This is not a typical journey through Egypt.
This is a guided, initiatory pilgrimage—
designed around three extraordinary cosmic alignments:
The Spring Equinox at the Sphinx
The Full Moon in Libra in the King’s Chamber
Easter Sunday at the Ma’at Shrine
Each one marks a threshold within the journey.
Together, they create a rare opportunity to experience Egypt
in a deeply intentional and immersive way.
More than a journey… this is a sacred pilgrimage.
Join Heather & Donny Regal for a deeply immersive experience through the temples, pyramids, and sacred lands of Ancient Egypt—guided through ritual, ceremony, sound healing, and initiatory teachings.
This pilgrimage is designed as a living mystery school, where each site becomes a gateway for remembrance, embodiment, and transformation.
We move beyond tourism…
into presence, reverence, and awakening.
