The Sacred Pilgrimage To Kemet (Egypt)

September 29th - October 11th, 2024

Greetings, Seekers of the Sacred -

You are warmly invited to join us on a pilgrimage to the timeless land of Kemet (Egypt), a place where ancient wisdom whispers in the wind and the grandeur of history unfolds beneath an endless sky. This is not just a journey; it's a profound exploration of the spiritual depths that have called to seekers and dreamers throughout the ages.

Our pilgrimage will take us through the sacred sites of Egypt, each a testament to the profound mysteries and spiritual power that have inspired civilizations. We will also participate in meditations and rituals designed to connect you with the sacred energies of this ancient land. Under the guidance Dr. Abdelaziz Mohamed Hassan (Adam), an Egyptologist focused on spiritual wisdom, and Emma Goldman, a ceremonialist and retreat guide, you will be gently led into experiences that promise not only knowledge but transformation.  

A humble disclaimer that, I, Emma, am no Egypt specialist, nor am I of Egyptian descent. I am still deep in learning about the goddesses, gods, and rituals of ancient Kemet. Just like you, I am a student—I am also here to receive messages from the ancient sites and civilizations that people have pilgrimaged to for thousands of years. I’ve been called to create this offering so that others can feel the visceral experience of this ancient land, and receive their own downloads and teachings. I’m honored to work with Adam and his community to share this special place with you.

Whether you are a seasoned traveler of the inner and outer worlds, or this is your first step on such a journey, the sacred lands of Egypt offer a profound and transformative experience. We welcome you to join us on this adventure of the spirit, explore ancient mysteries, and find reflections of your own deepest self within them.

Secure your place in this once-in-a-lifetime journey and open your heart to the wonders that await! Egypt calls you to a pilgrimage of the soul, an odyssey of enlightenment, and a celebration of the sacred within and all around us.

We look forward to welcoming you.

With Warm Regards,

Emma & Dr. Abdelaziz Adam
