Sound Expeditions through Egypt
Pyramids, Temples and Sacred Sites in Egypt
Egypt: June 3 – 10, 2024
TABLE OF CONTENTS AND QUICK LINKS
WELCOME
Join us on an unforgettable sound healing journey through Egypt,
to the ancient Pyramid of Giza and the Egyptian energetic mysterious temples.
Explore the power of sound healing, meditations, and initiation with sounds for transformation at the most sacred and beautiful ancient spaces of high vibrations, transformative forces in the world.
David Gibson, sound healing researcher, explorer and teacher will lead us through a series of transformative experiences, including sound healing meditation, sacred sound, channeling, chanting, and healing work.
In this retreat, you will discover the power of sound healing and
ways to let the sounds open your heart and heal your body and mind.
During this transformational expedition, you will experience deep healing, guided sound meditations that will allow you to meet new and unexplored parts of yourself. Along with this a connection will be revealed to your authentic self and there you will enter confidence, strength, and wisdom that has always been there…waiting for you.
You will discover the breathtaking landscapes of Egypt, and visit the most sacred places, connect with some amazing like-minded people. Note that you do not have to have any experience with sounds, music, or singing.
We have created a special itinerary designed to provide time for private and group ceremonies, personal exploration, and meditation in key sites. In addition, we will also do group sound rituals designed to activate ancient resonate chambers.
You will be guided by David Gibson who will lead you in sound, mythology, meditation, history, science, and personal exploration, with the focus being on raising the consciousness and vibration of ourselves and the planet. There will also be an opportunity to participate in mini-workshops, with David’s guidance.
The principals of Stay-Tuned Expeditions – Gil Tetro and Ya’acov Fried – are veterans in the music consciousness world and in planning educational journeys. They will expose us to the latest cutting-edge programs and sessions in Egypt, and will lead mini-sessions, and will facilitate for us opportunities for private programs at sacred sites.
The journey will include educational discussions providing background on the history of the sites and multiple sound mediations and activations in the sacred spaces.
Last but not least, we will establish a sound and soul pod group to hold the space for everyone to receive the spiritual guidance and messages they need for their own Soul purpose fulfillment.
INTENTION
We are all aware of the tremendous power that sound healing has in
personal growth, confidence, creativity, motivation and in improving our well-being.
While visiting Egypt our group intention is to
explore, educate and elevate the spirit and consciousness of everyone involved.
This journey is meant to help us expand and be of service to the earth and
the expansion of human consciousness.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to join with a select group of powerful and humble sound healers
in such an expedition of transformation at this special time.
This expedition puts out a call to those individuals whose soul and life contracts and resonate with the intent of reviving, remembering, and recovering this greater purpose of service to humanity and activating this knowledge into actualization.
We believe that the journey in the holy sacred places in both countries, with its tremendous energetic healing powers,
will be a life changing experience for each one of us.
EGYPT OVERVIEW
Bask in the timeless majesty of ancient Egypt on an immersive 8 day and 7-night journey through the land of the pharaohs. We will explore its quintessential archaeological treasures with an expert archaeologist.
In Cairo we will venture into both the Sakkara Pyramid and Great Pyramid.
THE Great Pyramid of Giza, along with other Egyptian temples can concentrate electromagnetic energy through its chambers to create larger pockets of energy at its base, according to startling new research.
To experience this electromagnetic field, we organized an exclusive early-morning visit,
including experiential vibration sessions with David Gibson.
We’ll explore the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to view a vast trove of artifacts and will also visit
the timeless Sphinx and explore the sounds, lights, and smells of Cairo.
We will fly to Luxor where we’ll visit the Temple of Luxor, the Valley of the Kings, and the Valley of the Queens,
including several experiential vibrations sessions.
We will descend into the tomb of Tutankhamun (King Tut) and the Tomb of Seti I, father of legendary Ramses II in the Valley of the Kings, as well as visiting the colorful tomb of Nefertari, one of Egypt’s most famous queens.
We’ll continue to Aswan, engaging in experiential programs en route. We’ll conclude the visit to Upper Egypt with a journey to Abu Simbel to view the imposing twin temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari.
