After 20+ years of dedicated study including nine excursions to Egypt,
Gloriel now shares her knowledge of Ancient Egyptian Teachings (AET)
combining the metaphysical aspects with cultural, historical,
anthropological and archeological studies on Ancient Egyptian civilizations.
Retreat also includes frame drum and movement sessions
with Danse Orientale artist Tahya and
a workshop to 'Create Your Own Cartouche in Hieroglyphs'
with Bella Scrittura Calligraphy.
En'shallah, weekend will culminate with a visit to the famed
"Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibit
at the Franklin Institute.
