EGYPT 2027
Lotus • Lioness • Ra: Nile Mysteries Sacred Journey
A spacious, luxury-held sacred journey where Egypt’s lands and Nile waters reveal their living mystery—temples, water rites, and rare private moments held as true initiation. Guided by Lotus • Lioness • Ra, you’ll be received into sensual remembering, fierce clarity, and solar direction that changes what you carry home.
10 days / 9 nights (9-18 January 2027)
The WATERS remember, your body understands.
Lotus is the Blue Lotus of Egypt, the flower of sacred waters, sensual presence, and inner remembering. It speaks to the way the Nile restores you: softly, steadily, from the inside out.
Lioness is Sekhmet; she is fierce love, clear boundaries, and the holy fire that burns away what isn’t true. She brings the courage of embodied leadership: calm strength, clean choice, and a heart that knows its own power.
Ra is the solar current of the pilgrimage. Ra is illumination, vitality, and true-direction power. You arrive one way, and you leave carrying a brighter inner sun: renewed, aligned, and clear in what you’re here to create.
The Journey Woven
You arrive in Egypt with the sky in its dark-seeded cadence, a new-moon hush that draws you inward. Cairo is the first threshold. The land of initiation, where Ma’at meets you in the beginning: breath becoming steady, intention becoming clean, the inner scales finding their balance. The Blue Lotus opens in still water, and the current of the journey starts moving beneath your skin.
Then you travel south into the Isis lands of Aswan, welcomed by the Sacred Nile and held by the grounded, river-rooted energy of the Nubian village, where colour, culture, and water-life soften you into presence. Isis holds the temple of return, guiding you through devotion and restoration, gathering back what belongs to you. Hathor arrives as radiance in the heart and voice and beauty as initiation, joy as medicine, song as a key.
And then the Nile takes you fully. You are wrapped into the river’s embrace aboard the dahabiya, the Magdalena Temple Boat, and initiated by water itself where sailing becomes ceremony, time becomes spacious, the temples arrive like living gates. As the days unfold, Ra crowns the journey with solar gifts of clarity, courage, sovereignty, a steady inner throne, while Khepri stirs becoming, and Khnum-Ra shapes new life at the unseen wheel, remaking identity in quiet, sacred increments.
As the Moon gathers light, the pilgrimage gathers voltage. Sekhmet steps forward as holy fire. She is precise, purifying, unwavering, burning clean what dilutes you until only truth remains. The journey completes in Luxor, where we close with a final ceremony to seal what has opened, bless what is emerging, and anchor the codes you’ve received into breath, body, and choice.
You leave with more than memories: you’ve been initiated into the mysteries of Kemet. You were received by her temples, shaped by her desert silence and Nile waters, and strengthened by the solar current that runs through her stone. Gifts arrive: clearer sight, cleaner boundaries, deeper devotion, and a steadier channel for your work in the world.
You step off the boat changed, softened and strengthened at once, your mission humming, your presence unmistakably luminous.

A Note On Investment
I want to name the investment in this journey with care and clarity.
Lotus, Lioness, Ra is a decent investment, reflecting the depth of the experience, the quality of the accommodation, our private sacred site access, and the intentional way this pilgrimage has been created and held.
This is not designed as a conventional tour of Egypt. We travel with spaciousness, presence and time to genuinely meet the places we enter. History and cultural context are woven with embodiment, ceremony, reflection and personal inquiry, allowing the journey to reach far beyond sightseeing.
Our pilgrimage includes private access to the King’s Chamber inside the Great Pyramid, close time with the Sphinx, the inner Sanctuary of Sekhmet at Karnak and the temple of Isis at Philae. We also spend five nights aboard Magdalena, our private luxury Dahabiya, giving us time to rest, integrate and experience the Nile as part of the pilgrimage itself.
Kriszta and Karim join us as our Egyptian storytellers and temple guides, bringing historical knowledge, cultural context, local insight and deep familiarity with the places we visit.
The investment reflects a small group journey, rare access, beautiful accommodation, trusted guidance and the time and space required to travel differently.
Lotus, Lioness, Ra is created for those who feel a genuine call to meet Egypt in this way and to return home carrying more than memories: deeper self knowledge, renewed courage, sacred connection and experiences that continue to unfold long after the journey ends.

Your Journey Guides
Arkellah, founder of Seven Stars Temple and creatrix of this journey, is the journey leader, principal facilitator and key ceremonialist for Lotus, Lioness, Ra. She holds the spiritual, emotional and intentional container for the entire pilgrimage, guiding the journey as a living ceremony through Egypt’s sacred lands, temples and waters.
Arkellah weaves embodied practice, meditation, ritual, energy work, reflection and sacred feminine teachings throughout the experience. She guides the deeper arc of the pilgrimage, supporting each woman to receive the initiations of the Blue Lotus, Sekhmet and Ra within her own body, heart and life. Her facilitation is warm, grounded and devotional, creating a safe and beautifully held space where participants can soften, listen and open to what Egypt awakens within them.
Alongside Arkellah, Kriszta and Karim serve as our Egyptian storytellers and temple guides, bringing the history, mythology, symbolism and living spirit of Egypt into each sacred site we visit.
Kriszta is a Priestess of Avalon who has lived under the spell of ancient lands and their myths since childhood. Her spiritual awakening began in Egypt and deepened through her studies in Avalon. Having lived in Egypt since 2011, she has developed a unique gift for uncovering the hidden HerStory woven through its temples, myths and monuments, revealing the often forgotten stories of women, goddesses, priestesses and queens. As a reader of symbols, myths and gateways through time, Kriszta opens new ways of seeing the sacred landscape and the feminine mysteries held within it.
Karim is a son of Egypt, a child of the desert and a guardian of the temples. Raised within the Sufi tradition, where the heart is the first teacher, he carries a spiritual lineage that has followed the Path of the Pure Ones for generations. With more than twenty years of experience guiding travellers through Egypt’s sacred sites, Karim brings profound historical knowledge, cultural understanding and heartfelt storytelling. Through his words, the temples become living vessels of memory, poetry and wisdom.
Together, Arkellah, Kriszta and Karim create a richly layered sacred journey. Arkellah leads the pilgrimage, ceremony and transformational experience, while Kriszta and Karim illuminate the ancient stories, symbols and temple mysteries of Egypt. Their combined presence allows each site to be encountered through history, mythology, spirit and embodied remembrance.
Meet Arkellah
Arkellah, founder of Seven Stars Temple and Goddess Yoga, is the heart led facilitator of this pilgrimage, devoted to creating sacred journeys that are felt in the body, held in the nervous system, and remembered in the soul.
For over 25 years, she has held space for people through yoga, women’s circles, mentoring, and ceremony. As a senior yoga teacher trainer and embodied guide, she weaves depth with warmth and devotion with grounded care. She holds a steady, protective presence that helps people relax into trust and meet themselves honestly. Her work invites presence, tenderness, and real transformation, the kind that ripples into how you live, love, and choose.
Arkellah is a Blue Lotus ceremonialist and the creatrix of the Blue Lotus Awakening Oracle Deck, bringing sacred vision to life through beauty, symbolism, and initiatory wisdom. Egypt has lived close to her for years through dreams, visions, and an unmistakable inner calling, and that connection has deepened through time on the land and in the waters, where remembrance becomes tangible.
Her relationship with the Goddess Sekhmet is a living thread through this journey. Through years of study and practice in Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki, an advanced, high-frequency Egyptian energy healing system, she has been shaped by Sekhmet’s fierce compassion and sacred precision. In Egypt, entering Sekhmet’s inner sanctuary brought her to her knees, and in that moment she felt a profound receiving, a deeper communion with Sekhmet’s presence and power. This pilgrimage carries that transmission, held with reverence, devotion, and a steady hand, offering participants a rare opportunity to be met by something ancient, protective, and profoundly alive.
Meet Kristza and Karim
Kriszta and Karim bring a rare sacred union to Lotus, Lioness, Ra, weaving feminine mystery, Egyptian wisdom, Sufi devotion and the living language of the temples into one deeply felt experience.
Kriszta carries the current of the priestess. Her relationship with Egypt is intuitive, symbolic and deeply connected to the forgotten stories of women, goddesses, queens and temple initiates. She listens for the mysteries held beneath the visible history, revealing the feminine pathways that continue to breathe through the land.
Karim carries the heart of Egypt. Rooted in the desert, the temples and the Sufi tradition, he brings decades of experience, cultural knowledge and a profound sensitivity to the spirit of each sacred place. His storytelling carries warmth, poetry and reverence, opening the temples as living spaces of memory, devotion and wisdom.
Together, they hold a beautiful balance of masculine and feminine presence. Kriszta opens the symbolic and mystical gateways, while Karim gives voice to the soul of the land. Their shared love of Egypt creates an atmosphere of depth, trust and enchantment, allowing each temple to be experienced through history, mythology, intuition and the heart.
Their presence brings a sacred intimacy to the journey. Through their stories, insights and relationship with the land, Egypt begins to feel alive, personal and close, inviting each traveller into a deeper encounter with its beauty, mystery and ancient wisdom.
