Pilgrimage of Souls - Egypt
3 April 2025
Exclusive 11 x night private meditation tour through Egypt
This eleven day journey will include the White Desert, Black Desert, Crystal Mountain, Siwa Oasis, and Tel el Amarna, as well as the temples of Luxor, Denderah, Abydos, and the Giza Pyramids. We have our own private transport and guide, and will stay in guesthouses, living simply, honouring the land and the Egyptian way of life.
This is a deep quest of soul, with a nomadic feel, journeying through the desert to Siwa, place of the oracles.
The spiritual focus will be on soul purpose and destiny, working with the Goddess and the Neteru.
We will be stargazing in the desert, and doing sacred ceremony, daily chakra meditations, and connecting with temple energies. Our Egyptian guide Walid knows many sacred rituals of Hathor which he will share with the group.

Our Itinerary:
Arrive in Luxor: our rep will meet you at the airport, assist you with your luggage, and check you into our private villa in Luxor. Our group of soul pilgrims will meet, unwind from the journey and enjoy a delicious dinner together.
Day 1:
Medinet Habu: We begin our quest with this most ancient and evocative temple. This was the ancient place of the Ogdoad, the eight original creator gods and goddesses of Egypt. The energy here is different to anywhere else. An ancient temple of Amun Ra and Amun Min, god of fertility, it was later dedicated to Ptah and Sekhmet, before being adopted as the site of the Mortuary Temple of Ramesis III. The colours in this temple are exquisite, and our group have special meditation access in private rooms.
Isis Temple: in this beautiful temple we honour Goddess Isis, the Great Mother Goddess, in a blessing ceremony for our journey, with drumming, chanting and prayers.
Luxor Temple at night: our group will enjoy an evening visit to Luxor Temple, illuminated under the starlight. This is the Heart of Luxor. Many footsteps have walked this temple, including Ramesis the Great, Tutankhamun and Queen Hatshepsut. We will meditate in the ascension room, the holy of holies, and offer prayers of peace.
Day 2:
Karnak Temple: we dedicate a whole day to Karnak, gateway to the mysteries, the largest temple complex in the world. The imposing hypostyle halls lead to the Altar of Amun, where the sun rises on the winter solstice. We will explore the many temples within this temple, including red temple of Hatshepsut, Goddess Opet, Khonsu the Moon God, the Seven Doors of Osiris and the Temple of Ptah and Sekhmet. Our group will have a private initiation ceremony with Sekhmet, and you will be able to make your connection to Her.
We will also visit the sacred lake, the sacred Scarab, the precinct of Mut, and many other wonders of this magnificent place, known as Ipet Sut, the Most Excellent of Places.
Day 3:
Denderah Temple of Hathor: we spend a whole day in this most beautiful temple dedicated to Hathor, the Goddess of Love. We enter through green gardens, into the courtyard, and the Mamisi which is the oldest part of the temple. The presence of Hathor permeates the great hypostyle hall, which is home to the famous rectangular zodiacs, and the stunning blue murals created under Greek rule of Egypt. Our guide is from Denderah, and he will show us all the sacred and important parts of the temple, including the underground crypts where the Denderah lightbulbs can be seen. We will go to the power places of Hathor, and the group will receive activations and blessings. We will visit the chamber of the resurrection of Osiris, the Denderah Zodiac, and the high roof where a panoramic view of the landscape can be seen. We will also explore the grounds, and see the swimming pool of Cleopatra, and the Nilometer.
Day 4:
Abydos Temple of Seti I: we spend a whole day exploring this exquisite temple which is one of the best preserved in all of Egypt. Abydos was a pilgrimage place of Osiris since ancient times. We give honour to the Father of Egypt, and connect to the Djed Pillar, the backbone of Osiris. This temple has many amazing colours and reliefs, and seven chambers dedicated to Horus, Isis, Osiris, Ra Horakhty, Ptah, Amun and Seti. Our group will meditate in the Osiris room, and connect to the powerful energies of this temple. Here you can receive DNA upgrades, and spiritual cleansing in the place of infinite waters.
Osireion: our group will also visit the Osireion, most ancient temple to Osiris, which is sunken into the ground behind the main temple. This is where the Head of Osiris was believed to have been found. Here you can see the Flower of Life on one of the columns. The sacred waters of the Osireion spring up from underground rivers connected to the Nile. The design of the temple has a connection to the Temple of the Sphinx.
Transfer to the Bahariya Desert - set up camp Bedouin style and enjoy dinner cooked over the fire, as we share our experiences and gaze at the stars.
Day 5:
Desert Caves: we awake in the desert and enjoy a Bedouin breakfast. We will explore the stunning desert caves nearby, connecting to the deep earth energies. Here we hold circle, and share our prayers and intentions.
Black Desert and White Desert Safari: we drive in jeeps through this magnicent landscape, where you can see mirages amongst the black desert dunes, accompanied by Sufi music and high spirits. When we arrive in the White Desert, you will marvel at this wonder of nature that goes on as far as the eye can see, with an infinite array of sculpted shapes that seem to be from another planet.
Camping in Crystal Mountain: in this most sacred high energy place we make our camp, and enjoy Bedouin dinner under the stars. We will create crystal mandalas under the waxing moon, send healing prayers and bless our intentions. With drumming, singing and stargazing, you will be transported to another time.
Day 6:
Tel el Amarna: we transfer to Minya, to Tel el Amarna, the place that was chosen by Akhenaten to be the site of his kingdom. He chose virgin land to fulfil his vision: a vast desert embayment surrounded by high limestone cliffs. Our group will visit the Temples of the Aten, where you can see the layout and stand in the sacred places of the Aten, the Solar Disk. We will meditate and connect to the energy here, which is very high and very pure.
Tomb of Akhenaten, Nefertiti and their Chilren: we will go inside the tomb of this enigmatic family and connect to the energy of the solar rays, and the genius visionary who is known as the Sun King. We will connect to the majesty that is Nefertiti, her exquisite beauty, her deeply mysterious story, and the story of her children.
Tomb of Meri Re: we will visit the tomb of Meri Re, the Greatest Seer of the Aten. This tomb contains beautiful and well preserved reliefs, and is unfinished.
Transfer to Cairo: we stay the night in our Giza guesthouse by the pyramids
Day 7:
Transfer to Siwa: driving through the land of Egypt we focus on our pilgrimage, and what it means to be a pilgrim. With adventurous spirits we marvel at the land known as Om El Donya, Mother of the World.
Siwa Oasis: we arrive at the place that Alexander the Great journeyed through the Great Sand Sea to reach.
Day 8:
Oracle Temple of Amun: we visit this ancient Temple of Amun perched on top of the great hill of Siwa. Our group will meditate in the place of the Oracle herself, and connect to the immensely powerful energy of this sacred spot. Here you may glimpse eternity. Any questions you have on your Soul Quest will be answered here, in the place of limitless knowing.
Siwa Salt Lakes: you will have the opportunity to float in the brilliant blue lakes of saltwater that are intensely cleansing like an electric shock. You can set your intention to be completely cleansed of any negativity in your aura.
Eye of Cleopatra: we will enjoy lunch in this beautiful place, and you will have the chance to bathe and anoint yourself in the pool known as the Eye of Cleopatra.
Day 9:
Siwa Oasis: on day nine of our pilgrimage, we will go to the great lake of the Oasis itself. Here we will connect with the ancient and sacred waters of Siwa. This oasis is what remains of the Great Shallow Sea that covered the Western Desert. It has connections to Atlantis and the primordial energies of creation. The water spirits are very present and may make themselves known.
Siwa Old Town: we will explore the town full of bustling markets, arts and crafts; and see the old style architecture and city fortress. Enjoy the coffee shops, local restaurants, and imbibe the unique energy of this place which is like no other.
Day 10:
Transfer to Cairo
We stay the night in our Giza guesthouse in the energy of the pyramid fields.
Day 11:
Giza Pyramids & Sphinx: early in the morning, we will explore the Giza plateau and have the opportunity to enter the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Our group will explore the Pyramid of Khefren, the Temple of the Sphinx and the Sphinx of Giza. The sublime energy here is the culmination of our pilgrimage, as we meditate in the Giza gateway, and give thanks for our journey.
Khan El Khalilli: optional trip to the bustling bazaars of Khan El Khalilli, to explore the narrow lanes, pick up a few souvenirs, see the old Islamic architecture and enjoy coffee and shisha in the famous coffee shop

Forever grateful for this... beautiful, life changing experience
"The retreat in Egypt was amazing. My life is forever changed. My conscious mind hasn’t totally comprehended it all but I feel it so deeply at a cellular level. As each day evolved I would think, “This was my favorite temple/site” until the next day came. Each day built on the day before and continued for me throughout the journey. The last early morning inside the Great Pyramid was magical, other worldly, and standing in front The Great Sphinx was very moving. It is hard to find words to describe the depth of emotion of all that I felt. Simply beautiful.
All of our needs were taken care of and everything flowed perfectly. The guides were so knowledgeable and they had so much passion for all they shared with us. Having private access with our group in chambers at the temples, away from the crowds, was amazing.
Katy, you are a beautiful soul with a beautiful heart and you guided us with such grace and love. I’m forever grateful for this group of women you brought together to create such a beautiful, life changing experience."

The temple energies will change you... most definitely for the better
"What an incredible, amazing experience this journey has been!!
Katy was an incredible host - kind, intuitive, and passionate about Egypt. The guides she uses are a wealth of knowledge. I could not have imagined a more beautiful experience. The temple energies will change you in ways you may not expect, but most definitely for the better. If you are thinking about it, stop thinking and just do it! You won’t regret it "

Sacred Journey & Priestess Retreat
Truly a spiritual ascension trip... each day was more magical than the next
“Traveling to Egypt with Katy was truly an unforgettable experience! I was hesitant due to travel restrictions and a lot of obstacles coming up for me (flights changing, cancelling, etc.). She called me and assured me that I was probably going to have a huge breakthrough with all of the challenges beforehand. She was right. I landed and the first night was an evening to a temple with a walk down the avenue of the sphinxes. It was truly a spiritual ascension trip with other healers and guides that were a part of the group. Each day was more magical than the next, discovering temples, hieroglyphics, tombs, watching drum making, drum ceremony, meditations and getting downloads of the truth and a new reality that is possible for all of us. We were always spotted a mile away by the guards, seeing us as healers entering the space. They could feel our energy, some of them welcomed it and some were afraid of it. Regardless, we each had our own journey of spiritual growth, love connection, marriage proposals, and secret adventures to locked and protected sacred sites we would have never seen on our own. The guides she hired were passionate, knowledgeable and spiritual. If you are going to Egypt, you must go with Katy! It will truly change you forever and touch your heart in ways you can never imagine..."

Sacred Journey & Priestess Retreat
Laughter, tears, joy, remembering, dancing, and more with soul sisters
“When I saw Katy's advertisement for her Sacred Priestess Journey to Egypt, it was as if all the signs and hints I'd been getting over the last few years suddenly made sense. I had to go. This was no small feat for me, to commit to something like this for myself, and I am so very glad that I did.
We spent 2 weeks exploring beautiful temples and tombs, sailing on and swimming in the Nile, visiting pyramids I didn't know existed, being given access to places I thought I'd never visit and being guided by wonderful, spiritual beings who really got why we were there.
There was so much laughter, tears, joy, remembering, dancing, music making and more with this group of soul sisters, who I had never met and now feel deeply connected to.
At one very special point in our trip, I was stood on a sun disk, and I heard the words 'life will never be the same again' and this is so true. I am forever changed by this sacred journey.
Thank you Katy and thank you to all who came together to make this a trip of a lifetime.”
Melonie Syrett, Drumwoman, UK
Sacred Journey & Priestess Retreat
Egypt is a place on the earth, and it is also a place in your soul
“This sacred journey to Egypt was a “trip of a lifetime”. One of the most profound shifts in consciousness that I have had as a result of this trip, is that Egypt is a place on the earth, and it is also a place in your soul. Traveling to the sacred sites, breathing the air and getting the sand in my shoes was a way to activate the sacred gifts that Egypt had to offer to my soul. One could spend a whole lifetime trying to intellectually understand our human journey through Egypt, but this journey is a soul journey of many lifetimes. At each of the sacred sites there were soul memories and activations that washed through me. Traveling with Katy and a group of like spirited women allowed for these activations to be acknowledged and supported. Sailing along the Nile on our very own vintage boat was a sensual and magical experience. We stepped out of time and into the realm of the goddess to be nourished and supported on our healing path. We laughed, cried, danced, ate delicious food and enjoyed this time for ourselves. Although we did all of the (main) sites, with Katy as our guide, I did not feel like a tourist. I felt like a pilgrim coming home. ”

Sacred Journey & Priestess Retreat
A deeply empowering place that... blasted my heart wide open
"It is hard to put into words what I experienced on my journey to Egypt with Katy and our incredible group of women. First off I had no desire to go to Egypt but it kept calling me and showing up in my world so I began my search for a retreat. I knew that If I went it had to be a spiritual retreat that went beyond the surface level of the traditional tours.
When I came across Katy’s website and read the incredible intinerary I immediately knew I had found my retreat. Egypt was so much more than I could have ever imagined. It is a deeply empowering place that has awakened caged up power within me, and blasted my heart wide open. It gave me the courage to release the things and people in my life that were safe and comfortable allowing me the space to grow beyond my fears, and false limitations. It was the perfect way to end a year of self work. I am new blank canvas ready to paint my masterpiece.
So if you are ready for transformation and Egypt has been calling you I highly suggest Katy and her retreat.
I am forever grateful to Egypt and most of all the beautiful soul sisters I gained on this journey."

Divine Feminine in Egypt
Experiencing the Goddess on that level changes you forever
"There is no other place on Earth like Egypt! Visiting its extraordinary sites which still hold the ancient high vibrational energy is absolutely transformational.
It has been my dream since I was in my teens and joining Katy Sophia’s retreat made my dream come true.
The immersion in the ancient sacredness of the temples has been very profound for me and all of us collectively. I didn't feel like a tourist visiting another country but like a priestess returning home to the temple. It was an empowering process that clarified my connection with Egypt. Experiencing the Goddess on that level changes you forever. I came home to myself, the anxiety has dissipated, the fears burned away and my Soul surrendered and melted into the waters of the Nile, from where everything germinates and is born anew.
What was truly special about this trip was the relaxed pace Katy Sophia created with plenty of space of time for all of us to be in the temples and sites we visited. This was very important for me as I couldn't have been rushed while living such a profound connection felt on a cellular and vibrational level.
All my needs were met. Katy made sure we were all happy and the organization of the trip was exceptional and more than I imagined it would be. Having as a guide the guardian of the Karnak temple added to the learning experience and the sacrality of the visit as his knowledge comes from the ancient Mysteries School and he explained to us the iconographic representation on a deeper level.
We saw things of a breathtaking beauty, we meditated in the most beautiful sites and we sailed in the most magical river in the world.
I will be forever grateful to Katy for making this trip possible for me and if I had done it by myself I wouldn't have had the blessing of all this trip offered including very special new friendships.
Thank you Katy Sophia, LOVE YOU!" ❤🙏

Excellent ***** Five Stars
"The itinerary and organisation were excellent. The accommodation was very comfortable & all well appointed. We loved overlooking Great Pyramid! Our Egyptologist Guides were exceptional - as well as being extremely knowledgeable & delightful people they were also very helpful & took care of any issue in the background.
The Private Access visits were very special & made the trip for me. Not sure I can (say what I enjoyed most) as I loved the whole ‘journey’… JUST LOVED the whole experience! There was just the right amount of ‘guiding’ and time to enjoy on our own… not over organised which I liked. Thanks Katy :-) A trip of a lifetime!"
