Provisional details for 29^th November -  3^rd December 2008

“In 2007 5 of us organised a week away with no more than a general idea of rest, relaxation, meditation and maybe
some activity. To do so with a bunch of like minded individuals to share dinner / outings with when we felt like it:

“Day three and I’m starting to wish we were here for a fortnight instead of a week!”

 “The whole experience has had an air of unintentional co-ordination to it, as if we are getting a helping hand to ensure
nobody is getting stressed out”

In other words the actually exceeded the idea by far and so as an add on to the spiritual tour we are able to offer:”

More about Amr and Vicki

About Amr, your guide and escorting Egyptologist.

Amro is a registered tour guide,  Egyptologist with a degree from Cairo University Archeology School, and Sekhem
initiate. He was our guide in 2002, 2005, 2007 and has guided many tours of similar nature – but mainly he is simply a
magic guy.  Not only does he know the score, keeps us lot all right and just knows where to go, he is very tall for an
Egyptian and scares away all the hawkers and traders whom I imagine might otherwise be a pain.

 

Amr intends to bring to your Egyptian Mastery 2008

A very luxurious tour, where we will relax and unwind and still see every thing and even more, since we are not
rushed around the sites, we visit, relax, discover, shop, have lots of fun all in a great style.

 

About Vicki, group facilitator, personal and spiritual development guide.

Vicki is a holistic therapist and trainer focusing particularly on self empowerment through the use of hypnosis, ritual and
energy work. Vicki is a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor, holding professional qualifications in
both psychotherapy and law. Vicki’s esoteric training is listed below.

Vicki intends to bring to the 2008 Spiritual Tours and Lemurian Living Light: Egyptian Mastery 2008

a supportive and magical group – which if you are reading this  you will realise that group is already chosen. My
intention is to facilitate that group in personal and spiritual development through gentle group work i.e. - we will
connect and open as a group in order to enhance the whole experience and how far you take it will be left to you as an
individual. Tour 1 will also include yoga exercises, chanting, meditation and guided journeys, e.g. Egyptian Mystery
Schools, whenever the schedule and group energy allows. Tour 2 is a journey in every sense, we start to prepare upon
booking, receive guidance on the first day, then give the outer experience over to our Bedouin guides, inner
experiencesto our guides within facilitated by the silence of the dessert, our journals, story telling and gentle group
process. The walk up Mount Sinai will be prepared for as a group, the actual experience will be your own. Big shifts
are made on these 3 days and closure and feedback will be facilitated on the last day. Tour 3 will also have opening
and closing ceremonies, it is time for those that have taken this journey since day 1 to integrate all the fantastic
experiences they have had, and for those joining us to chill out from the busy schedule at home. So there will be a
welcome meeting at the beginning and a farewell meeting at the end. There will be meditations/yoga offered every
morning and predinner meetings on at least one evening. The rest of your time will be free unless you are participating in the masters training.
My task will be to facilitate the groups needs during this, to help individuals where necessary and fit it
all in with Amr’s amazing programme.

Vicki Rebecca’s Esoteric Training

It's not easy to quantify and verbalise the exact route of such study, mine began a long, long time ago. I remember
writing endless journals sat on the banks of the River Dee in my early teens, doing spirit releasement work, and
reciting affirmations. I remember my granma teaching me the basics of herbs from her garden, the qualities of her
soups and other foods, how to dowse for the sex of an unborn child and dream of the face of your husband to be,
the younger adults in the family called it her "old wives tales". My granma was with us until she was 96 and a great
great granma. 
She was my first teacher.

As a teen I was fascinated by the tarot, astrology and astronomy although I have had very little formal training. I was
drawn to esoteric groups and all things "alternative" during my 12 years in London and travels round the world in my
twenties. As with many people my thirties brought an interest in physical fitness and mental clarity - transcendental
meditation, yoga and the beginning of my journey into energy work….

I've taught Reiki since 1999, first studying it in 1994 with my Mum and then other teachers around Scotland. I first
studied Egyptian Sekhem with Simon Treselyan in London in 2000 and completed masters with him along with
Cartouche Mastery and initiation to the Order of Melchizedek during a trip to Egypt in 2002. I dipped into SKHM with
Patrick Zeigler (approx 2003). I studied Sekhem in London with Jonathan Cohen 2000-2001. I then decided to complete
training to the Helen Belôt Sekhem Association standards, I had avoided energy associations until then as I find the
politics difficult and stultifying. However here was something offering itself as a complete system and I believed at that
time a good basis to teach from. So because of the interesting albeit scenic route my training had taken until that point
I decided to get the rest directly from the horse’s mouth. I spent a week studying and living with Helen in November
2004 in Australia. During this period Helen believed she wasn't long for this earth and passed to me and 5 other
masters the secrets of a "new technique" which she had used to repair her own heart during illness. I remained an
endorsed teacher with Helen for 4/5 years, training many masters during that time. Perhaps inevitably the rigidity and
control began to outweigh the joys and benefits of the system and in 2007 I joined the ranks of the great “defrocked”
having fallen out of favour with Helen. I continue to teach all I've learned giving credit where credit is due. So now I
teach Reiki and "Egyptian Sekhem" (having no desire to infringe copyright laws). I am at present negotiating affiliation
with The Association of Energy Therapists so that my students may become associates with and insure through the
British Complimentary Medicine Society (BCMA) and keep high standards of practice without being tied to one particular
system.

All of this has occurred in perfect synchronicity for me as for some time now I have found myself and my groups
moving away from systems healing and moving towards teaching what is right for the individual student / group at the
time of the workshop. Yes there must be some kind of accountability, basic standards met and a strong initial
foundation given but without the rigidity that can come from too much control. So now I feel free to teach others and
share knowledge and information in a dynamic way. I do this through hands on training and practice; personal
development work; and holistic healing; as well as through manuals and distance learning, and always to the
enhancement of the energy that is coming through at the time. This is particularly true of experiences at the sacred
sites where "the agenda" is apparently written by a higher power, or a will greater than our own.

Other training and great teachers I have been blessed to work with include Hypnopsychotherapy with Sue Washington; 
Crystal Therapy and Colour Therapy with Sue Richter; NLP with Bandler McKenna and Breen; Spirit Releasement,
Soul Retrieval and Past life Regression with Irene Louis; a little TFT and EFT, health and fitness; aromatherapy
through my wonderful sessions with Jacqui Christie of OrganicaJ, herbal medicine through same with Judy Patterson,
Yoga with Pam Welsh; Indian Head Massage; Raindrop Technique, QV and Tibetan Reflexology with Yvonne Jevrons
and who knows what next....

…at present I am doing my best to encapsulate the essence of the above under the heading of:

Lemurian Living Light - Egyptian Mastery 2008

This course will be followed up by:

Lemurian Living Light – The Callanish Connection March 2009

Lemurian Living Light – Andean Mastery - Peru October 15 2009
