Tour Description

SUE NICHOLSON
EGYPTIAN DREAMING 11:11
A spiritual journey through the sands of time.

After 3 booked-out tours in 2019 and again in 2023 I thought I was done… but you should never say never.
After lots of requests I decided on one more visit so I invite you to join me in 2025 in this amazing part of the world and take in even more of the wonders of this spiritual place.

I am looking forward to taking you all to experience this Ancient civilisation.

In 2011 I was being shown by spirit to travel to Egypt and take a tour. I had always been fascinated as most of us are with the mysteries of the place but I was not prepared when I arrived to see these massive magnificent building appearing there in front of me as we were driving towards them, and thought I’m here and these are the great Pyramids which I had seen in books and on TV it was just so much to take in.

I will open the energies and the portals for you to connect with the higher vibration so you can feel and sense as we travel and walk through the many different Temples

Imagine the experience of a meditation in Paws of the Sphinx. WOW!
I will open your Akashic records to see if you lived in the time of Egypt and who you were, we will have a special aura camera to photograph your aura at the beginning of the journey and again at the end….and much more.
Don’t forget to bring your walking shoes and let’s travel this journey of a life time together and make it happen.

I am partnering with Leisa McInnes from Pink Lotus Tours
Leisa will manage all the bookings and enquiries.
Her email is leisa@pinklotustours.com

See you all there
Live love laugh
