About this Retreat
My own journey began as a child with debilitating chronic migraines. I would sit in darkness for hours wanting the pain to go away. I learned to “deal” with these afflictions which morphed into more nervous system diseases of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I felt helpless and defeated! Finally in 2015, a holistic doctor advised yoga. I was transformed and propelled on a path of healing. What was once suffering and darkness, had rebirthed to a world of healing, awe, and endless possibilities.
I now know my symptoms, even at a young age, were due to misalignment in my Self- mind, body, and soul. I didn’t know how to handle energy, my emotions, my nervous system, balancing my Self. Although I began on a quest to heal my body only, I found the importance of healing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and soul. One can not be sound without the others also being healed. I began to see old patterning that was holding on to these delusions of my mind. As I breathed deeper with awareness, my mind became more free. As my mind became more free, so did my body and visa versa. As they both softened, the cloud over my soul dissolved. It is always a cycle of death and rebirth into the next best version.
I continue to dive deeper into union; within myself, within relationships, with the Earth, and with the celestial realm. I have found my healing to begin in the heart, and expand out from there. I listen to the ques from my body to interpret signs from my eternal Spirit. I use discernment to trust my intuition whole heartedly. When I stray from the correct path, I see the healing lesson of working in the shadow to grow the light.
I have studied with yogic and Ancient Egyptian healers to bring this healing path to myself and others. I am initiated under the Neter Mut. Meaning, I use the natural energy of union for my main healing source. Combining these energy practices and wisdom into my love for yoga asana movement, breathwork pranayama, and meditation is my gift to you. I have found not only healing, but pure bliss and awe for the internal and external. This work comes with diving deep within both the shadow and light. I love to work through different states of consciousness utilizing different modalities to retrieve stuck emotions, attachments, cords, and negative thoughts that prevent the inner light to shine.
Feeling truly blessed with teachers from a direct line from Patabhi Jois, Omm Sety, and Yogi Bhajan, I feel as if the universe was meant to bring me teachers who have learned from the golden chain of wisdom. My joy is to weave all tools of wisdom together in order to create a space for internal healing that is right for a person in the particular time.

Details of this retreat
If you are ready to deeply unlock the codes of truth, love, and the knowing of who you are, come visit 4 sacred sites of Ancient Egypt. You will be supported by Ancient Egyptian ritual, Kundalini kriya, meditation, breathwork, yoga nidra, sound bath, foot bath, and more.
Within the Ancient Egyptian temples holds a key to who we truly are, to creationism, to the temple in our hearts, and the knowing of life. These temples allow us to open blockages that have arisen in ourselves and helps us to see more clearly the poisons that have been injected throughout our lifetime. Our true nature is love, and anything that rips us from this truth is the blockages we seek to remove. These temples help us connect into the natural energies that bring balance and renewal of our true Self.
As we connect with breathwork, meditation, ritual, and movement within our body through the yogic practices, we are able to assist ourselves to a higher receptivity to these ancient healing energies. We allow the temples to work on us, through us. This is a pilgrimage away from the distorted mind and bring us into our hearts and spirits. We come to right relation with our mind, the Ka (the shadow body) and the Ba (the light body). We are reconnecting with the union of ourselves which is the union of nature and creation. We are connecting back into the core of life, revitalizing a spark within ourselves. Allowing us to open our hearts to become one with truth. The temples and yogic practices are only able to work within you as much as you allow. This retreat is a practice of surrender to union.
Spend the first three days connecting with different energies of 3 major temples. Hanan, an initiate of Thoth, will be there to assist with the knowledge and wisdom of Ancient Egypt. Celeste, and initiate of Mut, can help with your connection to these energies. Spend the remaining days at the House of Life Healing Centre and healing temple of Seti I in Abydos, Egypt. Work with the energies of the temples as well as your own energy through ancient Egyptian and yogic lineages. This is for those who are ready to dive deep into their knowing of who they truly are and remove deep seated blockages. We strive to awaken your energetic system and empower you to weave the calculated mythology of the natures of Egypt into your being. Ancient Egyptian wisdom is handed down through the lineage of Omm Sety with a variety of lineages for yogic practices. Yogic practices will be mostly kundalini kriya, breathwork, meditation, yoga nidra with some vinyasa or restorative to support the other modalities.
While in Abydos for days 4-8, we will welcome in the morning sun with a kundalini practice and ritual. Throughout the day we will visit Seti I temple, meditation, Ancient Egyptian rituals, yoga nidra, hape ceremony, breathwork, foot bath, 1:1 consultations, group shares, integrations, and breakfast/lunch/dinner. There is additional option for spa service and a highly encouraged massage of the Ba to help open and understand energy blocks.
You will receive a kriya, a yogic practice, that can be completed for 40 or more days after to help with integration. Yogic practices will be lead by Celeste. We are trying to maintain a small group between 5-12. If over 5 are in attendance, then another certified Kundalini or Kriya teacher will be announced to assist.
Sacred Temples
While the temples were created with specific purpose, each person’s connection is different. We hope to guide you to your own meaning of these temples and how these energies can carry forward into your own life.
Luxor Temple
Tap into the complexities of your physical and energetic system. Schwaller called this the Temple of the Man. “The Temple of Luxor is in its own way, a model of the universe and a library of the functions of humanity within the grand cosmic scheme. And this is one of the marvels of Egypt.” -John Anthony West’s lecture titled “Symbolist Egypt & Frequency” Built approx. 1400BCE
Karnak Temple
Come back to your knowing of creation. Created for the Sun god, Amun, with attached temple for the goddess of union, Mut. This temple was build throughout different pharaohs with each creating an additional amount according to the Fibonacci sequence. Built approx. between 2055 BC and around 100 AD
Dendera Temple
Open to awe and the vitality of life. Honoring the goddess Hathor, this a highly preserved, colorful temple featuring the 12 zodiacs. Built between 305 BCE and 30 BCE
Seti I Temple
Open your blockages and connect with natural forces. While Osiris is the main god of Seti I temple, the whole temple merges gods and goddesses built for optimal healing.

Built approx. 1279 BCE
