Home from Egypt

Hello Dear Friends,
I am just home from leading my second tour to Egypt and it was as always, beyond words. I love to see the participants truly change; they feel seen and loved and begin to come from their hearts. We become a family due to Mohamed Nazmy, Emil, Shaker, and all the employees at Quest Travel who take such good care of us. Since there are fewer tourists we had most of the temples to ourselves and were able to do ceremony at each site. The divine truly is alive at these places and the energy exchange is experienced over and over and is profound. I am so grateful to have this opportunity to lead folks to Egypt, and to watch the changes. I love leading ceremony in these sites. So I am happy and thrilled.

I am also happy to be home to the cool and green Pacific Northwest. I am back to work in the final stages in preparing my book for printing about Mr. Nazmy and Quest Travel and his work in Egypt. I began this project in 2010 and so I am so excited to moving towards the actual birth. I will keep you all informed when the book is ready to buy. Thank you for your support and interest and enthusiasm for this project, and for you patience in that it has taken me longer than I had hoped.

It is a beautiful fall day here in Seattle and I am thinking about October 31st and November 1st because they are such important days in the Celtic Wheel of the Year.  Samhain is a day to make connection with the ancestors and those who have passed over. And the Celtic New Year begins on November 1st. It is a day to let go of the year, and clean the slate for the new. Having had some very powerful experiences at the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of Luxor, I feel even more strongly that those, in that other realm, are alive and well and we were meant to converse and communicate. The tombs are really doorways into the light of that other world. I always remember a Ram Dass quote about death, "It's like taking off a tight shoe." I imagine that the spirit freed is quite an amazing experience.

I will let you know more about my teaching schedule that will begin in January after the book is complete and out there in the world. I have some ideas I am getting excited about to share with you.

Sending love and light, Sharlyn

Hello Dear Friends,
What a lovely summer it is here in the Pacific Northwest. We are enjoying the sun. I am working on the final edits for my book about Mohamed Nazmy and his work in Egypt. He is a peace maker who brings people together from the West and the Middle East through his travel company Quest Travel. I began this book in 2010 and it is almost ready for publication. I couldn't have done it without all of the contributions I received through my Indiegogo Campaign and I am so grateful.  Here is a sneak preview of the cover!



I also am preparing for my 6th visit to Egypt since I first went there in 2007.  I'm leading a tour from September 6th through September 20th and I'm getting really excited to return to my heart home! Just thought I 'd share this picture of this powerful statue of Sekhmet, the lion goddess, that stands in her original home within Karnak Temple.  She is full of love and power and courage. Travelers who meet her have stories to tell about what she  has imparted to them. She holds the divine principle of awakening.



I have been busy doing written tree readings for folks who contributed to my Indiegogo Campaign and I have enjoyed seeing how helpful they can be. I tune into a tree, and it has a succinct message for each person I read for.  What a gift that the trees are willing to share with us!

Remember that Lammas, August 1st, is a day of celebration for our first harvests. It is called The Day of the Bread. Take some time out to give gratitude, and count your blessings, and acknowledge what you have  accomplished. Take a moment to give yourself a  pat on the back and to acknowledge yourself.



Sending lots of love and light to each of you, Sharlyn
