Day 2: 

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Visit to the temple of Queen Hatshepsut at sunrise. This stunning construction was built as a mortuary temple for the powerful female Pharaoh who ruled for 22 years. It is the only temple built on three levels, directly into the rock face, and is unique in its design, with shrines to Hathor and Anubis. 

Medinet Habu Temple

Visit to Medinet Habu Temple, the mortuary temple of Ramesis III. This strikingly beautiful temple was built by Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III. A temple to Ptah and Sekhmet, it was built on the site of an older temple of Amun, and a pilgrimage place of the Ogdoad in ancient times. The colours inside are still vivid and vibrant. 

Private Meditation Ceremony & Blessing

Day 3:

Denderah Temple of Hathor

Our group will explore this amazing temple dedicated to Goddess Hathor, Mistress of Astrology and Lady of the Stars. This is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved temples in all of Egypt. On the ceiling of the hypostyle hall are images of the astrological journey of the evolution of consciousness, and the incarnation of the soul. You can see the great goddess Nut, the mother of Isis, whose body represents the Milky Way. We will visit the room of the famous Denderah Zodiac, the room of the resurrection of Osiris, explore underground crypts, and have the opportunity to go on the roof and see a panoramic view of the landscape. We will also see the healing pool where Queen Cleopatra used to bathe.

Participant Reviews of Previous Retreats

"I’m at the airport now, feeling so sad to leave Egypt! Just wanted to thank you so much again for the whole trip, it was intense, magical, and inspiring. I learnt so much and received so much, it was great to have dinners together, and to see you in your element and joy, dancing and flowing with the energy of the Nile. Really loved the planet meditations, thank you for all your astrology expertise. I really loved the trip and feel filled with gratitude and an expanded heart."

Vicky Lim - Astro Retreat Luxor

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Luxor! The choice of temples and the time that we spent there was magickal, the astrology lessons very interesting and the accomodation and meals wonderful! This was definitely a trip that I will forever cherish!

Thank you for all the organising, support and for all the work that you put into this trip!"

Angela Lazaraki - Astro Retreat Luxor

"I have loved spending time with you. You’re like the oracle!

I think I will be coming back soon if not in Nov I’m sure not too long away!! 

Thank you so much for such an amazing week xx"

Alexia Christou - Astro Retreat Luxor

“I have just returned from Katy’s Astrology retreat in Luxor and wanted to give a testimonial. The retreat was an amazing experience. I am a beginner to astrology and I feel like I have learned lots and grasped a good understanding. Katy was a great teacher; the teaching was well structured and fascinating and we had many great conversations. We were given a very useful book with lots of information. The trips to the temples were fascinating and really amazing. We had a few private meditation opportunities in the temples, and the incredible energies in these locations really enhanced the whole experience. We stayed in a real authentic Egyptian ecolodge by the temple. We had great food as well. I would highly recommend this retreat.”

Heather Donaldson - Astro Retreat Luxor

I highly recommend Katy Sophia, thank you for who you are and all you do

"I feel blessed beyond my fondest dreams to have the privilege to meet, cross paths, receive and learn from Katy Sophia.

I have received so much vital and crucial information for my journey in my Astro reading. Katy has allowed me to interact and shared my soul voice, the way She reads is incredibly unique and heart centred, which I myself consider precious in the times we live.

Katy is a teacher of teachers, a powerful healer and seer. She carries precious codes of Hathor and Sekhmet, which will without a doubt impact your life.

I had readings with her, and I’m also booking coaching sessions because I trust her genuine heart and willingness to help, and I witness her going above and beyond to support me. For that I’m so grateful. 

I highly recommend Katy Sophia, thank you for who you are and all you do."

Ana Matta, Holistic Therapist

Truly a spiritual ascension trip... each day was more magical than the next

“Traveling to Egypt with Katy was truly an unforgettable experience!  I was hesitant due to travel restrictions and a lot of obstacles coming up for me (flights changing, cancelling, etc.).  She called me and assured me that I was probably going to have a huge breakthrough with all of the challenges beforehand.  She was right.  I landed and the first night was an evening to a temple with a walk down the avenue of the sphinxes. It was truly a spiritual ascension trip with other healers and guides that were a part of the group.  Each day was more magical than the next, discovering temples, hieroglyphics, tombs, watching drum making, drum ceremony, meditations and getting downloads of the truth and a new reality that is possible for all of us.  We were always spotted a mile away by the guards, seeing us as healers entering the space.  They could feel our energy, some of them welcomed it and some were afraid of it.  Regardless, we each had our own journey of spiritual growth, love connection, marriage proposals, and secret adventures to locked and protected sacred sites we would have never seen on our own.  The guides she hired were passionate, knowledgeable and spiritual.  If you are going to Egypt, you must go with Katy!  It will truly change you forever and touch your heart in ways you can never imagine..."

Charissa Sims, Meditation Teacher and Healer, Colorado 

Egypt Sacred Journey
 

A deeply empowering place that... blasted my heart wide open

"It is hard to put into words what I experienced on my journey to Egypt with Katy and our incredible group of women.  First off I had no desire to go to Egypt but it kept calling me and showing up in my world so I began my search for a retreat.  I knew that If I went it had to be a spiritual retreat that went beyond the surface level of the traditional tours. 
When I came across Katy’s website and read the incredible intinerary I immediately knew I had found my retreat.   Egypt was so much more than I could have ever imagined. It is a deeply empowering place that has awakened caged up power within me, and blasted my heart wide open.  It gave me the courage to release the things and people in my life that were safe and comfortable allowing me the space to grow beyond my fears, and false limitations.   It was the perfect way to end a year of self work.  I am new blank canvas ready to paint my masterpiece.
So if you are ready for transformation and Egypt has been calling you I highly suggest Katy and her retreat. 
I am forever grateful to Egypt and most of all the beautiful soul sisters I gained on this journey."

Amanda Beisel, Consultant

Egypt Sacred Journey

Learning Astrology with Katy has really changed my life

"I would definitely recommend doing the Astrology course with Katy as it was really fun to learn and very informative.

Learning Astrology with Katy has really changed my life. It has allowed me to learn so much more about myself, about other people and about nature.

I have learned how very influential the planets and star systems are on our lives as individuals as well as a collective.

It has been amazing! Thank you Katy. "
