Ancient Egyptian Mysteries Series

Enjoy a friendly and reflective learning journey, filled with discovery, depth of inquiry and an interesting question time. This series will be held each month for 18 months. The ancient lands of Egypt, so steeped in mystery, have inspired philosophers, historians, esoteric students, mystics, artists, poets and scientists for centuries. This series will draw upon all aspects, in searching to uncover some of the mysteries of Ancient Egypt. This online series will be hosted by Lucy Crawford-Sandison (Australia) and Bill Anderson (UK). Recordings are available to ticket holders for the presentations purchased. 

Each month has a different topic, but you can easily attend any session without having been to the sessions before, or you can purchase a session ticket after the event, and watch the recording.
