Journeys Newsletter – March/April 2005
Spring Greetings!
We have some exciting new tours to tell you about! From September 27-October 6,
2005 we invite you to join Richard Jelusich, Ph.D. on a sacred journey to
modern and ancient Mexico - The Land of the Aztec & Maya. Travel
back in time to the mysterious land of the ancient civilizations that have
contributed to the present day harmonious blend of Mexico's numerous sacred
temples and complex traditions. During the tour, Richard will present lectures
about these ancient civilizations and their metaphysical connections, as well as
offer guided meditations at the sacred sites. I had the pleasure of meeting
Richard on a couple of occasions and found him to be an authentic healer, gifted
psychic, and his readings profoundly self-empowering. See below under
"Featured Tours" for full details. I hope you will join us!
Other Sacred
Journeys programs for 2005 include Mystical Sedona, April 27-May
1, our annual Inca Mysteries & Magic tour to Peru, June 10-23, and
the Land of the Pharaohs, Sacred Temples and Ancient Illumination tour to
Egypt in November. These tours are filling up quickly, so book early to
avoid disappointment.
“The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown weaves a web linking a hunt for the Holy Grail
with tales of religious conspiracies and Roman Catholic secret societies. A key
role is given to the Rosslyn Chapel, an ornate medieval church six miles
south of Edinburgh. Many of its stone carvings depict medieval symbols, some
relating to the mysterious Knights Templar and to Freemasonry. Our own expert,
Mark Amaru Pinkham, who has recently released his book, Guardians of the
Holy Grail: The Knights Templar, John the Baptist, and the Water of Life,
will be leading two pilgrimages to delve deeper into these mysteries - the
Holy Grail & Black Madonna Pilgrimage to France, May 12-21, and the
Mystical Holy Grail & Knights Templar Pilgrimage to England & Scotland
in July, where you will visit Rosslyn Chapel. Please join us!
On our Yoga Tour &
Retreats programs, we have just posted a new Yoga & Spirituality Tour
of North India, Oct 19-Nov 4. Highlights include an Ashram stay in Rishikesh, a
Nature Camp stay (Jungle walks, wildlife safari, Campfires, Rafting on the
Ganges), visits to Sri Krishna's birthplace, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur, and other
holy sites of the Hindus & Muslims - and of course Yoga & Meditation throughout!
Opportunities for Yoga AND Surf remain with Swellwomen in Maui
Apr-Jun, Aug & Nov (see below for special discounts!), and with Eoin Finn in
the Baja in July.
I will be on tour in Costa Rica Mar 21-Apr 3, and will be investigating "Family
Tour" options. If anyone is interested in travelling with their children, please
let me know! Please read on for the highlights and check our website
www.sacredearthjourneys.ca for all the details.
Namaste,
Helen Tomei
