ALCHEMICAL LOVE
YOU’RE READY FOR LOVE THAT MATCHES YOUR DEPTH
December 7th-16th, 2026
Embody ancient wisdom to awaken conscious love
within yourself and in relationship
Egypt is not only a land of transformation…It is the land where divine union was encoded and honored.
The ancients did not speak of love as a fantasy or a romantic fairy tale. They understood love as devotion, sovereignty, power, grief, resurrection, and responsibility.
At the heart of this ancient civilization lies the myth of Isis and Osiris: a story not only of romance but also of rupture, repair, and spiritual remembrance.
Your invitation
This retreat is for individuals—single or partnered—who are committed to experiencing soul-level love.
You’re invited on an initiatory journey where ancient intelligence and archetypal truth reshape not only your consciousness but also your capacity for sacred union. Through devotion, discernment, integration, and sovereignty, this pilgrimage invites you to embody a form of love that is secure, mature, and deeply aligned.
ALCHEMICAL LOVE is about becoming aligned with the love you desire and also deserve.
The Voyage
This 9-day journey through the heartland of Egypt initiates an alchemical process in your capacity to attract in and hold divine love. Each site has been intentionally selected to activate specific frequencies in support of sovereign, conscious relationships. You will move through an elemental arc that mirrors a spiritual journey—beginning within yourself, then reshaping how you meet love in your life.

You’ve awakened and grown. You’ve expanded your awareness and healing through therapy, spiritual practices, or profound psychedelic experiences.
-
You may be a therapist, coach, healer, creative, entrepreneur, or leader—deeply interested in the nature of consciousness, and equally committed to experiencing a fulfilling relationship with another soul.
And yet, you may still find yourself longing for love that feels secure, devotional, or steady… Love that honors your expansion rather than destabilizing it.
You’re DONE with chaos disguised as romantic chemistry. You’re turned off by shrinking, performing, or giving away your power in relationships. You’re not interested in fantasy or bypassing sacred emotion anymore.
You want something REAL.
And you know that the next step is not about becoming more “awakened” or “perfected”. It’s about becoming aligned with conscious love.
And you sense that Egypt—not as a destination, but as an initiation—holds part of that refinement for you.

EGYPT: ENCODED FOR LOVE
EGYPT: ENCODED FOR LOVE
Osiris, god and king of Egypt, was betrayed by his jealous brother Set—his body dismembered and scattered across the land.
Isis, his beloved, did not collapse. She did not turn away from grief. She did not bypass the devastation.
Through unwavering devotion, she journeyed to gather the fragments of Osiris, restored what had been broken, and resurrected what seemed irretrievably lost.
This is not just any love story. Rather, it is an ancient blueprint for love that endures betrayal… for devotion that does not abandon sovereignty…and for union that transcends death and emerges wiser.
To walk the temples of Egypt is to step inside this myth…not as a story from the past, but as a living archetypal intelligence.
Dr. Eric Russell, Psychologist, Transformational Coach & Plant Medicine Integration Guide
Hi, I'm Eric! My relationship with Egypt began with deep, soul-level remembrance. I’ve been drawn to Ancient Egypt for as long as I can remember, deeply moved by its mythology and cosmology.
Long before I ever set foot on the land, I had vivid psychedelic and past-life experiences of myself as a young girl sitting on the steps of a temple in an ancient Egyptian town. At the time, I didn’t try to make sense of it. I simply held it as something sacred and unresolved.
When I traveled to Egypt for the first time, those memories came alive. Walking through the ancient temples felt like stepping into a hidden layer of my soul. What I didn’t expect was how profoundly that initiation would reshape my capacity for love and relationships.
After returning from my first journey to Egypt, I entered into the most conscious and secure relationship of my life. Not because I “manifested” it — but because something within me had refined. And each visit to Egypt brought more clarity, confirmation, and a level of integration I didn’t know was possible.

FAQs
Is Egypt safe to travel to, especially for a spiritual retreat?
Yes. Your safety and well-being are a top priority. The retreat is thoughtfully organized with experienced, trusted local guides, and we travel only through well-established, secure areas. Group transportation, accommodations, and daily movements are carefully coordinated, allowing you to relax into the journey feeling supported, held, and well cared for throughout.
What makes this retreat different from other trips to Egypt?
ALCHEMICAL LOVE is not a tourist group, and it is NOT a “performance” of spirituality. It is an initiatory journey; rather than moving through Egypt as an observer, you enter the temples as a participant, engaging with the land, myth, and archetypal intelligences as mirrors for your personal development in love.
Each site is approached intentionally, with guided reflection, ceremony, and integration that support sovereignty, emotional intelligence, and lived wisdom. This retreat is for those seeking depth, responsibility, and transformation that continues long after the journey ends.
How physically demanding is the retreat?
The retreat is physically accessible for most people with moderate mobility. Days include walking through temples and historical sites, balanced with rest, integration, and unhurried travel. The container is designed to support regulation and ease rather than endurance, allowing participants to stay present and resourced.
Why is the retreat scheduled for mid-December?
December is one of the most comfortable times to be in Egypt. Daytime temperatures are typically in the mid-70s, offering a cool, temperate climate that makes long days of travel and temple exploration far more pleasant than during the hotter months.
Will there be free time during the retreat?
Yes. The itinerary intentionally includes ample space for rest, reflection, journaling, and integration, alongside group activities and site visits.
What does the retreat investment include?
The retreat is intentionally all-inclusive to create a seamless, well-held experience. Your investment covers luxury accommodations, all ground transportation within Egypt (including boat and bus travel), healthy meals and non-alcoholic beverages, guided visits to sacred sites and temples, workshops and ceremonial experiences, energetic and integration support, and ongoing group integration after the retreat. International flights to and from Egypt and personal expenses are not included, though you’ll receive detailed guidance to support smooth and stress-free travel planning.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes! To support accessibility while honoring the container's integrity, we offer two payment plan options. Those who enroll before the Early Bird registration deadline of June 1st may choose a 7-month payment plan. After June 1st, a 5-month payment plan is available through September.
Do I need to believe in Egyptian mythology or gods to participate?
No. The Neter (i.e., Egyptian gods/goddesses) are approached as archetypal and symbolic intelligences rather than belief-based deities. This work invites curiosity, reflection, and personal meaning-making—not dogma or conversion.
This is the path of Isis and Osiris: devotion, healing, and embodied sovereignty.

"This wasn't just a retreat... it was a complete RESET.
I loved how the entire experience centered around love. Not just romantic love… but how we cultivate love inside of ourselves. How we show up in it. And how we expand into it.
Eric and Ryan each brought such different and powerful gifts to the space. In their own ways, they guided us back to our hearts — while also gently challenging us to take responsibility for how we give and receive love.
It felt safe, honest, and expansive.
And I’m leaving with a deeper connection to myself and a clearer understanding of what love really asks of me."
"Eric and Ryan each bring such

POWERFUL gifts to a retreat space."

another retreat with them."
“My retreat experience with Eric and Ryan was nothing short of BEAUTIFUL.
The weekend was filled with nourishing workshops, deeply healing plant medicine ceremonies, incredible food, and a TRUE sense of togetherness. Eric and Ryan share such a genuine connection, and they create an environment where you feel completely safe, comfortable, and at ease.
I walked away with a deeper understanding of my nervous system and practical tools to regulate it, alongside powerful intuitive insights from the plant medicine work. Everything was woven together so thoughtfully. I learned so much, and I’m leaving with tools I’ll carry into my everyday life. I’m already looking forward to attending another retreat with them in the future.”

Ryan Hagan, Nervous Systems Expert, Relationship Coach & Psychic Medium
Hi, I'm Ryan! I’m a Nashville-based nervous system and mental health coach, energy medicine practitioner, and psychic-medium. My work bridges embodiment, trauma integration, and creative expression, translating complex healing modalities into practical frameworks that help people rebuild trust and reclaim wholeness after life’s challenges.
I work with individuals, couples, and groups, offering both non-bypassing somatic coaching and intuitive psychic guidance. I take a holistic approach to healing that integrates physiology, spirituality, and relationship dynamics.
As a five-time national wrestling champion, I developed a deep respect for the body’s intelligence—an understanding that continues to ground my work today. I specialize in helping clients process trauma, betrayal, and emotional shutdown, guiding their nervous systems back into safety, coherence, and meaning.
I resonate deeply with the archetype of Osiris, whose story reflects the embodied process of integrating loss, rebuilding trust, and transforming pain into wisdom. In retreat settings, I love to help participants regulate and integrate what is awakened through ceremony, ensuring these experiences translate into lasting, lived change.
