About this Event
Barbara is juiced from returning from her spiritual pilgrimage to Egypt and ready to share with you her personal experience as well as the ancient metaphysical knowledge she has accumulated over the years.
This is a spiritual pilgrimage and what makes this different from your average trip to the museum (or to any place) is that you will be noticing the effect that the objects in the Egyptian collection have on your body and spirit.
The Met Museum has an extensive Ancient Egyptian collection. Many pieces are thousands of years old. As an ancient being yourself, you will notice that certain objects, symbols, messages and even jewelry may “light you up.” You may get a heavy or excited feeling in a certain part of your body – your stomach, abdomen, top of your head. You will be encouraged to notice any reactions your body is having while walking through the exhibits. We will stop as a group periodically to share and read these energies using our clairvoyance.
You will discover the spiritual practices & ancient rituals of ancient Egypt. Stand in front of ancient statues of Sekhmet – the goddess of healing (and destruction) – and get a healing. Learn the meaning of living a good life through a room of papyrus containing all the spells from the Book of the Dead. You may even have the chance to see your ancient self in a 6000 year old mirror!
We will be a tight group of 6-10 people so this event has limited availability.
What the recent participants are saying:
“Oh my, that was one of my best days in NYC! I loved loved the pilgrimage to the Met with you. It was rich with spiritual experiences, meaning and relevant information that I was genuinely fascinated by. Your communication style was clear, gentle, humble, accessible and meaningful. I am so grateful, thank you!”
—Martha L.
“With Barbara as my guide, I saw the Met’s Egyptian collection with fresh eyes and truly felt transported—temporally, spiritually, even cosmically. Our morning together left me with so much to chew on—ancient rituals and spiritual beliefs, history, mystery, and she introduced me to my new favorite deity. It was an incredible, lasting experience! The joy and inspiration has stayed with me.”
—John
“Thank you Barbara, for an informative, heart centered and interesting tour through the Egyptian wing of the met! It was fascinating and helpful to hear how highly the Egyptians valued a light heart when leaving this life. Thank you for pointing out the Book of the Dead Papyrus and some of what it contained! Also learning about the goddess Sekhmet as a healer and protector, was fascinating. Thank you also for the solar plexus chakra practice! I am still meditating on many things you taught us about this ancient culture.”
—Much Gratitude, Demitra V.I loved this tour of the Egyptian wing. As a New Yorker who frequently visits the Met Museum, I often walk through and quickly look at the Egyptian artifacts. However on Barbara's tour I saw things I have never noticed or took the time to consider. It was enlightening to look at the exhibition in a new way. I definitely plan on going back to revisit some of the pieces we spent time with. I also plan on experiencing Barbara's spiritual tours again. Highly recommend her spirituality in the city tours for New Yorkers and people visiting the city!—Andrea Renaud
