Testimonials
Thank you for your inspiration, love and spirit. This was truly an amazing experience and I will never forget all the laughs…..
No exact words can describe what I gained from this time with all of you.
what a wonderful experience I will never forget. So much more than I expected.My heart is full and I learned so so much! What a beautiful thing you did for all of us!
Thank you for facilitating this wonderful retreat, and last years as well! It is always fun and exciting but it also seems to take me on a healing and spiritual journey as well. The Hot Springs and natural beauty of the area, the personal vulnerability to open up to new experiences, the connections I’ve made with amazing retreat women and of course leaving inspired and more centered than when I arrived.
P.S Thanks for your loving support of my dancing thru the years. I have grown so much in return!

The Cosmic Heart Tour 14 Days of Magic, Mystery, and Awakening
Welcome to The Cosmic Heart Tour! Our group will converge in Egypt, the land of living myth and magic. Where ancient whispers are carried on desert winds, and the Nile still flows like a ribbon of time. This is not just a tour; it is an experience!
Over 14 enchanting days, we will voyage through Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor. Exploring the temples, tombs, and timeless treasures that have captivated the world for millennia. We will walk in the footsteps of pharaohs, priestesses, mystics, and sages, and in doing so, rediscover parts of ourselves long forgotten.
Sadie & Vanessa have tailored the itinerary, adding some special classes, shows, and cultural immersion.
Unlike most commercial tours, we have created a schedule and itinerary to allow space for quiet reflection, meditation, and meaningful connection.
THE JOURNEY
January 11-14 | CAIRO
We will begin our journey sleeping at the foot of the Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza for 3 nights. Activities include a day at the Pyramids complex and other activities of interest in Cairo for you to choose from, as well as scheduled activities and shows.
January 14-16 | ASWAN
We will fly south to Aswan, located in Upper Egypt, also known as the gateway to Nubia. Here we begin our journey of visits to the historical sites such as Abu Simbel and Philae. We will be delighted by Nubian culture, food, dance, and history.
January 16-19 | NILE CRUISE on private boat
The Nile holds no clocks, cradled in her embrace, the veil between now and then drifts away. Along the tranquil banks of the Nile, reeds tell the stories once inked on ancient papyrus. Past and present entwine, and you are no longer a visitor, but a soul returning to something long remembered.
Here we will continue the journey of a lifetime as we visit many more enchanting sites along the magnificent Nile River on our private boat for our group.
January 19-24 | LUXOR
Known as “the world’s greatest open-air museum”, this is Waset, as it was called by ancient Egyptians. It was named Thebes in the New Kingdom by the Greeks. One of the most intelligently and symbolically designed cities in the ancient world, its layout was deeply and strategically a spiritual, cosmological, and political one. Divided along the Nile, with the East Bank representing life (rising sun) and the West Bank representing death (setting sun).
You will visit Temples of the living gods (like Karnak and Luxor Temple) built on the East Bank. Tombs and mortuary temples (Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens) built on the West Bank, where the sun “died” each day, symbolizing the journey into the afterlife.
This spatial symbolism reflected the Egyptians’ cyclical view of life, death, and rebirth, mirroring the daily journey of the sun god Ra.
This will be our home for 5 days. Between the many enchanting activities, we will also have parties and classes for our private group to experience Egyptian culture and magic!
