			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>On this spiritual journey to Egypt we&#8217;ll have the opportunity to be in the presence of sacred space </strong>designed for the purpose of spiritual alignment and for remembering and exploring the ancient mysteries of Egypt. Truly these temples serve a special function, to stir and encourage the divine to awaken within us &#8211; to illuminate the way to enlightenment. <strong>During this heart-opening journey with facilitator Samvedam Randles, we&#8217;ll dream our own spiritual transcendence</strong> just as the ancient mystery school initiates did thousands of years ago through ceremony, meditation and group process.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Using the mythology, stories and archetypes of the ancients we come to understand who we really are &#8211; <strong>the limitless consciousness that creates the very fabric of this reality.</strong> We&#8217;ll experience the powerful energies at these sacred sites &#8211; compelling us to transcend rather than being enslaved by the old stories and mythologies of our ego-minds. <strong>It is said that during the journey to the afterlife the god Anubis weighs your heart against a feather &#8211; and only if your heart is as light as that feather will you have eternal life.</strong> By letting go of the stories which weigh heavy on our hearts, we too can be free and embrace our eternal consciousness.</p>
<h2><strong>Ancient Stones</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our adventure in Egypt begins in the shadow of the Great Pyramid of Giza</strong>, where stone meets sky as a testament to one of the greatest civilizations on earth. Here, on the plateau of Giza, 2,300,000 blocks of stone, some weighing as much as 9 tons, were used to build an eternal tomb for a divine king. The art, design and proportion of these structures were truly a testament to their beliefs of resurrection, transformation and divine illuminated consciousness. <strong>When these ancient stones speak to us, whispering their mysteries and wonders, we will be ready.</strong></p>
<p><span> </span><br />

<p><span> </span><br />
<span> </span></p>
<h2><strong>Spiritual Wisdom &#038; Culture</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We&#8217;re blessed to have a knowledgeable Egyptologist </strong>who will accompany us, sharing his enthusiasm and wisdom of this incredible culture.  <strong>Reading John Anthony West&#8217;s book: The Traveler&#8217;s Key to Ancient Egypt: A Guide to the Sacred Places of Ancient Egypt</strong> (&lt;&#8211; Look in our recommended books) is a great way to prepare for this journey! It&#8217;s not a typical travel book, but instead focuses on the spiritual intent of these amazing structures.</p>
<blockquote><p>“The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.”<br />

<p><span> </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Giving of Ourselves</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Although Kenya is one of the more stable countries in Africa, poverty and deprivation are rife across the land.</strong> HIV AIDS has resulted in over one million children being left as orphans with no visible means of support or care.<strong> Life expectancy rates have fallen</strong> and thousands of families struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis. With children suffering from the ravages of malnutrition, malaria, and HIV AIDS, the result is an <strong>ever-increasing child mortality rate</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>For our community project, we&#8217;ll visit the Kids Alive Children’s Home</strong> (a Christian organization), and <strong>the Kamatongu Primary School a government supported school</strong> which is in dire need of a permanent source of drinking water. <strong>Proceeds from this journey will provide funds to the school</strong> to help them achieve some of their most dire goals. <em>Our visit will be a powerful opportunity for us to open our hearts in service and experience unconditional love.</em></p>
<blockquote><p>“For Africa to me&#8230; is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.” ~ Maya Angelou</p></blockquote>
