THE SACRED INVITATION
A HIGHLY INTIMATE & CURATED EXPERIENCE
“More than anything, this place feels familiar. I bury my hands in the hot sand and think about the embodiment of memory or, more specifically, our natural ability to carry the past in our bodies and minds.
Individually, every grain of sand brushing against my hands represents a story, an experience, and a block for me to build upon for the next generation. I quietly thank this ancestor of mine for surviving the trip so that I could one day return.”

TESTIMONIAL
“WOW! I definitely had a spiritual awakening. It was soul-searching and a sheer reckoning of the innate power I possess. The welcoming ceremony was one of a kind. Since you already know, "I like nice things' ' I must mention the meals and transportation were extraordinary. My experience was breathtaking and I was able to face and conquer fears.” - NJ, retreat attendee (SSA II 2021)
TESTIMONIAL:
Three of us had just arrived; we were the last to arrive. After dinner and the introductions, we were out on the boat, all dressed up in white, for our opening ceremony. The spirit, coupled with the white dress code, the night, the people, and the lights each was holding, made it magical. We had to sit and walk according to our ages, oldest to youngest, which reminded me how we should never take for granted those who came before us, our elders, parents, and most importantly, our ancestors, those that we know and those that we do not know. We are our ancestors in the physical. I loved how we were made to feel at home and safe to be ourselves without shame or favour. The connection and holding space for each other was out of this world, even though we had just met. I felt and acknowledged the presence of my ancestors, accompanied by the barking dogs and birds flying above us. Words can never do justice to the experience I had as I was initiated. -MLM Retreat Attendee (SSA VI 2025)
YOUR HOMECOMING
Your soul remembers what your mind has forgotten.
The moment your feet touch this ancient soil, something in you exhales —
a knowing that you are home.
Journey with us to the birthplace of civilization — the sacred lands of Ta-Seti (Nubia) — and:
Purify and cleanse the mind, body, and spirit through sacred ritual and ancestral practice
Bathe in the Nile
Visit the Sacred Sites few have access to
Meditate (Privately) in the Great Pyramid
Explore transformational teachings to release limiting beliefs, expand spiritual power, and root yourself in truth and radiance
Commune and Fellowship with our Nubian Family
Activate your innate spiritual gifts
From Pharaohs to artisans, the wisdom of the ancestors still hums through the sands.
Through ceremony, song, sound, and plant allies — Blue Lotus, Sacred Tobacco, Sananga, and African Dream Medicine —
we cleanse the vessel, open our inner vision, restore harmony, and reawaken the Ra Life Force within.
THE CALL TO RETURN
As Malidoma Patrice Somé writes in Of Water and the Spirit,
“To live in the West is to live in a constant state of toxicity.”
Our bodies and spirits absorb the heaviness of a world out of balance — the noise, the chaos, the disconnection, the forgetting of sacred rhythm and our inner voice.
To heal, we must go home — to the source, to the elders, to the elements —
to be cleansed, reinforced, and re-strengthened.
This pilgrimage is that homecoming. A return to the lands that know how to clean us up energetically —
where ritual restores clarity, where the community holds you, and where your Ra Life Force is renewed.
Through Purification, Presence, and Power,
we wash away the residue of modern life and realign with the pulse of creation itself.
TESTIMONIAL:
A powerfully profound experience. Ignition to an even deeper awakening of soul purpose and the path that's been awaiting me. Coming to Africa with the beings who came together will forever be a memorable and special experience. Being able to learn from Sarah and Tony, see for oneself the ancient land and artifacts of Kemet, was a compelling experience. The journey opened corridors into ancient African philosophy, history, spirituality, and a way of life that I seek to explore more deeply. Sparks are ignited and I know now what career I want to train longingly for - Kemetic yoga! I feel fully equipped to create the reality I am envisioning. Many thanks to the journey to Kemet and the now loved ones that came along.” - EM, retreat attendee (SSA IV 2023)
THE HEART OF HOME
With each journey, we follow the Path of Hapi — the Nile.
Every experience in Kemet is an initiation, but this one is different. We will Anchor the majority of our transformational journey in Nubia (Upper Egypt) — the Ta-Seti of antiquity, the Land of the Bow — the cradle of civilization and the southern heart of Kemet, where the memory of divinity still breathes through the temples and the people.
This is the place where family, community, and connection are the very air you breathe.
When we arrive, the people of Nubia greet us with the words “Welcome Home.”
They mean it — and you feel it.
In Nubia, you are not a visitor; you are family.
You are embraced, seen, and remembered.
It is a place of safety, ease, and kinship, where the simple act of being together becomes medicine.
Here, healing begins not in solitude but in community.
Through laughter, ritual, cleansing, music, dance, and prayer, we are reminded of who we are — and whose we are.

TESTIMONIALS
“There aren’t enough words with enough depth to fully express and capture my entire experience. That’s just how soulful it was. I came in with no expectations, I just knew I was going to connect with some of the ancient history and do a little healing, a . However, what I received was so much for, from the connection to the people, to the ancient creations and teachings past down from tens of thousands of years ago, to reconnecting with the depths of myself. This overall experience was next level. Idk how you may be arriving, but I can promise all leave brighter, lighter, and awakened to a higher state being. Absolutely, I honestly feel I received much more than most retreats would ever include for that price. From the food, hotels, visiting the temples/pyramids with unique tour guides, and then adding in the workshops and guidance/support of Tony and Sarah!! You literally can’t beat the cost!!” -PM, retreat attendee
“Tony and Sarah, please know that I consider you individually and RTK, family. I can't thank you enough for what you've meant in my life and now, the lives of my family. As it is with Kemet, RTK is a timeless example of black excellence. And much like the pyramids, we don't know how you do it, or if it's even possible to do what you do. But the Return to Kemet experience is hieroglyphically-etched in our DNA, and we, your RTK family, will tell this story. It is, after all, The Greatest Love Story Never Told!" - KJ, retreat attendee
“My most memorable event during the retreat was the relationship made with the group. Following up on the overall impression of the journey, before arriving in Egypt I thought the most memorable event would be related to the structures and ancient sites. The entire journey from shopping experiences, traveling, and the historical landmarks were indeed memorable. However, it was the people who made this trip such a memorable and positive experience. I enjoyed the food, so much so that I am now vegan. My overall impression of the journey was much more amazing than I originally expected. I would recommend this journey to any good friend of mine.” - GE, retreat attendee
“Climbing down the shaft of the Great Pyramid, meditating at Abydos, Temple of Auset, cooked hibiscus tea, lovely hosts, tony is very wise- I loved when he said "Everyone is on their own journey," Sufi Healer - I am extremely happy that I went on this trip. Spiritually it was amazing, much more than expected.” - MS, retreat attendee
“The title "Sacred Soul Awakening" really symbolizes my experience. The retreat was not just a trip to Egypt, but a journey of self-discovery, but it wasn't' a singular journey. I was also able to connect with amazing souls. We uplifted each other, we laughed and we learned together. I have a deep gratitude for this experience because I came back differently...lighter and stronger.” KH, retreat attendee
