The Reclamation Retreat

A Sacred Journey through Egypt: Luxor to Aswan

Saturday 6th - Friday 12th November 2027

Remembrance. Reclamation. Radiance

Some journeys take us to extraordinary places. Others open us to extraordinary possibilities within ourselves. Reclamation invites you to experience both.

Perhaps Egypt has been calling to you for years. Its ancient temples, powerful symbolism, the mystery of its civilisation and the timeless flow of the Nile stirring something within you. A sense of curiosity, intrigue or perhaps even familiarity that you can’t quite explain.

Imagine waking to the golden light of sunrise over the river, exploring sacred temples that have stood for thousands of years, and sharing moments of wonder, laughter and connection with like-hearted souls.

Join us for seven unforgettable days of discovery, adventure, connection and celebration. A lovingly curated journey where ancient wisdom meets intuitive exploration, where there’s space for peaceful reflection and joyful discovery, and where you’re invited to reconnect with your inner wisdom, rediscover your gifts and embrace more of the fullness of who you are. An invitation to remember, reclaim and radiate your unique light into the world.

Reclamation welcomes both women and men to share in this extraordinary journey, reflecting the ancient Egyptian symbolism of masculine and feminine energies coming together in harmony and wholeness.

The Magic of Egypt, the Nile and the 11:11 Gateway

There is something truly special about experiencing Egypt both on land and from the water. From exploring magnificent ancient temples and connecting with their stories, symbolism and energies, to slowing down and simply watching life unfold along the banks of the Nile.

For thousands of years, the Nile has been the lifeblood of Egypt, bringing nourishment, abundance and renewal to the land and its people. As we sail along this beautiful river, we’ll have time to settle into its gentle rhythm, enjoy the changing scenery and perhaps find ourselves reconnecting with our own natural flow.

November is a wonderful time to visit Egypt. With the intense summer heat behind us, we can enjoy warm, sunny days and more comfortable temperatures for exploring the temples, relaxing on deck, watching the sunrise or simply taking in the beauty around us.

And there’s something especially meaningful about our journey culminating on 11/11. This portal is often associated with spiritual awakening, alignment and new beginnings. What a beautiful time to gather together on the Nile for our closing ceremony, honouring the journey we’ve shared, celebrating the gifts we’ve rediscovered and setting intentions for the possibilities we’re ready to bring to life.

Is this calling to you?

- Have you been longing to say yes to an experience that excites you, inspires you and invites you to explore somewhere extraordinary?

- Have you felt drawn to ancient Egypt, its fascinating history, sacred sites and mysteries, perhaps without quite knowing why?

- Are you curious about what you might discover when you step away from everyday life, open yourself to new experiences and explore more of who you are and what’s possible for you?

If these questions resonate, perhaps Reclamation is calling you.

Introducing the Reclamation Retreat

Imagine exploring the wonders of ancient Egypt, with the freedom to immerse yourself in its history, culture and sacred energies, while enjoying the comfort and beauty of a truly special journey along the Nile.

Our journey begins in Luxor, where we’ll gather for our welcome evening and visit the beautiful Temple of Hathor at Dendera, staying at a 5 star hotel for two nights. From there, we’ll board our privately chartered luxury dahabiya, our floating sanctuary for four unforgettable nights. As we sail towards Aswan, the Nile becomes our pathway to Egypt’s extraordinary sacred sites, with time to explore on land and enjoy the peaceful rhythms of life on the water.

Along the way, we’ll weave together guided meditations, immersive sound and drum journeys, intuitive energy work, sacred ceremonies and opportunities for personal exploration. Each experience will be lovingly created and intuitively guided, drawing on the unique gifts of your facilitators and the inspiration of the places we visit. There will also be plenty of time to relax on deck, watch life unfold along the river, enjoy delicious food, share laughter and conversation, or simply savour a peaceful moment to yourself.

Reclamation isn’t simply about rediscovering who we are. It’s about what becomes possible when we choose to trust ourselves and live from that place.

Ancient Wisdom and Sacred Symbols

Ancient Egypt is rich with symbols, stories and traditions that have fascinated and inspired people for thousands of years. Many speak to themes that are still meaningful today such as love, courage, balance, renewal and the cycles of life.

Throughout our journey, we’ll draw inspiration from the gods and goddesses, sacred symbols and natural elements associated with the temples and places we visit. From Hathor’s joy and Sekhmet’s fierce love, to the magic of Isis, the renewal of Osiris and the strength and clarity of Horus. We’ll also connect with the Ankh as a key to our wholeness and the beautiful Blue Lotus, inviting us to open to higher awareness. Each offers an opportunity to explore different qualities within ourselves, discovering what we may be ready to remember, reclaim and bring more fully into our lives.

Guided by our inner wisdom and inspired by the places we visit, we’ll weave these energies into our meditations, sound journeys, sacred ceremonies and healing experiences, creating space for each person to explore and receive what feels meaningful to them. There’s no need for any previous knowledge or experience. Simply bring your curiosity and an openness to discovering what resonates with you.

Sacred Sites & Experiences:

Accompanied by our dedicated Egyptologist, we’ll explore the fascinating history, mythology and sacred symbolism of ancient Egypt, bringing its extraordinary temples and stories to life.

Luxor & Dendera: The Beginning of Our Journey

Dendera Temple of Hathor

Begin our sacred journey in the beautiful temple of Hathor, goddess of love, music and joy. A wonderful invitation to open our hearts, celebrate life and welcome the possibilities ahead.

Karnak & Luxor Temples

Walk amongst towering columns, magnificent statues and ancient carvings, experiencing the grandeur of these remarkable temples. At Karnak, we’ll also connect with the powerful symbolism of Sekhmet, goddess of protection, courage and transformation, inviting us to embrace our own strength and inner fire.

The West Bank & Along the Nile

Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut & Colossi of Memnon

Discover magnificent royal tombs, breathtaking architecture and the extraordinary stories of Egypt’s rulers, exploring themes of courage, legacy and renewal.

Edfu Temple of Horus

Step into one of Egypt’s best-preserved temples, dedicated to Horus, whose symbolism of strength, clarity and vision invites us to recognise and trust our own inner power.

Kom Ombo Temple

Explore this fascinating double temple dedicated to Sobek and Haroeris, where contrasting energies meet, inviting reflection on balance, harmony and the different aspects of ourselves.

Aswan: A Beautiful Culmination

Philae Temple of Isis

Journey across the Nile to this beautiful island temple dedicated to Isis, goddess of magic, healing and renewal. A fitting place to honour the gifts we’ve rediscovered and the possibilities awakening within us.

Beautiful Places to Stay, Extraordinary Places to Explore

“Everything was so beautifully curated, Lynda’s attention to detail is exquisite. I felt like I was flowing through a moving meditation, for 6 days of multi-sensorial bliss. The moment I arrived, I felt safe and held; finally a chance to breathe and relax.”

Jo, Sanctuary Retreat

A Luxurious Welcome in Luxor

Our journey begins with two nights at the beautiful five-star Sonesta St George Hotel, set on the banks of the River Nile in the heart of Luxor. From its grand marble entrance and elegant interiors to its sweeping Nile views, this is a wonderful place to begin our Egyptian adventure. Imagine enjoying a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool, relaxing on the riverside terrace or indulging in the hotel’s spa facilities.

Here, we’ll gather for our welcome evening, share our first meal together and begin getting to know one another, with time to settle in and soak up the atmosphere of this extraordinary city.

Your Floating Temple on the Nile

Imagine waking to the gentle movement of the Nile, golden sunlight dancing across the water and the beautiful Egyptian landscape unfolding around you. For four unforgettable nights, we’ll make our home aboard the Per Ba Merkaba, a one-of-a-kind luxury dahabiya, privately chartered exclusively for our Reclamation group.

Lovingly created by two Egyptian women, this beautiful floating temple is so much more than a place to stay. Its name brings together Per Ba, meaning House of the Soul, and Merkaba, symbolising a vehicle of light and transformation. A fitting name for a vessel designed to nurture rest, connection and personal exploration.

With beautiful cabins, delicious freshly prepared vegetarian meals and welcoming spaces, you’ll feel truly cared for. Between temple visits, imagine relaxing on a sun lounger, soaking in the hot tub, sharing laughter with new friends or simply watching life unfold along the banks of the Nile.

What makes the Per Ba Merkaba particularly special is its dedicated space for sound, meditation and energy work, along with its beautiful Blue Lotus pond on deck, offering wonderful settings for the ceremonies and experiences we’ll share.

Our floating sanctuary: a place to rest, reconnect and embrace the magic of our journey together.

MEET YOUR HOSTS

Reclamation has been lovingly created by Lynda Gillingham and Hattie Northeast, bringing together our shared love of ancient Egypt, sacred wisdom and creating meaningful experiences that inspire personal discovery.

Together, with the support of Ben Dumpleton, we will create a welcoming space for exploration, connection and embracing new possibilities.

“Such a safe, supportive, and compassionate space. You’re always met exactly where you are, with no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.”

Nicky, Resonance Retreat

Lynda Gillingham

Transformational Coach, Sound Healer, Regression Therapist & Reiki Master

I love to create nurturing experiences that invite people to pause, reconnect with their inner wisdom and embrace the fullness of who they are.

Drawing on transformational coaching, sound healing, hypnosis, regression therapy and energy healing, I weave together guided journeys, immersive sound and reflection to support personal exploration, empowerment and meaningful change.

My training as a Priestess of Sacred Sound, rooted in ancient Egyptian teachings, has deepened my connection with sacred sound, voice and ritual. Also, as a Reiki Master trained in Egyptian Sekhem healing, I bring a rich blend of ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practices to the experiences that I create.

I've been running residential retreats for a few years across the sacred lands of the UK, Spain and Costa Rica. Each one has it's own life force and I work very intuitively to create bespoke journeys that have depth and meaning whilst also embracing joy. I also adapt the flow of the journeys to suit the needs of the group. This is one of my greatest honours in life and I am beyond excited about introducing the Reclamation to those who feel the call.

Hattie Northeast

Intuitive Channel and Teacher, Reiki Master & Energy Healer

Through Animal Echo, Hattie brings together her gifts in intuitive communication, channelled guidance and energy healing, supporting people to deepen their connection with themselves, their higher selves and the world around them.

Working with Reiki, Egyptian Sekhem and other healing energies, she offers intuitive readings, hands-on healing and energetic experiences, guided by the needs of each individual.

Her connection with ancient Egyptian energies and sacred symbolism brings a beautiful dimension to Reclamation, inviting guests to explore their intuition, receive personal insights and discover more of their own gifts.

Ben Dumpleton

Guest Facilitator: Intuitive Musician & Sound Practitioner

With over 23 years of musical experience, Ben brings a unique blend of intuitive music, sound and energy work to the experiences he creates.

His gift for channeling music deepened during his travels through South America, where he felt a profound connection with the energies of ancient sacred sites. Through his work with Guided Rhythms, he uses music, drumming and Reiki-inspired practices to create space for connection, inner exploration and personal discovery.

During Reclamation, Ben will share channeled drum journeys and Egyptian energy attunements, weaving his gifts alongside our sound journeys, meditations and healing experiences.

Here's what recent retreat guests had to say

"I feel so grateful for the experience I had at this retreat. Lynda is truly something special. She has an incredible ability to hold space for the group in a way that makes you feel safe, seen, and completely at ease. Her guided meditations were some of the most powerful moments for me. With her beautiful, calming voice, the sound of the crystal singing bowl and the drum, I found myself dropping into such a deep state of relaxation. I could really feel a strong sense of healing moving through me.

What I especially appreciate about Lynda is her presence. She truly sees you, while at the same time holding and caring for the whole group. There is something very warm, and grounding about the way she guides and creates a safe space for whatever may arise. I left the retreat feeling deeply relaxed, grateful, and touched by the experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend a retreat with Lynda to anyone who feels called to give themselves this kind of space."

Heidi, Sanctuary Retreat

"Working with Lynda has literally been life changing for me in so many ways. Her attention to detail, complete focus in the moment and listening skills provide a safe and supportive space, whether it be a one-day workshop, 1-2-1 work or on retreat - I have experienced them all.

Words cannot adequately express the difference Lynda has made to my life. She has been part of a journey of self-discovery, self-care and self-love. She is there every step of the way, ready to step in if required, while slowly and methodically removing and/or reframing the baggage of many lifetimes!".
