2014 Sacred Sites Journeys
APRIL 2014: EASTER ISLAND
With Andrea Mikana-Pinkham and Mark Amaru Pinkham
Sacred Journey to Mysterious Easter Island, April 27 - May 3, 2014
TOUR REGISTRATION CLOSED
Few
places have captured the imaginations of world travelers like Easter Island. Intriguing
legends and myths abound regarding the small Pacific island paradise that is alternately
known as Rapa Nui, the “Navel of the World.”
Who can say with certainty what advanced civilization carved and moved into place
the colossal 887 moai stone heads that dot the island, the largest of which is 32 feet
tall and weighs 82 tons?
Furthermore, what is ancient Hiva, the giant continent that Easter Island was once part
of?
And does that ancient motherland have any relation to the abundance of roads
on the island that mysteriously disappear into the sea?
And why was the island chosen to be the guardian of the gigantic Pacific triangle that
Polynesia sits within?
And, finally, is the entire island of Rapa Nui an interdimensional portal of some kind?
Imagine having the opportunity to walk among the towering moai statues on Easter Island!
For many of us such an event is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream!
During our Sacred Sites Journey to Easter Island we will not only walk among these
guardians of the past
but seek to unlock their most hidden mysteries through meditation and ritual.
We'll also learn the most current and esoteric theories regarding Rapa Nui’s past, as
well as its function in the new era….
while at the same time creating a few of our own!

According to Andean Elders and the Dalai Lama the most powerful center of earth energies
shifted from the Himalayas
(masculine energy) to the Andes (feminine energy) a little over 17 years ago.
Since that time, many serious spiritual seekers have been drawn to come home
to the powerful nurturing energies of the Andes, to connect with the Pachamama,
the Mother Earth,
for their own personal healing.
The
ancient Inca legend of the Pachacuti ("Turning of the World") or the New Dawn or New Sunrise
says that when the Eagle from the North flies with the Condor from the South,
peace will return to the Americas and spread throughout our world.
Travel with us to meet your Condor brothers and sisters and experience the peace of
the Pachamama
as Her Children extend to you their heartfelt welcome to this spiritual wonderland.
You'll be able to participate in the connection of the energies with
your South American
"Condor" Brothers and Sisters....assisting in the fulfillment of the ancient
prophecy of returning peace to our Earth!
Mystical
Retreat at Machu Picchu, the ancient City of Light
During
our 3 days at one of the world's most powerful sacred sites,
we'll have three entrances into Machu Picchu for group and individual exploration.
And while we're at the ancient site, Andrea will faciliate meditations and sacred rituals
to assist you to tap into the transformational energies that are still present in its
various temples.

IMPORTANT! We will not be offering another Sacred Sites Journey to Scotland for a
while,
so if the Bonny Isle is beckoning you, we invite you to come with us NOW!
Bonnie Scotland beckons you to come and explore its vast beauty and immeasurable
treasures!
History buffs, archeologists, nature lovers and the adoring connoisseurs of quaint and
regal Scottish culture
will all find something to cherish in this magnificent land of wind-swept emerald hills,
pastures and glens.
Scotland’s historical tradition dates back
to 3500 BCE and includes many of the oldest Neolithic settlements in Europe,
including Kilmartin Glen, Temple Wood Stone Circle, and Maes Howe in the Orkney Islands.
The magic of the Celts and their enlightened Druids also survives in Scotland at many
power spots, such as the Island of Iona,
which was anciently known as the “Island of the Druids.”
Scotland is, of course, the land of the fiercely
independent Scots,
the hardy breed of bagpipe-playing Highlanders clothed in colorful tartan kilts
who courageously threw off the yoke of the imperialist English.
It is the land of the indomitable Scottish leader William Wallace (remember Braveheart?),
as well as the adopted home of the mighty Knights Templar
who helped the Scots achieve independence at the Battle of Bannockburn
and then deposited their esoteric secrets and Holy Grail treasures in such mysterious
places as Rosslyn Chapel.
If you listen closely you can still hear the voices of the ancient Knights echoing
throughout the land: “Come to Scotland,”
they say, “the land where great mystery and adventure never sleeps!”

SPECIAL
HIGHLIGHT
The November 2014 Sacred
Journey of Initiation offers you a unique opportunity to come to Egypt
for a life-altering experience that will
transform you in many positive ways!
Egypt
is the ancient home of the rites of spiritual initiation and dramatic transformation
(alchemy).
Legends state that Thoth-Hermes brought these rites from Atlantis and then oversaw the
construction
of numerous temples and pyramids throughout Egypt to facilitate them.
Our
Sacred Journey of Initiation is scheduled to correspond to the period when these temples
will have their strongest impact on us.
At that time in November 2014 all the transiting planets will either be in Scorpio, the
sign of initiation
and transformation, or will be intimately influenced by those that are.
Like
the enlightened initiates of old, our journey will commence as we enter the reactivated
temples
and pyramids of Egypt and undergo special alchemical rites.
For example, in Abydos, home of the Osirian Mysteries, we will study the
alchemical hieroglyphs
which explain the process of initiation and transformation as the Osirian adepts once knew
it.
We will also pay homage to all those initiates by visiting the adjoining 12,000 year tomb
of the archetypal initiate, Osiris.
Our journey of transformation will be highlighted by the special rites and meditations
observed
in the Temple of Isis in Philae, the Temple of Sobek/Haeoris in
Kom-Ombo, the Temple of Horus at Edfu,
the Temple of Hathor at Dendera, and the Sekhmet Chapel and Temple of Ra in Karnak.
The final and most dynamic initiation will occur in the King’s Chamber of
the Great Pyramid!
Finally,
just as the Osirian adepts did thousands of years before us, each of us will rise
resurrected from the "sarcophagus"
as spiritually reborn initiates in the most ancient tradition of Thoth-Hermes.
During
our daily on-site meditations, you'll receive transformative initiations from the
Neters
(the
Egyptian Gods & Goddesses who are aspects of Nature and your own consciousness).
Special Offerings in the GIZA AREA 
Explore the
Initiation into the Greater Mysteries of Hathor
Includes visit to the Crypt and
the Dendera Zodiac

Strengthen
your Higher Self Connection through an Initiation with Horus at his
Temple at EDFU

The
Power of Travel to Transform Our Lives
By Andrea
Mikana-Pinkham, Director of Sacred Sites Journeys
A person
needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places.
One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.
If you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your
deepest instinct,
then your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
- Author Katherine Butler Hathaway
These are powerful words! When Mark Amaru Pinkham and I founded our sacred travel
company in 1993, it was with the goal of supporting people to travel to sacred sites
around the world for spiritual growth and transformation. In the past twenty years that
we’ve been operating and leading our Sacred Sites Journeys groups, we’ve observed many
positive changes in the lives of the people who travel with us. Below is the scenario you
can expect if you decide to journey with us, though of course how it will play out in your
life will be unique to you.
First of all, you will encounter
the “call” to journey, often at a time when you may
be at a turning point in your life. You will have a deep inner knowing that your sacred
travels will benefit you in ways that you do not yet understand. Your affirmative response
to this irresistible pull from your Higher Self, and the step you take to register for your Sacred Sites Journey will often create a whole new set of
possibilities for your life. It offers a shining promise of both an exciting outer and
inner adventure.
Once the decision is made to go on your sacred journey, and the registration is submitted
to us to tell Spirit that you are making this commitment, the material
provisions for your journey will
appear. We have witnessed many miracles of Spirit over the past twenty years, as
abundance has been bestowed easily, peacefully and joyfully upon our fellow travelers.
God/Goddess will reward you too for your courage to undertake the journey, with both all
the material and spiritual provisions you will need. The money will become available for
you to pay for your journey. And spiritual provisions such as
courage, cheerfulness, self-esteem, willingness to listen, mental clarity, tact, openness
to change, generosity of Spirit, honesty, flexibility, and of course love will manifest in
your life, for you to take with you on the journey.
At this point, you may want to ponder the personal goal of
your journey, which is ultimately to bring back a higher and richer knowledge of yourself,
that which makes you more whole. Knowing that you have within yourself the power to
accomplish any goal that you set out to attain, you also know that it’s necessary to
first set your goals for your journey. Keep them simple. Maybe write them down to take
with you, so that you can look at them each day, maybe even several times a day.
Then comes the time to leave home and the familiarity of your everyday life, time for your
spiritual pilgrimage - the Hero’s Journey to the Heart of your
Being. On each of our Sacred Sites Journeys we offer you the opportunity to
experience the transformative energies of the world’s most important sacred sites.
These power spots can induce profound changes in consciousness. When you come into contact
with their higher frequencies, change does happen, whether you are aware of it at the
time, or later. You can easily and peacefully let go of long held psychological and
emotional blocks. We support and assist you to accomplish this through group and/or
private meditation time, as well as through optional group ceremonies and rituals. By using these powerful spiritual tools to
release, you become stronger and more complete. Born anew and ready to return home to face
life in a new and deeper way, more aware of the fullness of your Self.
Then it’s time to return home, and not the same as when
you left. Don’t worry, you’re still You! Just a new and
improved You! It’s a good idea to give yourself a bit of time for re-entry and
not rush back into your life. Allow a bit of time to reorder your life around the new You.
Take time for the sacred undertakings you have received support you as you accommodate
your enlarged identity. Establishing this new harmonious balance in your life is essential
to the journey.
It’s also time to share your sacred travel experience
with your fellow travelers. Stay in touch with your new Sacred Sites Journeys friends and family. We’ve seen
lifelong friendships and even several marriages develop out of our trips! It’s also
time to share with your family, friends, co-workers, and sometimes perhaps even with
complete strangers. As the ripples from your experience flow out into the web of life, you
will be supporting others to listen to the call of their
Higher Self and also make their Hero’s Journey to their True Self! What better gift
can you give yourself and the world?
The excursions to sacred sites offered by Sacred Sites Journeys are not tours
– they are spiritual pilgrimages.
Sacred Sites Journeys was
founded to provide opportunities for seekers to travel to the world’s sacred sites
to undergo initiations just like the initiates of the past once did.
Through offering ritual, meditation, and other spiritual practices we are committed
to creating
the energized environments that are most conducive to the healing of past traumas
and the activation (or further activation) of spiritual vision and abilities.
On a Sacred Sites Journeys pilgrimage you will not only be transported to a dynamic
and exotic sacred site,
but to places within yourself that only the initiates of the past knew existed.
