Luxor

Aswan — Per Aset (House of Isis)
The residency begins in Aswan near Philae Temple, sacred to Auset (Isis). We stay at Per Aset – House of Isis, a regenerative sustainability temple community rooted in ancient heritage and land-based wisdom. This setting offers a gentle, grounding arrival—connecting participants to the Nile, the land, and ancestral memory.

Luxor — West Bank, Qurna Village
The second phase unfolds in Luxor’s West Bank, in the village of Qurna, a mythic landscape of death, rebirth, and royal ancestry. Our Ritual Theatre Container is housed in a large ceremonial dome with a Sekhmet statue, supporting ritual theatre, embodiment, and collective creation. Nearby accommodations at West Bank Home provide comfort, rest, and integration within this powerful sacred terrain.
