Depuis 2023, c’est avec joie que j’accueille des petits groupes en Égypte. Ce pays est un peu devenu mon pays de cœur, car j’ai arpenté ses terres depuis mon plus jeune âge. Notre destination était Héliopolis, une banlieue cossue du Caire où vivait ma grand-mère grecque, et nous profitions de nos vacances estivales en famille le long de la mer à l’ouest d’Alexandrie. Depuis l’enfance, j’ai été fascinée par l’Égypte pharaonique et les magnifiques temples qui se trouvent principalement le long du Nil. La richesse historique et culturelle de l’Égypte ne se limite pas à cela… Ce pays a été converti au christianisme par l’apôtre saint Marc, et le pays continue d’avoir une population importante de chrétiens de l’Église copte.

De nombreux monastères, églises et vestiges des premiers siècles de la chrétienté témoignent de ce passé qui a vu l’émergence du monachisme. En outre, l’Égypte dévoile une splendeur naturelle époustouflante, mêlant des décors variés : le majestueux Nil, véritable artère vitale, se distingue en tant que plus grand fleuve du globe, nourrissant terres cultivées et palmeraies ; puis s’étendent les régions désertiques, qu’elles soient blanches, noires, cristallines ou celles du Sinaï ; les oasis telles que Siwa, Bahareya, Farafra, Dahla et Kharga, habités par des populations bédouines ; la mer Rouge, abritant des récifs coralliens et des dauphins sauvages ; la mer Méditerranée, offrant ses plages de sable fin. Il y a donc une multitude de découvertes à faire !

meditate in the egyptian desert ans explore its oasis

13 - 21 décembre 2026

Discover the captivating world of deserts and oases in Egypt. We will spend time admiring the beauty of the place, walking in silence, meditating around a fire, admiring the stars and the Milky Way. We will explore oases that contain sacred sites, as well as Bedouin culture and crafts. We will organize our 4x4 Jeep excursions with our experienced driver in the desert. We will stay in individual tents in the desert and in charming hotels in the oases.

Discover Upper-Egypt and build your inner temple

12 - 21 février 2027

Discover the gems of harmony, beauty, and wisdom found in Pharaonic Egypt to rejuvenate yourself and get a sense of where our civilisation came from. I will provide you with traditional spiritual exercises during our journey so that you can start to develop your inner temple and shift your consciousness.

walking in the footsteps of the holy family

18 - 29 march 2027

Join me for an authentic experience in this blessed land of Egypt where the Holy Family took refuge when endangered by Herod.  This stay will allow you to discover the origins of Christianity, which we find in the myths of the ancient Egyptians. We will pray in the desert and in Coptic monasteries of the first Christians, and we will literally follow the journey of the Holy Family.  I am passionate about the Christian tradition, its origins and its esotericism and I will offer you spiritual practices, guided meditations, songs, simple rituals anchored in tradition as well as prayers dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
