Ancient Egypt Healing Journey 6 - 19 October 2010 - a Sacred Earth Retreat

Join Elizabeth Bardin on a very unique and sacred healing journey to Egypt.

On the journey, you will visit some magnificent temples along the Nile - the Sacred Mother of Rivers that gives life to the land and nourishment to the people. You will be able to explore your connection to the gods and goddesses of Ancient Egypt and also meet a Master Egyptian Energy healer. And then finally- we will prepare ourselves for an amazing encounter with the Great Pyramid at the end of our journey.

What makes SACRED EARTH RETREATS so special?

Small groups, affordable pricing, lots of fun… and soul growth. And you will almost certainly come home with some great new friends!

On a journey you are also introduced to Egypt in a very special way- to become more aware of the spiritual energies of Egypt! And with that you are able to unlock so many, many more gifts of healing than when you are merely going there as a tourist for the first time.
