An Open Invitation to
the Heart of Egypt
with Dr. Imsara and Patricia M. Bowers
October 12 to October 26 2013
On a recent morning Patricia and I gazed deeply into the eastern sky witnessing Venus as it rose in the morning dawn. We suddenly found ourselves longing to return to Egypt. This longing arose from our many visits to Egypt and the experience of her people who had awakened our minds, left footprints of love in our hearts and stirred our souls to the mystery and magic of the Hathor's, stellar ambassadors of love and joy.
This took us back to remembering our first travel adventure together in 1998 to the Joshua State Forest in California. We both became aware of the Hathor's, the Egyptian goddesses of the sky, during our process of creating elixirs for the purposes of alchemical transformation. They seemed to appear via rainbow colored portals to guide and assist us in the process. These elixirs were later utilized in the Hologram of Self, a pyramid program designed to help further human growth and expansion.
From that day forward we found ourselves leading groups with a focus on personal transformation and evolutionary growth. We journeyed to the energy sites of Glastonbury, England, Mt. Shasta, Peru, Guatemala, the Yucatan and led multiple trips to Egypt.
It was during our early days of leading trips to Egypt, in 2002, we met a most remarkable and distinguished Egyptologist by the name of Emil Shaker. He quickly led us to the man he worked with, Mohamed Nazmy. Meeting this dynamic duo was like being handed the keys to Egypt, almost magically opening the doors to experiences and places that we never thought possible.
Finding Mohamed and Emil was like finding two lost brothers. They have meticulously planned all of our subsequent journeys to Egypt with the utmost in care, concern, respect, generosity, love and integrity. We found we could always trust their experience, their intuition and most of all their loving hearts to work with us to guide us into the fundamental center of each individual's unique need for their own connection to the heart of Egypt.
Mohamed envisioned a form of a sailing ship that reflected the days of ancient Egypt when the King and Queens sailed the Nile. He ultimately built this home away from home for us thus creating his magnificent sailing ship, “The Afandina.”
This marvel of the Nile has everything on it geared to the utmost in comfort, service and care so you can fully relax and enjoy all the bounty Egypt and her people have to offer. One of Mohamed's many pearls of wisdom was when he once told us to “just follow the thread.”
We open and extend to you an invitation to trust, to also follow the thread and make your dreams come true!
Please join us on a trip of a lifetime to the Heart of Egypt departing on October 12th to October 26th, 2013.
With open hearts, Patricia and Imsara
