Temple of Philae and the Osirion
5 star luxury, and unique accommodation

all inclusive
women only
I have loved curating this brand new itinerary for you, guided by the Goddess Sekhmet who has
communicated with me since May 2023 when she told me to relocate to Egypt and offer nourishing spiritual
adventures for women - and so I did. It was a huge wild leap that I did without looking down... and this brand
new life adventure is evolving to be so profound and revelatory. As I facilitate the first year of MYiE in April
and November 2024, with two absolutely divine groups of ladies, Sekhmet revealed that in 2025 it will be time
to deepen our exploration by venturing into the inland sea of sand: Fayoum, Minya and Abydos - tracing the
footsteps of Sekhmet and the goddesses Renenutet, Hathor, and Isis, while balancing divine feminine by
aligning with the masculine energies of Ptah, Nefertum, Thoth and Osiris.
This journey includes four private ceremonial visits: the Osirion, Great Pyramid, Sphinx, and Temple of Philae.
We will also make unique sacred pilgrimages to Amarna, Hermopolis, Temple of Seti, and Dendera.
These locations are not usually offered on ‘tours’ - and you are not tourists now, you are my guests and my
calling is to facilitate the experience of your lifetimes!
Along the way, you'll enjoy all inclusive, luxurious 5 star and unique accommodations, including sailing the
mythical Nile on the stunning dahabeya, *ANAT* with an onboard Blue Lotus Rite of Passage. In addition to
witnessing the awe-inspiring tombs of the Valley of the Kings and Queens, Hatshepsut, Madinet Habu, Karnak,
Luxor Temple, Edfu and Kom Ombo, you’ll engage with Nubian culture in Egypt’s far south. We’ll also journey
even further back in time to uncover the secrets of Nabta Playa - Egypt’s stone circle that is 5000 years older
than Stonehenge. MYiE offers not only exploration but personal revelation through culturally respectful
ceremonies, workshops, a book club, and all-inclusive physical and spiritual nourishment. A special highlight
will be spending quality time with inspiring Egyptian women to unite in globally empowered sistarhood.
You will experience many extraordinary things and time for grounding, private reflection and cultivating awe is
prioritized so you can soak it all in. This is your invitation not to ‘retreat’ but to ‘expand’ into YOU.

Reviews
It was a transformative, once in a lifetime
experience, and I am incredibly grateful to
Fiona for not only bringing such a unique
experience as an offering to the world, but
also engaging not only as a wonderful
facilitator, but vulnerably as a participant, in
our circles.
- I know the Universe led me to this
experience, and I know my life will never be
the same, in the most magical of ways. I
can't wait to see what comes next for us all.
-
Jen M. MYiE April 2024
From the moment I stepped foot into the
ancient land of Egypt, Fiona's guidance and
care ensured that every step of the way was
not just safe, but deeply nourishing for the
soul. What sets *MYiE* apart is its unique,
immersive itinerary.
- This journey blends Egypt’s ancient wonders
with profound spiritual experiences, guided
by Fiona’s expertise. It’s a profound odyssey
of self-discovery and transformation that I
will forever cherish.
-
Alisha J. MYiE April 2024
Spiritual lifelong and having wanted to visit
Egypt forever, I jumped at the opportunity to
travel with Fiona. Curated specifically for
women, I felt inspired and reassuringly safe
to travel alone, yet with a delightful group of
ladies, to explore my spirituality and healing.
- Meticulous planning was key, but also being
open to the flow and needs of a unique
group of individuals as we traversed a
landscape of awe-inspiring energies enabled
me to feel relaxed, expressed and free.
-
Wendy C. MYiE April 2024
My Promise to You
- It is my great honor and privilege to
facilitate you Meeting Yourself in Egypt. I
will do my very best to ensure you have the
safest, most nourishing, joyful and
profoundly life changing experience in this
magnificent land. We will travel, learn and
explore together, physically and spiritually.
- We are a group - yet your sovereignty and
autonomy will be honored - there will
always be time and space to reflect and
integrate on your own terms. We will travel
as a culturally respectful and mindful group,
honoring the vast heritage that this oldest
continuously inhabited civilization in the
world offers.
*The nourishing spiritual adventure for women—now in its second year, with a brand new, curated itinerary to unveil the mysteries of Egypt and the mysteries within you.

MEET YOURSELF IN EGYPT
31st March-15th April 2025
FULL ITINERARY
Siwa Oasis: A Journey to the Heart of Ancient Healing
Nestled deep within Egypt’s Western Desert lies Siwa Oasis, a place of profound spiritual and historical
significance. Known as one of the most mystical spots in Egypt, Siwa has long been a sanctuary for those
seeking healing, both physical and spiritual. The oasis is famous for its connection to Cleopatra VII, who
bathed in its natural springs, now called “Cleopatra’s Bath.” This spring, still flowing today, is revered for its
restorative properties, inviting you to immerse yourself in the same waters that once soothed the queen.
For centuries, Siwa has been a sacred space of healing, known for its rich mineral salt lakes and hot springs
that cleanse and rejuvenate. The naturally occurring salts here have unique detoxifying properties, both for
the body and the spirit. As sunset over the Sea of Sand beckons, Siwa’s tranquil beauty provides the perfect
environment for deep inner reflection and personal transformation.
Siwa’s history is equally compelling. Home to the ancient Oracle of Amun, it was once a center of prophecy
and divine communication, visited by Alexander the Great to seek confirmation of his divine lineage. The
remnants of the Oracle still stand, a testament to Siwa’s role as a bridge between the earthly and the divine.
With its surreal Shali Fort, mesmerizing Mountain of the Dead, mud brick villages, unique and friendly Berber
and Bedouin locals, lush palm groves, salt lakes, hot springs and clear skies, Siwa carries an energy all it’s own.
