This trip is for those ready to embark on a powerful journey for earth, body, mind and spirit!
There is a powerful thread developing on my sacred tours where not only are we there to receive but we are also there to give and co-create in the Light for peace, harmony and love on our beloved planet Earth.
The Holy Land, and of course the path of Jesus et al, has been on my radar for several years now but as usual I have been waiting for the energy to call me clearly and for my heart and soul to know the right moment. And it's now.
For some of you, like me, it will be your first visit this lifetime and for others it will not but I do feel that for all of us going, it will be a returning, a healing and whole-ing on many levels.
I really hope that if this is trip calling, that you will answer.
Throughout the trip we will be treating it as a combination exploration and retreat. We will be staying in places like a: hip and happening hotel in Jaffa, Carmelite monastery on Mt Carmel in Haifa, German pilgrim house in Galilee, hotel within walking distance to the Old City in Jerusalem, dome tents in Wadi Rum and special village style hotel 12 kms from Petra.
Our optional extension tour into Jordan sees us: sleeping in camps under the stars, being awed by the incredible ancient city of Petra and visiting other ancient sites as we follow the leylines towards Amman. Jordan is blessed with an incredibly rich religious history. Christians, Muslims and Jews all regard the area around the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea as sacred. The Bible even refers to this land as ‘The Garden of the Lord.'
Jordan is a Muslim-majority country but the kingdom is also home to one of the oldest living Christian communities, as well as sites such as the Bethany Beyond the Jordan – where Jesus was baptised. There are also many beautiful churches dotted around the country, including the St George Church in Madaba where you can see the oldest mosaic map of the Holy Land.
I am excited that the energy of this long awaited trip has finally come together! This is going to be very very special on so many levels and something to cherish in your heart.
