We will have our first class and meet up in Cairo in the afternoon/evening of May 7th. You can arrive a day or more early if you wish, which may be helpful to you for adjusting to time zone changes. This may also be good planning in case of flight changes. 

Ideally, we are all there and can have an opening class by 5 pm. However, it may be after dinner, depending on arrival times. 

We will finish all group activities on the 16th and you can depart anytime on the 17th. 

We can arrange extra nights at the hotel at your expense if you arrive early.   

Yes, this trip can be for you.  You can be as private as you like. There are no requirements to share. You could spend the whole week in silence and do the process as a silent retreat. You are invited to be a part of every process, but not required.

We offer a process and respect how each individual wants to do it. 

If you want to go off on your own at different times, or not show up for a class, you are free to do so.  All we ask is that you let your group leader know so we know you are taken care of and not looking for you when you don’t want to be found. 

PS. What many of us discovered was that our past experience of groups gave us that “not belonging” feeling because the group didn’t know how to be kind and accepting. This often happens at a young age. When you find the right group that is willing to accept you, just as you are, then we can shake off the “not a group person” narrative. 

You don’t have to share about your own process. You are allowed to be as private as you wish. It is entirely optional. 

We open up sharing opportunities during the day, or at evening class. Often someone’s realization or question helps another person with some issue they were wrestling with.  Most sharing happens in the casual social times in between and at meals. 

We are very careful to steer away from what would look like group therapy sharing.  That is not the path or processes we work with. You are more likely to be invited to spend parts of the day in silence, or to be guided inward for deeper self-inquiry. 

We will record the preparation and integration workshops. The recording will be available after the call and you can do the practices there in your own time. If you have a question that you want to be answered, you can post that beforehand and we will answer it during the call. Or we can answer in the community chat after the call. 

If you have questions, then other people probably do also, so it is good to ask them. 

1. If you feel excited when reading about it, but also a bit nervous and scared.
2. If you’ve done some previous work with observing and changing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and want to grow your self-awareness. 
3. If you feel motivated to take a big leap and experience unconditional love and expand your consciousness.

Answering yes to any of the above? Then you’re ready.
If your mind wants to complicate it more than that, it’s welcome to. But it really can be that simple.

We recommend the events over individual coaching. The amount of instruction for your dollar (peso, euro, crowns, or kuna, etc) goes way farther at events in person. 

The commitment involved in showing up, and the focused attention for several sustained days allow breaking through many more issues in a shorter time than you will do on your own. The processes are much deeper. Your connection and support in a group environment are more conducive to learning and change as well. 

The exception to this is if you are working through trauma issues. If you are triggered into trauma reactions of panic, etc., then be more gentle with yourself and do coaching sessions, or work with a professional in this area. At these Power Journey events we do many new and different approaches to challenge, change, and move consciously past your belief systems. For a person recovering from trauma, this may be too triggering to be helpful.

With that said we’ve had several people with trauma backgrounds coming to this journey. They have in combination with other support at home experienced major shifts to their inner world. What’s true for someone else might not be true to you. One critical element in the type of person that has experienced trauma, and will flourish or grow in a positive manner at these events is if you have high executive functioning in spite of your trauma history.  Feel into what you need and want. And reacth out to gary@(this website) if you have any questions.
