The invitation

Return to the
Goddess Within

You are not here to become someone new. You are here to remember who you have always been.

Return of Isis/Auset is an invitation to awaken the feminine within. Four sacred days on the Nile, where the ancient temple gateway, cleansing waters and the warmth of sisterhood meet your own inner power. This women's spiritual retreat in Aswan, Egypt is a quiet return to what the river has always known.

With Dhyani Love beside you, honour Isis/Auset through sacred movement, womb and sacral healing, and ancestral remembrance. Let the river carry you towards a softer, deeper return to yourself.

The sanctuary & The Love Temple

Earth beneath you.
The Nile beside you.

Arrive by boat on car-free Heissa Island. Nubian Royals Sanctuary brings together mud-built, traditional earthen Nubian architecture, natural textures, cotton bedding and welcoming arches.

Where is the Isis/Auset retreat held?

The planned boat excursion to Philae remains subject to local regulations, permissions, site access and conditions; the temple is visited with respect, and the teachings, ceremonies and reflection that follow are held at the sanctuary.

Can I come on my own?

Yes, solo women are welcome. Five comfortable traditional Nubian rooms each accommodate two women. Dhyani will confirm retreat availability and your room assignment personally.

Which airport should I fly to?

Ceremonies inside protected temples are not promised. Please confirm temple entry fees and excursion inclusions at booking.

What makes this retreat distinct?

A mud-built Nubian sanctuary on a car-free island, The Love Temple as a separate meditation and healing space within the sanctuary, and intimate guidance from Dhyani Love.

What should I pack?

Comfortable clothes for Yoga and gentle movement, modest clothing and suitable shoes for temple walking, and clothing appropriate for an optional river water ceremony. All water participation is optional and depends on safe conditions.
