GODDESS RETREAT IN EGYPT NOVEMBER 2024
Aloha Lovely One
I am Michelle Leske, your host and tour organizer on this Retreat. Goddess Retreats came about after I first visited Egypt in 2011. I experienced so much healing, I grew so much as a person, I released fears, my confidence grew exponentially and I found my purpose. My dream was to host tours to Egypt. Not just site seeing tours but healing tours, I so wanted to give others the opportunity to heal spontaneously like I did. That was 13 years ago, now I have lost count of the number of Retreats I have hosted in Egypt. I have had the honor and privilege to host tours in Turkey and France too, and my list of bucket list countries grows all the time.
It is my honor to be able to host these retreats, and to witness so many participants healing, letting go, becoming completely different people to the ones that first came on the retreat. Many of the participants attend the retreats over and over again. I have made some really good friends, and do believe that we fulfil a Soul Contract or agreement, when we come together in a group to heal our hearts. Participants feel like family, soul family and the connections speak volumes.
I invite you to read through the itinerary and Answer the Call. I am looking forward to travelling to Mystical Egypt with you!

THE ITINERARY
8 to 12 November 4 nights Cairo
Day 1: Friday 8 November 2024
Meals included: None
Arrival in Cairo from your country. You will be met at Cairo International Airport by our representative and assisted to purchase your visa, go through customs and collect your luggage. Then you will be transferred to the Le Meridien Airport Hotel where you will check into your room. The group spends one night in the hotel to make logistics easier.
Day 2: Saturday 9 November 2024
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
The group will be collected at Le Meridien Airport Hotel and transferred to the Pyramids Hotel by Jaz near the Giza Plateau. We will have our Opening Ceremony where you will get information about the tour and we will set our intentions for our Personal Goals that we would like to achieve during this sacred time. This Journey is about Learning to Love Yourself Unconditionally, Remembering that You are Powerful, Forgiveness of Yourself and others and seeing yourself as the Limitless, Bright Light that you are.
Lunch at your own expense
In the afternoon, we will enjoy a Private Visit to the Sphinx, who is Tefnut, one of the Lion Headed Goddesses. Here we will have the opportunity to meditate in the Paws of the Sphinx and explore the area. This is a very special opportunity, since we have Special Permission for our group to enter this area. Generally tourist only get to view the Sphinx from a platform, but not go anywhere near the actual Temple.
Tefnut, the Great Mother, also more commonly known as the Sphinx, has her home on the Giza Plateau.
She is older than 10 000 years,
YES!!! You are reading correctly, ten thousand years, according to geological studies of the erosion surrounding this statue. Tefnut was one of the Lion Headed Goddesses revered in Egypt. She is the daughter of Ra, who created her, and she nurtures, mothers and loves all of humanity.
When you experience getting up close and personal with her, during our Private Visit, you will come to a realisation and inner knowing, that Tefnut, is in fact The Great Mother.
Day Three: Sunday, 10 November 2024
Meals Included: Breakfast & Dinner
After breakfast we gather for a Healing Circle, where we connect to our Divinity and Focus on the Third Eye Chakra.
After our healing session, we have another Special Permission tour to Abu Ghorab. It is the site of one of 4 Sun Temples built in Egypt, supposedly built in 2500BC but I suspect it may be older than that. The bowls found at Abu Ghorab are mysterious, the use of them not known, and they are found nowhere else in the world. There is an energy at this site that is unexplainable. Although it is basically in ruins, there is much to feel and experience. You may want to watch this documentary to see for yourself
Day Five: Tuesday, 12 November 2024
Meals included: Breakfast & Dinner
We start the day by connecting to our Divinity, connecting to our Heart Centre and also working with the Third Eye Chakra, using our intuition to find blockages to Unconditional Love. This time our Healing Circle will take place in the Great Pyramid, where only our group will have the opportunity to be inside that massive structure. We explore from top to bottom and then hold a healing session and meditation in the Kings Chamber. This is always one of the highlights of Goddess Retreats in Egypt.
Day Four: Monday, 11 November 2024
Meals Included: Breakfast & Dinner
We start the day by connecting to our Divinity, connecting to our Heart Centre and also working with the Third Eye Chakra, using our intuition to find blockages to Unconditional Love.
We visit the Giza Plateau which is home to the 3 Pyramids: The Great Pyramid, Kafre Pyramid and Menkaure Pyramid and also the Sphinx. We examine and explore these phenomenal structures and contemplate how they were built and their purpose. There is also an opportunity for a horse or camel ride, and of course plenty of photo opportunities.
We visit the Newly Opened Grand Egyptian Museum to view treasures, mummies, statues and all things Ancient that have been found in Egypt.
We visit a Koshari restaurant for lunch. Koshari is an authentic Egyptian food made with noodles, lentils, chilly, tomatoes and other tasty ingredients. After lunch we visit Khan el Khalili Souk. The largest market in Egypt, where you can browse, shop, smell the authentically Egypt smells, and become enmeshed in the busyness that is Egypt.
LUXOR:
During our time in Luxor, we will work with the element of Earth and truly ground ourselves into our physical bodies, and become aware of the beautiful gifts of Mother Gaia. We also focus on the Heart Chakra, learning to Love ourselves and experiencing our Power and Divinity.
The Ascension Flame is kept in the Etheric above Luxor. We will connect to the Ascended Master, Serapis Bey, and the Ascension Flame (White Flame of Purity). I work very closely with Serapis Bey, and his mission to uplift the Divine Feminine.
-
Luxor is the Heart Chakra of Egypt, and we will do lots of work to Heal the Heart of past trauma and also allow ourselves to become more open hearted
-
We will have the honour of having some private time in the Chapel of Sekhmet in Karnak Temple

The Valley of Kings and is not to be missed when visiting Luxor. This is where we explore the beautifully painted tombs of the Pharaohs, thousands of years old. You may wish to visit the Tomb of Tutankhamun at your own expense
-
You will also have the opportunity to go on a Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise, this is a marvellous experience, not to be missed
sailing the nile:
For the next four days and nights of the retreat, we will sail the Nile on a Dahabiya. A dahabiya is a traditional Egyptian sailboat, characterized by its elegant design and classic wooden construction. These graceful vessels offer a luxurious and leisurely way to cruise the Nile River. With their ornate furnishings, spacious cabins, and a limited number of passengers, dahabiyas provide an intimate and authentic way to explore the timeless beauty of Egypt, making them a favorite choice for travelers seeking a more personalized and relaxed Nile cruise experience.
Our group will be the only passengers on the Dahabiya, and this gives us the perfect opportunity for healing, meditating, sacred cacao ceremonies, dancing and singling mantras in our very own private vessel.
