness – an opening up of new channels for energy flow and heightened awareness. You may also experience profound insights or visions that reveal deeper truths about yourself and the world around you.
This Journey will be truly life-changing – helping you to discover new levels of self-awareness and activate untapped reserves of power and magic within yourself.
Do you feel the call?
Many of us have felt the shift already. We are living in a period of time where greater access to insight, inspiration, awakening, and awareness demands us to be more intentional in our decision making. Meaning, we are being called to make big shifts in our relationships, careers, and/or personal missions.
Maybe you are a “light-worker" or just interested in connecting more profoundly to your heart and mind. To dive deeper within. Either way, and without a doubt, there is something in this journey for you.
The call to enter the sacred land of Egypt is a personal one. If you feel that twinge, like I did, you know where you need to go, whether it is the "perfect timing" or not, I believe there is information in this place that will benefit you and your expansion.
