Cairo – Luxor
As you settle in for your first night at the Mena House, a cool breeze carries the scent of flowers from the beautifully kept gardens into your room.

And what a sight to see the sun embrace the majestic Sphinx!
Take advantage of this opportunity to birth your power and join us in Egypt. This experience is for you if you’re longing for inner balance and the courage to withstand any challenge that comes your way. Imagine spending seven nights in Egypt among like-minded pilgrims who share your need to step up their inner guidance and discernment.
We’ll travel to Egypt’s holy places during our retreat and deepen our insights by sharing our lived experiences and holding space for one another.
This pilgrimage was thoughtfully and purposefully put together to help you find your sacred purpose and inner calm amid the external factors that are constantly changing. With an emphasis on connection and self-discovery, it’s time to regain your sense of self and own your power.
Our 7-day spiritual pilgrimage includes unique private visits to the Sphinx and the Pyramids and holy visits to Sekhmet Chapel and Priestess Chapel, among other magical portals. Experience the once-in-a-lifetime wonder of Dendera during the yearly sun alignment event at the Mamisi (birth house). Witness the sun’s rays illuminating the false door and cobras representing Sekhem (kundalini ) energy that still transports you to the other realm
during the tail end of the Samhain portal. Activate your life force energy to own your power fully this November at Hathor’s Temple.

Mastering the Buddha Nature Within
November 8th – 17th, 2023
Bhutan
If you’re a hard-working, heart-based entrepreneur who’s craving time to unplug, clear your mind, refresh, and refill your spiritual cup – then join us for 10 days of deep immersion into the pristine nature of the Tantric Buddhist country of Bhutan. There you’ll have the time to connect with your inner compass and come back home with a renewed passion for all you’re creating in your life and business.
Through meditation, chanting, prayer, ceremony, and connecting the local people, you’ll expand your consciousness and practice cultivating the compassion and loving-kindness of the Buddha within (for others, and most importantly – for yourself).
This trip is designed to strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom, love, and compassion. In this challenging world of ours, learning to put the Buddha’s teachings into practice in our lives and businesses (in the most practical of ways!) is the focus of our group time together.
The people of Bhutan are Tantric Buddhists who have a Shamanistic background called Bon, and a fantastic history filled with strange legends and mythologies!
In fact, one of the highlights of our journey is a special pilgrimage up to the sacred site called Tiger’s Nest, which marks the spot where the beloved Guru Rinpoche flew on the back of a flaming tigress! Indeed, the monasteries are magical and beautiful in ways that I cannot begin to describe.
You’ll have the opportunity to spend a day at the Black Necked Crane Festival, and you’ll also visit the very rare and endangered cranes in Phobjikha. The festival is held in the courtyard of the sacred Gangtey Gompa, the oldest and largest Nyingma Buddhist monestary in Bhutan, and this celebration is not to be missed!
And as a special gift, a Lama will be preparing a prayer and blessing ceremony just for us.
As service is an important part of our spiritual experience, you are welcome to bring children’s books, blankets or anything you would like to donate to the Bhutanese people during our visit. Bhutan cannot be described in any way – you simply must visit and experience the beauty of the both the landscapes and the amazing people!

Hi! Still wondering about a possible Ireland/Scotland trip in 2018. Don’t see an answer to my previous request. Thanks. Shirley

Hi,
Really interested to do a Hawaii retreat.
Is there one this year?
Would love to join if there’s a scheduled one line up.
Many thanks
Hi Rita!
We don’t have anything to Hawaii this year love – so sorry!
Blessings, Sheri
Hi Rita!
We don’t have anything to Hawaii this year love – so sorry!
Blessings, Sheri
Do you have plans for a magical/mystical trip to Ireland/Scotland anytime next year (2018)?
I too am interested in an Ireland trip in 2018 or 2019
Any singles trips
Dear Lisa,
We do not have any singles trips at this time. We found that they were not popular as most folks who go on retreats do not go as a couple anyway. They are there to improve themselves not to find a partner.
Blessings, Sheri
What about people over 65? Are there any trips that especially cater to us elderly who are in good enough physical shape and still on the spiritual journey?
Dear Mary,
The average person on a spiritual journey is probably around 50 so you would not feel out of place. As long as you are in good shape – why not? We had two people who were 70 join us in Bhutan last year and they did great.
Blessings, Sheri
@Sil: I agree 🙂 I am wondering where to find the couple’s trips here on the site?
@Sheri: My fiance and I interested in locating a spiritual trip here. Even more intriguing is if you have spiritual wedding ceremony information that you’d be happy to share! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated <3
Dear Cindy,
We don’t have an couples trips right now – but I’ll email you regarding a spiritual wedding. 🙂
Blessings & love, Sheri
Hi Sheri,
We talked a while ago, had a nice connection, and you said you would be interested in exploring a mutually supportive relationship between JOTS and the Evolving Conscious Health Community Cruise that I am organizing for the non-profit OxyGenesis Institute, of which I am director. I am finally up and running with the website launched and all, but would like to follow up on our earlier conversation. Please visit the website and contact me from there? http://myholisticcruise.com
Thank you!
In Joy,
Lois Grasso
Dear Journeys,

Kind Regards
Melanie Spears
