April 7, 2024 at 06:04PM
Over the course of their long history ancient Egyptians faced many of the same challenges facing our world today and they learned to recover from setbacks by creating a resilient cultural model that endured cycles of growth and decline for over 3,000 years of recorded history. Their culture perpetuated while adapting and transforming. In their surviving records are myths, principles, and practices that provide us with much-needed perspectives that may contribute to our own renewal and capacity to regenerate our culture.
Our time together will include a slide presentation illustrating how ancient Egyptian wisdom practices are portrayed in their exquisite art, architecture, sacred texts and literature. A guided meditation will activate your personal imagery and we will conclude with a Q&A.
