Resonating Egypt Expedition 2024
Greetings ~ Inner and Outer Explorers
Brief Video Invitation & Introduction
As you may know I did a three month tour of Egypt this past autumn 2023, as part of a writing-research trip. It was an incredible journey and I took the opportunity to explore as much of Egypt as possible to discover the divergent features it has to offer. I went with the intention of considering bringing a tour to Egypt myself at some point, thinking I would do that after my book is finished and published. However, the magic of Falak (Arabic for Cosmic Flow) is working with my Spiritual GPS and things are coming together more quickly than I expected, opening the way for a tour this coming September 2024.
While in Egypt there were synchronistic connections with amazing Egyptians who are prepared to help work on a tour from their side, and have facilitated this type of work in the past. On this side, I also have assistance from people who will be joining us on the tour.
TONE OF THE TOUR
The Resonating Egypt Expedition is not the usual tourism to Egypt. The intention is to work as a group to create space where participants can connect more deeply to the sacredness of the sites and geography we visit. We will be engaging with meditation and resonating exercises to heighten our inner experience, while outwardly experiencing some of the most incredible places on the planet. There will be time in our travelling to reflect and find deeper connection to inner spaces. We would like this to be a spiritual journey as much as a historical and geographical one, and be considered a Vision Quest.
We will be on the move each day, up early and following a tour itinerary ~ especially Week 1 and Week 2, while visiting the historical sites. Things will get progressively more laid back through the second and third weeks for those participating during those modules.
It is also a time for me (Jesse) to continue work on the book through research and sharing of his core theory that pyramids, and the Great Giza Pyramid in particular has things to show us about human nature and our spiritual nature. This will inspire our work together.
TOUR STRUCTURE
The structure of the Resonating Egypt Experience is modular so that a person can come for one week, two weeks or three weeks. Each week has a different flavour and experience. After looking at the focus of each week and what works with your budget, you can select what fits for you and sign on through the Registration Form.

Enchanting Spaces of Sahara
Bedouin Camp Lifestyle
MODULES: Come for 1, 2 or 3 weeks
WEEK 1: Sat. Sept. 14 ~ Sun. Sept. 22 👁️⃤ The Great Megalithic Sites of Egypt
At the start of the first week we will be landing in a new small, open air hotel I visited called, Peace House in Abusir, with a pyramid literally in our face. From there we are in reach of exploring the sites of Giza, Saqqara (including Serapeum), Dashur, and Abusir, which includes pyramids, temples, tombs, and Memphis Museum. Halfway through the week we will move to a hotel at Sphinx Square to visit Sphinx and Giza Plateau, and also spend time in Cairo and Cairo museums. This week includes many of the biggest highlights of ancient megalithic Egypt, while we engage inner spaces of sacredness in approaching these sites.
WEEK 2: Sun. Sept. 22 ~ Sun. Sept. 29 🌟 From Karnak to White Desert Camping
For those who participate in the second week, there will be a shift in the tempo and terrain we explore. We will first take a van to Luxor, with a stop at the Osireion along the way. In Luxor we will experience the famous temple described in Schwaller de Lubiz' book, The Temple of Man. This module also includes visits to Luxor Museum, Karnak Temple, the Workers' Village, and Valley of the Kings. These sacred sites will allow the group to engage in meditative and acoustic resonating practices to raise the vibe for personal and planetary transformation.
After an internal flight back to Cairo, the next three nights will be camping in the White Desert of the Sahara, sleeping under the stars (or in a tent), visiting the crystal caves, and meditating in spaces of incredible vastness. The camping is hosted by Ahmed Tour Company, which specializes in White Desert adventures, providing all the transport, gear, food, set up, everything, so we can just contemplate the ethereal vistas, walk the wide ranging landscapes, and sit by the campfire meditating. I did this last November and it was so special I knew I needed to return and bring others with me.
WEEK 3: Sun. Sept. 29 ~ Sun. Oct. 6 🌊 Coastal Bliss
For those who engage in the third week, we will take an internal flight to the east side of Egypt, starting in the Red Sea coastal town of Dahab on the southern Sinai peninsula. Here the chill factor will go even further in this laid-back coastal town where my few day visit turned into a few weeks ~ because it was so hard to leave! Our accommodations for the first 3 nights will be in Mirage Village, where I enjoyed my stay, rising early for sunrise meditation and movement practices on the beach.
The salt waters of the clear Red Sea is a great place for cleansing and healing while swimming and snorkeling. It even has some of the best scuba diving in the world, among abundant coral reefs and marine life, if you wish to do that. The food offered in Dahab is over the top good, while enjoying Arabic style plush-cushion, waterfront dinning.
After 3 nights in Dahab we will travel a short distance up the coast by boat to a Bedouin Camp called Falak ("Cosmic Flow"). I went back there three times because the desolateness was so breathtakingly beautiful, and the stargazing invites connection to the cosmos. We will each have our own reed hut with the Red Sea just steps from our door. With the desert mountains to our back we can do sunrise hikes and meditation before breakfast. When the heat rises there will be lots of time for immersing in the Red Sea, as there's not much else to do here but hang out (literally in a hammock), or walk to the Blue Laguna for a fresh juice. The young Bedouins who run Falak Camp are great, as are the home-cooked Egyptian style meals. This is how the third week and entire expedition will conclude before taking an internal flight back to Cairo for our international flight home.

WHAT TO EXPECT
As a group we will be touring the sites of Egypt, while taking time to connect to the quality of spaces from an inner meditative state of being. Working together we will co-hold sacredness and ritual to open to the spirit of the spaces we visit. Through this we will invite experiences that can initiate inner growth, healing, and illumination.
