About the Guides
Donna LeBlanc is your guide for this spiritual journey, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to discover a different kind of Egypt - spiritual Egypt. The ancients believed the pyramids are "where gods were born." By immersing in this energy, you can be transformed. As you walk in the footsteps of the Pharaohs, you will revisit the greatest civilization of the ancient world, which gave us the only Wonder of the World still standing - the Great Pyramid.
Join us for this incredible two week journey into the heart of Mother Egypt. Experience her gods and goddesses as parts of yourselves that you have long forgotten. Awaken ancient memory as you travel along the Nile creating ceremony and relationship in the grand Temples Edfu, Abydos, Karnack, Luxor and more. Expand as you meditate in the Great Pyramid and staring at the eyes of the Sphinx. Feel the energy, the cellular changes, and the sudden recall of your past. Together as a group heart we will share, create, heal and play in the warm desert sun of our ancient roots.
Mohammed Shata, accomplished Archeologist, Egyptologist, and Metaphysician, known worldwide for his extensive knowledge, will accompany us throughout our trip. We are fortunate to have the expertise of one of Egypt’s best Tour Guides! He is the former Inspector of Antiquities at Giza Pyramids and many other sites. He has participated in many discoveries, digs, and restorations throughout Egypt.
Mohammed supervised the work in numerous museums and universities, and lectures extensively especially in the United States and London. With his extensive knowledge and love of his homeland, he will show us every aspect of Egypt that we may learn and experience as much as possible during our visit. He will explain the metaphysical side as well as the physical side throughout the trip. He has a great sense of humor and is full of surprises! We are very fortunate to be in his capable hands for the entire trip.
