Sacred Earth Journeys - Newsletter 2005

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
