Soul of the Nile ~ January 9th - 21st 2026
An 12-Day Spiritual Odyssey in Egypt
Join us for an extraordinary journey of transformation and self-discovery, as A Soulful Connection collaborates with the inspiring Shahrzad Awyan to offer a one-of-a-kind spiritual retreat in the sacred land of Egypt. Over 11 unforgettable days, you’ll be guided through ancient temples, mystical sites, and energetic hotspots, immersing yourself in the profound wisdom of this timeless land.
Together, we’ll discover Shahrzad’s deep connection to Egyptian spirituality, creating a deeply healing and enlightening experience like no other. Imagine meditating at dawn near the Great Pyramid, connecting with the divine energies of Luxor’s temples, and stepping into the spiritual heart of humanity where ancient and modern worlds converge.
Every detail of this retreat is curated to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Alongside transformative rituals, personalized healing sessions, and guided meditations, you’ll connect with like-minded souls on the same path of inner growth and exploration. This journey will not only help you release old blocks and align with your true purpose but will also gift you the clarity and energy to manifest your most radiant life.
Step out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. Discover Egypt not just as a tourist, but as a seeker—a soul ready to awaken to its highest potential. This is more than a retreat; it’s the experience of a lifetime. Spaces are limited, so reserve your place today and begin your journey with us.
Born and raised at the very edge of the Giza plateau with all its PerNTR (Pyramids) and Tetnute (the Sphinx). Shahrzad is the first born of Dr. Abdel Hakim Awyan; one of the last indigenous wisdom keepers of ancient Khemit (Egypt). He was an Archaeologist & Egyptologist and Developer in the field of Khemitology, Hakim was widely sought after to lead many spiritual groups during his more than 30 years of working as a teacher and tour guide. Hakim started an information revolution that continues today through Shahrzad and her brother Yousef Awyan. Dr. Awyan’s work has been featured in several documentaries, the last of which was “The Pyramid Code Series.” Dr. Awyan was the last to do the 9 Initiations until Shahrzad became his successor.
We will experience the 9 Initiations along the Nile where we privately visit 9 ancient living libraries (Temples) and awaken our hidden gifts and powers to undo old patterns. Shahrazad will teach us the ancient Kemetic healing from Isis School which heals all chronic diseases by touching on the fire points on the human aura, (Isis healing magic), known today in Hawaii as Bio Touch. This is a unique experience of A Soulful Connection you don’t want to miss!
