Egyptian Dolphin Lotus Ceremonial Cruise

October 31 - November 6th

Location: The Red Sea, Egypt

Who’s IN to come celebrate my Birthday November 3rd on the Red Sea in Egypt?!!!

For one week we live aboard a private yacht in Sataya Lagoon, home to one of the world's largest resident populations of wild spinner dolphins.

 Throughout the week, we will deepen our connection with the Blue Lotus through ceremony, prayer, and communion with the waters. Revered as a flower of intuition, dreaming, and expanded awareness, the Blue Lotus helps us attune to the subtle realms, open the heart, and strengthen our connection to the wisdom carried by the dolphins and the sea. 

Music will be a central thread throughout our time at sea. From live performances, vocal activations and sacred song to spontaneous moments of connection with the dolphins, we will explore the ancient relationship between sound, vibration, and the waters, opening ourselves to the language that exists beyond words.

We will also be joined by a team of special guest musicians, sound healers and facilitators, including a special Rainbow Lotus Ceremony with Illup Gravengaard, alongside sound healing journeys, teachings on the intelligence of water, yoga, music, and practices designed to support integration and remembrance with space for you to share your gifts and your voice as well.

Limited Spaces! Let's Go!!!
