Inner Alchemy Training through Ancient Egypt
An in-depth training journey in ancient Egyptian healing methods, inner alchemy, and embodiment
from November 21 to December 2
The Inner Alchemy Training is an 11-day training and initiation journey through Egypt in which you learn to experience, embody, and practically apply the ancient Egyptian Mysteries.
You travel through Aswan, Luxor, Dendera and Abydos and work in and around the temples inner alchemy, Sekhem, the Neteru, meditation, breathwork, energetic work, ritual, trance, transmission and consciousness.
Each day forms a new layer within one continuous journey.
You first open the body and the life flow. From there, you work with the heart, your desires, and the feminine and masculine forces within yourself. Subsequently, these polarities move towards Sacred Union, creative power, and sexual life energy. In Abydos, you journey through shadow, death, and rebirth, after which everything comes together in integration, self-empowerment, and embodiment.
In this context, the temples form living training grounds.
You receive teachings before entering a temple, are given questions, meditations, energetic assignments, and rituals, and subsequently learn to perceive for yourself what is happening in your body, consciousness, and energy field.
This creates a combination of knowledge, direct experience and practical application.
In the Inner Alchemy Training, you learn skills that you can take with you into your own life and, when guiding people, into your own work.
You will learn, among other things:
feeling and reading energetic energy;
activate the current of Sekhem;
working with laying on of hands;
consciously setting energy in motion;
attune to different Neteru;
working with meditation, breath, trance and energetic transmission;
consciously employing rituals;
recognize shadow and light as transformative forces;
experiencing and balancing feminine and masculine qualities within yourself;
learning to use sexual life energy as a creative and transformative flow;
listening to what a process truly requires;
Translating insights into your daily life and work.
The training offers a in this regard clear foundation and a living structure, while each participant retains space to receive his or her own experience.
That makes this journey simultaneously personal, practical, and mystical.
Who is the Inner Alchemy Training intended for?
The Inner Alchemy Training is developed for coaches, therapists, healers, lightworkers, energy workers and guides who wish to further deepen their connection with energy, consciousness, and the Egyptian Mysteries.
Even if you are primarily entering from a perspective of personal development, this training can be a powerful journey if you feel a desire to learn to listen more deeply to your body, energy, and inner truth.
This training is suitable for people who long for:
personal deepening;
a stronger connection with their intuition;
learning to work with energy;
concrete methods and practices;
a clear bed;
connection with like-minded people;
temple work and ritual;
room for mystery;
more confidence in what they themselves feel and receive;
a way to actually embody spiritual insights.
Within the group, space simultaneously arises for depth, connection, fun, sharing, food, travel, relaxing and experiencing life together.
As a result, the training moves between intensive inner work and ordinary human life.
Working with the Ancient Egyptian Layers of Consciousness
During the training, you will learn to work with different layers of consciousness as used within our approach to the ancient Egyptian Mysteries.
Together, these layers form an important blueprint for inner alchemy.
Khat — the physical body and the carrier of your experience
Ka — the life energy and vital flow
Ba — your moving essence, desires, and soul qualities
Shut — the shadow and hidden parts of yourself
Run — your name, essence, and identity
Sekhem — spiritual power and life force
Akh — the integrated, enlightened and embodied state
Throughout the journey, these layers recur time and again in the teachings, temple assignments, meditations, breathwork, rituals, and energetic exercises.
As a result, you get to know them from multiple levels:
understand → experience → apply → embody.
What are you taking home?
After this training, you will go home not only with profound experiences and activations, but also with concrete tools and methods that you can continue to apply in your daily life and (energetic) work.
You bring, among other things:
- Practical meditation and breathing methods from the ancient Egyptian mysteries
- A deeper connection with your physical body, life energy, and soul
- Tools to balance masculine and feminine energy within yourself
- Learning to work with Sekhem as a healing and activating life stream
- A deeper understanding of Khat, Ka, Ba, Shut, Ren, and Akh
- New ways to feel, read, and guide energetically
- A deeper connection with the Neteru and their operation in your system

The common thread of Inner Alchemy
The Inner Alchemy Training is structured as a living line of initiation, in which you move step by step through the various phases of inner alchemy. Each phase builds upon the previous one, so that the process is not only understood mentally, but can actually take root in the body, the energetic system, and consciousness.
The common thread of this journey is as follows:
- Day 1–3 = Opening & Purification
(Opening the physical body, the heart, and the energetic channels)
We start by opening the Khat, the physical body, and the activation of the life flow of Sekhem. From there, we work with the heart, Ma'at, and the flow of light through the body, so that the system becomes purified and receptive. - Day 4–5 = Polarity
(Getting to know, healing, and embodying feminine and masculine energy)
In this phase, we work deeply with the feminine and masculine Neteru and explore how these forces live within you. By learning to feel and embody both separately, awareness and balance emerge. - Day 6–8 = Union & Creation
(Chakra activation, cosmic marriage and sexual life energy)
Here we bring the polarities together. Through chakra activation, the cosmic marriage of Amun-Ra and Mut, and working with sexual life energy, we open the creative and transformative power within the system. - Day 9–10 = Dissolution & Rebirth
(Shadow, death, letting go and resurrection)
In Abydos, we descend into the deepest layers of transformation. Here we work with the Shut (shadow), death and rebirth. Old layers die off, creating space for the new. - Day 11 = Embodiment & Integration
(Letting everything land, anchor, and embody)
The final day is dedicated to integration. Everything that has been opened, activated, and remembered is brought together and anchored, so that the inner alchemy does not end in Egypt, but continues to work in your life.
This is the path of Inner Alchemy.A path where body, energy, soul, shadow, and light come together in a living state of remembrance and embodiment.

Accommodation & Space
During this journey, we stay at carefully selected power spots that directly contribute to the process of activation, deepening, and integration.
In Aswan we are staying at Eco Nubia, a special place right on the water, with a view of the island where the Temple of Isis is located. The mere presence of this temple and the energetic field of this place immediately bring your system into alignment.
In Luxor we are staying at Embrace Hotel, a place known for its tranquility, warmth, and safe environment. A place where integration, relaxation, and deepening come together.
In Abydos we are staying at the House of Life, a stone's throw from one of the most mystical temples in Egypt. A place where the initiation work surrounding death, rebirth, and inner transformation can unfold on deep levels.
At every location, we have a beautiful and carefully chosen workspace for daily teachings, transmissions, practices, and integration moments. This creates a powerful and safe field, not only within the temples but also outside of them, in which the learning process is fully supported.
These are the hotels where we are staying.

Lead Facilitator - Esther Geskus
Esther is a passionate facilitator, coach and trainer who guides people in connecting with their authentic core, body, emotions and life energy. With a deep love for holistic transformation work and a passion for tantra, Esther creates safe and powerful spaces in which participants can experience their “spark” again.
Her own journey of self-love and consciousness expansion has inspired her to integrate transformational work on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual. This work focuses on releasing traumas and blockages, allowing people to feel freer and happier. Tantra plays a central role in this. For Esther, tantra means not only liberation and expansion, but also embodied spirituality – a deep connection with the body, emotions and the flow of life energy.
Her mission is to support people in regaining their balance, life energy and self-love, so that they can embrace life with self-confidence, strength and joy and inspire others.
Review: An inspired journey with Brian Van Leeuwen and Esther Geskus
I was allowed to participate in a retreat in Egypt under the guidance of Brian and Esther and it was more than transformation. What they offer is truly unique. Not just a journey along ancient temples to create a different inner feeling, but a mystical exploration of inner layers. Guided with the sensitivity of a librarian who knows exactly which book your soul needs at that moment.
Their approach is difficult to put into words. It is soft and powerful, subtle and profound. The sessions before and after the visit to the temples offered space to sink, to feel and to process, but also to let go, to liberate and to anchor in yourself. Brian and Esther create a foundation in which you are invited to embrace your pain points instead of running away from them.
Without perhaps realizing it yourself, they activate the alchemy within yourself along the way. Silent, intense moments arise in which you feel inner doors opening. As if something in you remembers who you really are. It is a tasting of what can arise in you when you let yourself be touched by the land, the energy and their inspired presence. I am so grateful for this journey and for the group in which we have carried, mirrored and strengthened each other with an open heart, gentleness and courage. We help each other grow, often without words.
Warm greetings,
Jurgen
