The Call to Egypt: A Sacred Journey of Healing and Awakening (with Bryana Clover)
57:25 Share

You are listening to A Psychic Story, a podcast that shares behind the scenes insights of people who lead supernatural lives among the ordinary. And I'm your host, Nicole Bigley. Join me every Wednesday as I dispel the myths behind magic and lore. Welcome to A Psychic Story. Mysticism demystified.

Hi, psychic listeners. Welcome back to another episode of A Psychic Story. For this episode, I have back Brianna Clover. If you have not listened to episode 220 yet, Spiritual Liberation, definitely check it out. It covers Brianna's story, and we announce our partnership on a spiritual trip to Egypt, September 1st through 14th, 2025. Welcome back, Brianna. How are you doing? Hi, Nicole. I'm doing so well. And

As you're saying the state, I'm like, that really is not that far. No, it's not. I'm so excited. I know. I know. It's going to be here before we know it. And what you and I were talking about for this episode is that

Really, when you were on, and thank you so much for sharing your story and everything, we didn't have a lot of time necessarily to talk about the trip itself and some things have evolved since then. But before we get into that, really wanted to talk about all the news that's coming out or has been coming out lately about Egypt. So are you ready for that? I

I'm here for it. All right. Well, we're definitely going to need to tune into our spidey senses for some of this too. But for those that aren't familiar, and also thanks to everyone for sending me stuff on social and email and everything because you know that this is my jam. Okay. In March, a team of Italian and Scottish researchers found the existence of a vast underground city beneath Egypt's Giza pyramids.

Utilizing radar technology, they report detecting complex networks of chambers and structures extending about a little over a half mile below ground.

The team also proposes that these pyramids are approximately 38,000 years old, significantly older than the widely accepted age of around 4,500 years, and that the civilization responsible for their construction was destroyed by a catastrophic flood caused by an asteroid impact 12,000 years ago.

Now, these claims, not surprisingly, have been met with skepticism from the broader archaeological community. Prominent Egyptologists, including Dr. Zahi Hawass, have dismissed the findings as unscientific, basically attributing that these observed features like water erosion mark salt encrustations to natural weathering rather than evidence of any ancient floodings.

Critics also question the validity of the radar technology used, arguing that it cannot detect structures at such depths. And this is interesting because, and I'll break in a moment and get your thoughts, but a lot of the conversation that I've seen online are people arguing, that's been debunked. No, it's real and everything.

So anyway, that's also I want to talk about here. But additionally, the study has not undergone any sort of peer review, which means that these leading experts are going to regard these claims as speculative and lacking any sort of robust evidence. Now, in contrast, archaeological efforts such as those by the Ancient Egypt Research Associates

have uncovered a workers' village, and I'm using quotes here, near the Giza complex. And the settlement dates back to the fourth dynasty, circa 2600 BC, includes communal sleeping quarters, bakeries, breweries, and other facilities offering tangible insights into the lives of people who allegedly built the pyramids. So Brie, what do you think about all this?

First of all, major chills. I feel like I want to caveat this conversation a little bit with just a thought here. My perspective when exploring the magic of Egypt is to keep an open mind, right?

And to surrender to this idea that, or this need to prove anything. So whenever I'm having these conversations about whether or not something existed, or when we hear about these, what seems to be unscientifically proven, it's just an invitation to be open to what the motherland has to share with us. I feel like whatever the details that we're exploring, it's potent energy and it's diverse. But one thing I do want to say about this is,

For those who go on the trip,

We're going to get to ask Ahmed these questions. And Ahmed being one who grew up in Luxor from there and also being an Egyptologist is going to have some really interesting perspective. That was one of my most favorite parts of traveling with Ahmed is asking him these questions and the ways in which he balances like the Egyptologist lens and the spiritual lens to things. So I'm really excited to get those insights from Ahmed. But...

I tend to believe these kinds of things. We may not know all of the details, but one book that's on our reading list, which I think I might've mentioned in our first podcast, but it's A Hypnotist's Journey to the Secrets of the Sphinx by Sarah Breskman.

So just really quickly in case, I don't remember if I said anything or in case you didn't hear the first episode, Sarah Breskman is trained in Dolores Cannon's QHHT, quantum healing hypnosis technique. So essentially you are in a lucid state, but hypnotized as a way to connect to your higher self or to connect to potential lifetimes. And this book is the culmination of hundreds of her clients'

That they gave her their permission, didn't know each other, not connected at all, where details about the Sphinx and all kinds of other spiritual insights were shared and had common threads and stories. And one of the common threads and stories is about what's below the Sphinx.

So take that for what you will, but I feel like, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. And I have a personal story. I don't believe I shared this on the main episode when we talked about this originally, but about the space beneath the Great Sphinx. And that has long been the subject of fascination, especially what you're talking about here. And when I was little, I need to ask my mom and dad exactly what time, or age rather, but I think I was like maybe four. I was not that old.

And there was some sort of documentary on television. And as this documentary is playing, the announcer, it's like, and then there's this, it was like all this, ah, that sort of voice. And they were talking and they were teasing something about coming back and what else is about the Sphinx. And I said, right off the bat,

it was almost like I had this memory that flooded back. There was a commercial break when commercials were commercials as a thing then. And in this commercial break, right when it started, I said to my parents, and there's this cavern or this room that's beneath the Sphinx. And I could see it exactly how far down and how far away. And I started explaining that there were these scrolls and all this other stuff. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, honey. Okay, honey. You know, like whatever. And then the document...

the documentary came back on and the host starts talking and right off he picks up and says, "And with sonar technology,

there's this room and everything underneath. But because, yes, and my parents' jaws were on the floor and they looked at me like, what? How'd you know that? Of course, you're asking like a four-year-old. At that point, I had gone off and I was doing something else. But it sticks out to me because from then on, I would have these memories. And when my sister was about nine or 10, and she would put me under these past life regressions, we're about 10 years apart.

I would make her sit down with me and read from the book because this is before a lot of that was online, you know, now as it is now. And a lot of the memories that I have from these past life regressions were from, I believe, Atlantis and coming into Egypt. And I could see all of these walkways and these hallways and what the people were wearing and

everything and how everything was under connected with this like underground city now no proof whatsoever but I hadn't read the book you were talking about I this was before I was going into all of that stuff and now there are multiple memories and things from other people but I would get this feeling that it resonated with me so much so anyway I just wanted to share that um any thoughts

Yeah. I mean, I feel like both you and I and how you support your clients too is like really kind of trusting the intuition and getting familiar with it because there is something there. And I feel like science doesn't say, like doesn't claim to be able to prove anything, but it's not truth in the world of science unless it's proven. But there's so many things about our human experience that might not have scientific proof that

that, you know, like it's still, it's still helpful for us to explore it. And it's interesting that you said that you connected Atlantis and the Sphinx because there's another book where she pulls together the author of this, the hypnotist journey to the secrets of the Sphinx, where she talks about Atlantis and in the Sphinx book,

the people that are talking about below the Sphinx are talking about how it's very similar to Atlantis. And it's actually the folks from Atlantis, the beings from Atlantis who put it there. Yes, that's exactly what I remembered. Yeah, that's insane to me. And I, and I, and...

From my hand to God, it was not because I read books or saw something on TV at that point in time. One as a child, obviously, but then as I got older and I was doing this again, and I'm excited to read on our reading list that we have these books that you shared last time and now. But yeah, so I'll be curious to also see what pops up for me intuitively because I don't know if this works for you, but when I get information, again, psychic hits, messages, or channeled information,

And there can be a catalyst to it, whether it's a person says something or there's a song or there's a book I read. All of a sudden, it's as if memories kind of come back and it's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then I can really tap back into what that is. Amazing. And I can't wait to travel with you on the sacred land of Egypt to be witness to, I'm sure that's going to happen many times for you. Well, for all of us, I hope. Okay. So before we go, I want to share a little bit more about the Sphinx, but I did forget

I wanted to hear what your theories are or what you think it is about this underground area within, you know, underneath the pyramids. Because there are some people who say that there's these coils and these coils that go down because there's columns essentially. And I'll share on social media too what some of the diagrams are and how it looks.

There's these columns. So people are thinking either they're columns and they're holding up buildings or they're columns and there's coils. And essentially it was built to hold the energy and charge electricity up and create it that way. So having some time with this and thinking about it either intuitively or what you feel led, what are you thinking it is? Yeah. Okay. Such a good question. Yeah.

All I know, and I'm going to try to keep this because I know like we could talk about this for ages. And

Because my work is in challenging the stories and narratives we've been told, especially rooted in power and control or folks who want it. Like I'm always naturally questioning things that we've been told. And so that's one thing that I think about with this because even the way we learned about who built the pyramids, you even said that there's discrepancies potentially in when they were actually built. Mm-hmm.

I even use the word allegedly built the pyramids too, because I don't even know. Yeah. No. And I remember in textbooks, us learning that people who built it, but the first time I went to Egypt, I'm like, there is no way, like even with the technology we have today. So that's one thing that I, I, I often challenge with regards to how we understand the progression of humanity is,

I truly believe that there were more advanced technology in ancient times than necessarily there is today. Not that it doesn't exist today, but we've kind of forgotten it, right? And it does make a lot of sense in my mind when I think about the powers that be. As a society, there could be a narrative there that we continue to progress as time goes on, but maybe not.

So that's one thing. I think the other thing that makes me think about like the coil, like it makes sense to me because even the first trip that I went to Egypt, when we were talking about the purpose of the pyramids, like some folks say like the pharaohs built them for their tombs and to be buried in, but there's a lot of pyramids where no one was actually necessarily ever buried there. And they're aligned to the stars in a perfect way that there seems to be lots of

like lots of information that lends itself for at least for us to challenge that that's what they were, the only thing that they were built for. So when you think about like sound technology and connecting with earth energy, I mean, we already know that we can create electricity from the earth, you know, utilizing the sun. So anyways, those are just my thoughts. Like, yeah. Yeah. I don't know about the coils necessarily. I feel like I'm going to get more information when I'm there. Yeah.

And I haven't really tuned in intentionally because part of these things, I want it to be a surprise and not go in with any sort of preconceived notions of, oh, I thought it was this and it's actually this. I definitely, again, from when I was four, remember these halls and they were huge, like wide and long. And there were columns of almost like this true underground city. I don't think it was a city. This is what my guides angels are saying. They're like...

It wasn't a city where it was above ground and then it was built over. You know, that there are cities even in our own modern civilization that that's the case. I don't think that at all. And I do believe that when maybe, you know, things were built over time, that they were using it for energy and the purpose of all the things that you said. But yeah, so we'll see. It'll be really fun. Okay.

So going back to the Sphinx, archaeological studies have shown that there are natural fissures and chambers beneath and around the Sphinx. So this is basically back in the 70s or 80s, what this documentary was saying. And so some researchers have suggested, again, the presence of subterranean cavities or tunnels, though their purpose and origins remain unclear. Now, one of the most

popular legends is the Hall of Records theory, which suggests that this hidden chamber beneath the Sphinx holds ancient knowledge from Atlantis or lost civilization. And that was the first thing I saw were all these scrolls and everything there. Yeah. And so there's that.

And then now Egyptian authorities and archaeologists generally dismiss the Hall of Records theory as pseudoscience. However, non-invasive scans have confirmed the existence of some cavities, though they have not yielded any discoveries. And that's because excavation around and beneath the Sphinx is restricted by the Egyptian government to preserve the monument. So.

There's that. And then there are other recent news. You know, it's not just about underground cities and everything else to be making headlines about Egypt of late. So Brie, why don't you share with everyone about the things showing up in the photos in Sekhmet's chapel? Yes, this excites me because I think I mentioned the previous episode we recorded together that

Prior to my first visit, I didn't even know who Sekhmet was, even though from a very young age, I was fascinated by ancient Egypt and I learned about the gods and goddesses. Sekhmet, for whatever reason, just wasn't one that I connected with. Now I understand why, that it wasn't my time to connect with.

But there was, there's been tons. Like if you like, if you just look up photos of Sekhmet's chapel in Luxor, you'll run into some, you know, all kinds of photos that people take with different images that are like kind of wonky looking in the photo. Like they don't really like... Like blurry or dirty, like with dust and stuff, or it looks like it was... Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, but the most recent one that you and I saw together was that there was a professional photographer who was in that chapel and took a photo of Sekhmet, and he was the only one in the room. There was no one else in the room. Of course,

Take them at their word, right? And there was a very clear image of someone with colors and textures that was standing in front, kind of like facing second. It gives me chills when I saw that photo. Yes.

Yes. And even as an enhanced image, it's not a solid color. And there was another, I think she was an Egyptologist, an archaeologist who said that that image, which that was the first thing I thought before I even saw, like listen to the full video of Ptah. And Ptah is Sekhmet's divine counterpart and creator God. And that's,

The image that showed up resembles images of Ptah that we've seen in other sites on, you know, in tombs and sacred sites in Egypt on the walls that ancient Egyptians drew. So, oh, it gives me chills. But what feels even more significant to me when I'm seeing something like that is I too had very similar experiences and weird type things happened.

showing up in my photos along with many of the women who were traveling on the trip with me at the time. And I would love to show, like, of course, I don't know, did I send them to you yet? You sent them to me. Yeah. Okay. We can share them if you're okay with it. I can share it on social media later with this episode. I'd love to. No, not as profound as Patal literally like showing up in a video, but very much you could see the

energy swirling in the room from the picture. And this was after we had been in there and we were literally just sitting and kind of communing with the spirit of Sekhmet. And there were no other people around. Like we were in there on our own with her and absolutely the energy is palpable in that room. And

I don't think I was necessarily biased because there were some experiences in Egypt where I didn't feel necessarily the energy that others in the group felt. You know, we all had our own individual experiences throughout this trip. That particular chapel was one very profound experience for me. And it was felt by everyone, by the other women in the room. And then just seeing in the picture, it's like, yes, because it did feel like spiraling energy. Yeah.

So I'm so excited for the travelers to experience her chapel. Yeah. And we're going to get to that in the itinerary and everything else too. But I wanted to share one other thought, maybe a couple of Japan, what else comes in, but

I feel like regardless of the purpose of any of these temples or buildings and structures in Egypt, to me, the land feels, I know it's ancient, but the whole area feels, the whole country is very sacred. And...

Especially that these things were built with such intention and to your point earlier about not knowing necessarily how either advanced civilizations or advanced peoples or beings, whatever you want to call it, being built with that sort of advanced technology works.

with the understanding of Earth and how everything works and then lined up with the stars, to me, especially then you layer into the reason why something in a structure was built. And so for people that aren't familiar maybe with Sekhmet and haven't listened to the other episode, do you mind sharing a little bit about what they represent? Yes. So Sekhmet is the goddess of war and

and healing and transformation. So ancient Egyptians often revered her before going into a battle or something like that. But

The energy of Sekhmet is much deeper and potent than that. And part of what I'm excited to share for the travelers who go in September is that we'll be able to share the history and the stories of these gods and goddesses so that we can really kind of appreciate the consciousness of these different archetypes and how we can actually connect them to our lived experience in this body in this lifetime.

But I really resonate with the energy of Sekhmet because it's burn it all down energy. And no matter where we're at or what our perspective is with what's going on in the world. I'm like burn it all down right now. Yeah, it does feel that way. Like collectively we're all feeling it, right? But it's not burn it all down energy that Sekhmet displays for the sake of burning it all down. It's so that we can create what's new.

and we can have a vision for what's new, collective care, community care. So that's partly why I resonate so much right now in these times with the energy of Sekhmet. It's almost like it's the fierce mother who reminds us of our power and

I don't know about you, but especially in these times, I need that swift like light to light under me to remind me of why I'm here and to remember to

speak my truth. Yes. And not be afraid of it. Yes. Yeah. And I was seeing in my mind's eye or the psychic sight that this temple I was seeing when you were saying the swirling, that's how it felt energetically, like energy in energy out. Like also, I don't want to, I can't really think of the word that I want other than manifestation, almost birthing of and creation is what feels this temple. Or again, I don't know the purpose, but,

I will after I go to Egypt or before I go and learning about it. But at the same time, that's what I was seeing. So anyway, so thank you for sharing about SecMet.

Yeah, thanks for asking. Okay, so I'd like now to go to some of our personal experiences when both of us were in Egypt. Now, we weren't together in Egypt. You went on your trip. I went on a trip to Egypt several, several years ago. So this will be my second one. But if you want to take it from here and share any additional maybe personal experiences that we didn't talk about when we had our last episode.

Yeah, I was thinking about this before because I feel like there's just so much magic to share with Egypt. But I also feel like maybe I should give a little bit of time to the subtle ways in which Egypt transformed me. Because I think, you know, um...

For all of us, our experience, like we're all going to have a shared experience when we're together. I mean, that happens anywhere you travel in the world with the people that you travel with. There is a connection that is built and I feel like it's a beautiful thing. And there's just something about the continent of Africa. Honestly, we all came from an African woman. Literally scientists can trace all of our DNA back to Africa.

Mitochondrial Eve is what scientists call her. So there's something so potent about the continent of Africa and like that whole like reconnection, which I think in these times we really, really need. So I feel like maybe it's so exciting to talk about all the like the crazy magical things and we're going to experience all of that. But there are subtle ways in which Egypt will impact you.

you when you were there. So there were so many times I remember, because I didn't do a lot of research on the exact places I went. So that's another thing. Some people might want to do that, but also I kind of wanted to experience it without having any kind of preconceived ideas and notions. And the trip I went on, actually, the guide...

from the United States who brought us over there got really, really ill on the trip. And so she wasn't able to travel with us to a lot of the places. So we weren't really necessarily getting a lot of like her insights, right? So there were a lot of times where our guide Ahmed, who will be the guide in September, gave us space to just experience everything.

the energy, all of us in there. And so there were times I would go into the space. I didn't understand the significance of it. And I still like, do I feel anything? What is this? You know? And I left thinking like, well, okay, that's another wonderful sacred spot, but don't really know the significance of it. And then like two or three days later, we would go to another site and I would see something that reminded me of the...

place we went two days later and I started making connections and it's hard to like cerebrally describe it but like my body was remembering connections um so and then of course we had our our guide Ahmed who's an Egyptologist like give us more of the details so I just

I thought I'd share that because there are so many less or more subtle ways that Egypt transforms that I think are just as significant, if not more. Yeah. No, thank you for that. Because I was the same as you when I went. I didn't do a ton of research, although I've been fascinated my whole life. To me, it felt like I was coming home. When I got there, I felt, okay, I've been here before, but it looked different, right?

than I remembered in my heart and in my soul. I don't know if that makes any sense if you experienced that too. The energy was similar in a lot of ways, but the look and feel wasn't as if I was like, oh, that was supposed to be there. It wasn't that. It was that piece of it. But also I wish on my trip, so I was there for two weeks. That first week it was Cairo, Luxor. We went to a bunch of

I think there was like a third city that I'm blanking on right now. But anyway, so that whole first week and it was just crazy. It was, you were up at like dawn and you were in, you know, the bus and you're going around and then by five or six and then you're done. It was like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So every place I went,

there wasn't necessarily time to really sit and be. So I felt like it was this huge whirlwind. And then the second week, I went to Sharm el-Sheikh and I went scuba diving in the Red Sea. So it was a completely different experience. So really, I was only in Egypt for about a week. And I remember thinking, I want to...

Not I want to. I will be back someday. And this time when I go, and the people I was with were fantastic. I was with one of my best friends. It was her and me. And then it was a whole bunch of people that owned scuba diving shops.

Yeah, it was like a fam tour, which was why we were going to Sharm El Sheikh. But they weren't into like all the woo or into all the spiritual like I was. So every time I was somewhere, and I remember asking our guide then too, like, well, what about this? And what about this? And she would be very nice and respectful, but she was like that hardcore, you know, archaeologist and Egyptologist that was like, no, this is what the facts are. I'm like, I

I don't know. That doesn't necessarily feel in my heart and soul the way that, anyway. So that was just a big overview of Egypt to me. But I vowed to go back and really spend the time with people that wanted, I don't say wanted to have the same experience because you're absolutely right. Everyone is going to be profoundly different and impacted in different ways. There's the shared experience, but then the individual, but where I could have both, you know?

Yes. Yes. So important. I mean, and I think that that's really what inspired me to, after meeting Ahmed and after experiencing Egypt for myself, wanting to bring others there to experience it, but then learning how I want to support others in their experience of Egypt. So to your point, I think, you know, folks are going to get the best of both worlds and I'm excited. Yeah.

I'm really, I'm really pumped. Was there any other maybe final story or experience you wanted to share before we get into the trip details?

No, I think that's good. That's enough. I feel complete. Okay, good. Because we, again, if you haven't listened to the episode, go back. We talk a little bit about some additional experiences that both of us had. Mine primarily when I was at the base of the pyramid and I literally could have stayed there for days and just awed and soaked it all up. But yeah, so go back and listen to that episode. All right. So I'm going to hand it over to you. Let's get into the trip details in September, shall we?

Awesome. That's great. I keep wanting us to get there because I'm just so excited. Okay. So, so far we do have...

several interested parties and those who had filled out the interest form. And we have a few confirmed travelers. So we're going to begin to connect more with the travelers and start kind of our pre-trip connections very soon. So the first deadline to come on this amazing experience with us, which is fast approaching, is that we invite anyone who's interested to fill out the application form by June 1st. And

If you have any questions or you just want to talk through things, or if you want to see if you feel in resonance with my energy or the energy of the trip, you know, please book a discovery call with me. There is a link to that that you can find on the website, but I'm sure Nicole, you can probably include it as well in the show notes. Um,

So, another little note here, too, is if for those of us who say yes to journeying with us in September, we are offering a special limited time opportunity and we'll share more about that later. So, I think that's the first part of the details. Yeah. And then, yeah, let's talk about who the trip is for.

Yes. So this pilgrimage to Egypt is for anyone, anyone who feels the call to experience the deep magic of this ancient land within a sacred container of community and siblinghood. So it's really important to us that this trip is open and welcoming of anyone who has a heart to just experience Egypt. It's an opportunity, we believe very strongly, for us to journey alongside the

others who have similar interests and curiosities about the land and who are open to tapping into the transformative energy of Egypt as a whole with the intention to heal, to grow, to experience all of it.

So whether you're seeking spiritual growth, ancestral connection, or if you simply just love traveling and you haven't been to Egypt or you've been there before and you want to go again, all of that is welcome. Really, we've designed this pilgrimage to guide folks on a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around us. So even in our pre-calls and our integration calls, we'll weave in cultural awareness to making sure that we prepare appropriately for our trip.

And all it's really important to me and Nicole, I speak for you too, of just creating a space for folks to feel safe and, and, and able to ask all the questions and explore their curiosities.

So we typically see, and from the pilgrimage I went on, it was all women. We typically see more women than men saying yes to an Egypt pilgrimage. But I want to make sure that we articulate here that we've designed it for all souls.

So I know you've received some questions from folks and I have from a couple others of like whether they, that women who are interested in the trip want to bring their spouse. Absolutely. Yes, of course. So all are welcome. Did I cover that good, Nicole? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I think, you know,

And I don't want to speak for you, but when we first talked, you were mentioning that you really wanted it to be more embracing the divine feminine and that sort of energy and everything. And when we talked early on, you know, and I was tuning in, we all have masculine and feminine energy.

we may identify in one way or the other. And that's not this podcast episode today. This is more, it's inclusive for all. So if you're feeling that caller led and you're like, man, I want to go, but I'm not necessarily sure, ask yourself, you know, why, you know, and maybe it's not the right time or anything else. And that's one thing, but yes, we have definitely made this so that

all can join at the same time. We want to make sure everyone's going to, for the most part, get along, you know, that there's a healthy curiosity, that we're all open to different experiences. But I have, you know, so much confidence and I know this, I keep saying to my heart and soul, this is like the message in this episode here, that all the people who need to go on this trip for whatever reason are going to all come together and go because that's how God, universe, source,

you know, makes it happen and matches us all in the right divine timing. Yes. And,

And so it is. Exactly. Exactly. So why is this trip different? Brie has traveled with our guide, Ahmed, before. We've mentioned it on the prior episode and here as well. And due to Ahmed's Egyptologist background and his understanding of the spiritual potency of the land, we will have a guide experience unlike most. And when one travels to Egypt, their guide is a make or break their experience. And I certainly can't wait to meet him.

And, you know, as I mentioned, and I, and again, I really loved my guide the first trip. And I think it was like the right balance, you know, for the reason why I was going there. But, you know, it is the difference between a tourist experience versus one of a spiritually transformative experience. And that was the thing that I was really hoping to get for this next iteration. Because, hey, it takes, you know, we're not in Europe.

So to fly over there, I mean, unless you're coming from Europe or another place over there. Great. Good for you. Again, all are welcome. But coming from the United States, it's a long journey and long travel there. And we want to make the most of it. So there's that. But and feel free to jump in, Brie. But for this trip in particular, we're going to have private access to sacred sites. And that's not unheard of. But the locations that we will have private access to and the facilitation of the private experience is unique.

The ways in which we will get the opportunity to have a deep soul connection to the sites, like you were talking about earlier, that we are visiting will be unlike something one has likely experienced before, and it will truly be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Did you want to share anything else about that?

I do want to say too, what I loved about my experience the first time is that there were private access to certain sites that weren't even on our itinerary. That Ahmed was like, oh, you know, that curated last minute for us, tapped into the energy of the group. So I think that that's what is unique. I mean, of course, we're going to have the private access to some of the more common ones, but we're going to get that unique experience.

kind of moving with the energy of the group and what there is to explore. So I'm really excited for people to experience that. And that's sometimes the best stuff. I mean, when I travel with my friends and other people, I have people in particular that we, they're my adventurers. Like we go and then others where, you know, I know that they just want to chill and relax or whatever. But when you go and you have those moments of opportunity,

Especially when you can kind of read the situation or what's going on, that makes it all the more magical. So this is a facilitated soul journey, not just a tourist trip. We're going to hold space for travelers before, during, and after the trip to truly integrate their entire experience. Once someone says yes to this trip, things may begin shifting in their life far before they actually land on board.

on the sacred ground of Egypt. It's kind of like when somebody books a session with me or anyone else, you know, they said that those often depending on what the conversation is like, then they'll say, oh, I experienced this, this or this. It could be weeks, months in advance. And that's only a session with somebody, let alone some sort of trip that is meant to be a once in a lifetime experience. And you're not going to only have one-on-one time with me and Bree throughout the entire trip.

But we are also offering for those who will be going a customized experience with each of us. This is something that neither of us have ever offered before, an opportunity to connect in deep sister and brotherhood. So Bree, would you please share the additional trip details unless there's anything else you wanted to talk about before we move on there?

No, I'm ready. So I thought maybe I'll share just a little bit about our itinerary. And on the website too, there's more details for each day. But just to kind of give an overwhelm, we're going to start in Luxor. And the beautiful thing is we're going to gather probably that first day and have dinner together, meet with each other and give you a chance to rest from your long trip. So that's

The other thing, there will be moments on this trip that might feel a little like, ah, going from one place to another, because that's just kind of what we signed up for. But we also really intentionally try to put in parts of the trip where you can integrate, connect, relax. And so that's another thing just to keep in mind that we tried really hard to balance that. So right away, we're going to visit the Sekhmet Chapel. And we're going to also visit the Temple of Mut and Karnak Temples.

And then we'll go to the Kings Valley and the Queens Valley. And the other thing that I love about this trip is that we'll experience some of the local life as well. So when we're in Luxor, we'll be able to go to an artisan village and actually kind of see how the local families design certain stones and, you know, other pieces of art.

from their ancestors. So we also tried to, it's not like a trip to Egypt to shop all the time, but Ahmed has specifically picked out certain places for us to go to really get authentic experience if we want to take home parts of Egypt with us. So I'm really excited about that.

We'll be visiting the Hatshepsut Temple, which was one of the most memorable experiences that I had when I was there. It's a beautiful, magnificent temple. And we'll also be taking a hot air balloon ride for those who want. I have never been on one. That's going to be magical.

It's so magical. My first time was when my first trip to Egypt and it was just, it was amazing. It was so, so beautiful. So I'm excited for folks to experience that. And then we'll also be visiting Dendara and Abydos. So for those who, just another little sneak peek, or actually this was a video, or I can't remember if I shared, excuse me, that's not a video. It's a book, Bree. Choose your words. But I think I shared the Amseti book recommendation. So-

So Abydos is where this British woman who was reincarnate from ancient Egypt times lived and cared for the temples. So we're actually going to be able to go there and like walk, like see that. Yeah. And then we'll also be able to experience the Nile, which is something I didn't experience the first time in the way we are going to this time. So I'm really, really excited.

I didn't. I was only on one of those little boats down the Nile. I was like, that's the one thing I didn't do. But I felt it was kind of like when you go to NOLA or New Orleans and you're like, well, I want to go to the swamp. And then you get on the boat. Like, I don't want that tourist experience. So the way that you're experiencing it or sharing that, that's going to sound amazing. Yeah.

It's going to be amazing. Yes, it's going to be. And that was my first trip too. We did do a boat on the Nile, but this is actually sailing. And we'll also be sailing on a lake near the Philae Temple as well. And then another thing I didn't do my first trip was the Abu Simbel.

So we didn't spend a lot of time there. So I'm really excited to experience the temples of Ramses II and his wife Nefertiti. And then we'll also experience the Nubian village, which I'm also excited about because just Nubian culture in general and really kind of tapping into my African roots. Like I feel like it's going to be really fun for all of us to experience that part of Africa in Egypt. So then we'll head to Cairo.

And in Cairo, we're going to see the first pyramid, which we're going to save the best for last. So we'll see the pyramids of Giza. But it's a really... I saw it when I saw the first pyramid. I was like... I know.

Sorry, Egypt or whatever the name of that pyramid is. Oh my gosh. But yes, I was like, really? This is what I came all the way here for? Exactly. I'm like, this doesn't look, but I think Ahmed plans that strategically. I know. Yeah, I can see that. And so one of my most favorite parts was the private opening of the Sphinx and in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid.

And I don't really want to talk a lot about that because I want people to experience it without having any preconceived ideas. But it's just a really magical experience. And we will get a chance to go back during the daytime.

And you can see a stark difference because during the daytime, tons of people are there. And it does, to be honest, feel more touristy because it's one of the most visited places. But we will get that private access. No one will be there except for us. And we get to really sit and soak in the land. And I think we're going the wee hours of the morning, if I remember correctly.

I'll be sure to get my sleep in the night before. Yes. Or maybe I won't because I'll be too excited. That's true. But then after we do that, you'll be able to take a nap before the rest of the day.

And then we're going to experience, have kind of like a fun night in Khan el-Khalili, which is like this big, narrow streets, beautiful old mosques, places to shop, hookah if you want to partake. So we're going to get an understanding of kind of the old Islamic atmosphere of Cairo. And that, I mean, that's...

In a nutshell. I mean, I hope I did it justice. You did. You did. You did a phenomenal job. Thank you for that. And again, if you want to go online and take a look at the itinerary in more detail, you can do that for sure. But I did see when I was looking at it before we were working together and partnered up, I could tell where there was intention to have the breaks and to, you know,

I don't know, work in other things because you also want to be able to have some time to yourself if you want to experience something on top of that. And that's a lot to do still in two weeks. Oh, absolutely. Yes. Very intentional about that. And thank you. Thank you for that. I'm

I mean, there are some trips where you want to hit the ground running and it's not really a vacation because you're move, move, move. We're going to be move, move, moving, but also resting and integrating. Yes. So the total price for the first people that commit is $8,888. And there are still monthly payment options available. This price includes water.

Two meals a day, so unlimited pretty much water for the travel, the trip in the bus that we or the van that we ride in. You'll get two meals a day, breakfast always at the hotel. And the hotels we're staying at are really nice and they have a widespread of options for people with all kinds of dietary needs.

It includes all the transportation once you land in Egypt. So you will be responsible for getting to Egypt. And you do receive some flight recommendations from us and all those details. But we will be flying, of course, from Luxor to Cairo. And the price, the $8,888, covers your flight for that and all of your hotel stay. And then, of course, all the access to excursions.

So the things and you get an in-depth manual on travel guide of what to pack, what to wear, what to bring as like recommendations on how much money you need to bring. So pretty much most things are included other than if you want that third meal, which there's always going to be options to eat, right? But a lot of times because of the robustness of the two meals,

we often found that we didn't have like a sit down third meal. But we always check in with the energy of the group. And so there's always going to be food available for you to purchase. And then of course, any things that you want to buy from the shops, we're going to be going to a beautiful shop to look at all the ancient or all the Egyptian oils. So for those who like oils. I still have oils for my first trip.

Oh my gosh, me too. And I'm holding on to them. I know, I got so much. I'm like, what am I going to do with all this? But I also didn't want to use it. So... I know, you want to savor it. But amazing smells. Um...

So there's also on the website details of what's included and what's not included. And there's also a link to a more detailed spreadsheet because you'll need to get your Egypt visa, which is about 25 bucks. Make sure you have an updated passport. But all those things are on the website. Or if you have any questions, again, shoot me an email or schedule a discovery call. But I want to share here too that this price is a steal.

We tried so hard to make it as affordable as possible, given the rising costs of everything. Like even when I compare how much my trip costed just in 2021 compared to now, like things are getting more and more expensive. But we wanted to try our best to make it as accessible as possible to as many people. And also most excursions to Egypt around this price point are not 14 days. They're usually less.

And they don't include a lot of the additional experiences that we're putting into this, which I'll get to here in a moment. So honestly, like you're probably not going to find a trip. Well, we did it on purpose. Yeah. Because all the reasons you said, I was like, we're going to make it accessible for people, but also because we want to be able to allow you that not only the opportunity experiences and meet you and everything else, but to help inform us on future trips too. Yeah.

So for other people. Yeah. So you kind of get on the ground with us. Cause yeah, I feel like this is only the beginning of our adventures. So some extras just to kind of talk about those. Does it make sense to go into that now? So we'll have pre-trip calls and this is just to hold space, to get to know one another a little bit better so that you're not meeting each other for the first time when you land in Luxor. Okay.

And this is where we'll answer any questions that you have, talk more details about the trip, share in our excitement. You'll also get some resources prior to the trip, a detailed travel manual that includes like what to bring, cultural competence, like just awareness tips.

of traveling, all the things you could possibly need, a packing list, all of that. And if I may, I will say that that cultural aspect is huge and important. I learned so much during my first trip and our guide was very intentional about explaining certain cultural things.

It would have been phenomenal also to know that beforehand, not because I would have done anything different because it was very educational for me, but to keep that and consider that, you know, for example, clothing, there are certain things from a clothing perspective. And when you're there, I mean, yeah, there was, I mean, luckily I had, I overpacked for sure. But there weren't some people that did. So things like that, that's, it's huge.

also understanding it's different. There's so many different cultures that are there. Yes, absolutely. And I think that this is like a way, like a good practice for us all to get in of just like learning about that in advance. And it's not just because it's an important thing to do or the right thing to do, but it's also like to help make your trip

as comfortable as possible. Yes. You know? So anyway, I just wanted to add that. So thank you for letting me. Yeah. And it made me think when you said clothing, because one of my friends, she was describing her trip and there was a person on the trip that only packed jeans and was miserable because they were there at like the hottest time. So yeah, we went, it was really hot. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, not just culturally, but just also, yeah. There's a reason why most people, when you look at photos from Egypt, when they go on trips, are wearing khakis. Yes. Or linen. Or linen or something. Yes.

You'll also have access to a Telegram group. So we're going to get that started here pretty soon. But it's just a way for us all to connect to each other. And you will also be added to a Telegram group for while we are there, where myself, Nicole, and Ahmed will be in. So you will always have access to us some way or another. But we're sticking together the whole time. But that's just another bonus. But we'll be in there prior to the trip and after the trip.

So that we can kind of reflect on the trip together, prepare, get excited together. Integration calls. So as I've said many times, your Egypt experience, as you mentioned, Nicole, starts to happen as soon as you say yes.

And it can continue for years after you actually step foot on the land. So we want to make sure to hold space for your reintegration back into life and to support you in that. So we'll have a few calls after the trip where we can connect. And also, we're calling in people who are going to have a bond that expands beyond just the trip. And I think...

you know, that to me is very likely that you will be with these people for an extended amount of time, having profound experiences. So we wanted to make sure that there was still a space that you could connect with your group that's a little more facilitated. And then, you know, I mean, I'm still talking with some of the people from my group even years later. Can I add real quick something to that? Yeah. That you said that. So I mentioned I went with my best friend. The

The first time, she was not my best friend. She was actually my client. Did I tell you this story? No. Yeah. So she was my client when I worked in Atlanta and I won't say which company, but she was a new client and she was getting a tour of the agency in the office and I was going to be her day to day. And the long and short of it is, is that she said she was going on a trip to Egypt. And I said, first thing when I met her, I just had this huge psychic

hit, but she didn't know that at the time. And I go, I'm going on that trip to Egypt with you. And she was like, okay. You are? Uh-huh. And I did. I forced myself in somehow. And then on that trip, she became my best friend. Okay. That's amazing. Oh my God. So yeah. So I'm not saying we're all going to become best friends, but we are definitely going to become more and more connected and community for sure. And also some new best friends.

Okay. I didn't even know that. And even when you were describing, I remember you like, I think you said in this previous podcast where you had some kind of energetic experience and you like grabbed onto her arm. Like that's something I imagine like you would do with your best friend, but like you were just beginning your friendship. That is what people do to you. Pretty much. Yep. I'm also weird, but you know, I say that to myself in a loving way, but anyhow. All right. So what else? Integration calls. Okay.

Yes. So integration calls and then behind the scenes sacred experiences, which again, I might not even know some of them. And there are certain spots in Egypt that you all will understand just from a cultural sensitivity perspective that we wouldn't share publicly. So yeah, for those who come on the trip, it really is going to be a unique experience for you. And then the one-on-one time and customized experience with me and Nicole throughout the whole trip.

But that leads me to a special promotion that I want to get more details now. Please do. Which is just a reminder, the deadline to apply is June 1st. After that, the price will go up to $10,000 per person. So before June 1st, it's $8,888. After June 1st, it's $10,000 per person. And there will not be a monthly payment option after that.

So all travelers, though, who place their deposit, oh, let me say one more thing. The absolute deadline is July 1st. And we do this deadline just because we have to reserve the local flights and we have to reserve those private tours to make sure we get access to all of the exciting things we have planned for you. So absolute deadline, July 1st.

Deadline to get it at the $8,888 price is June 1st. And all travelers who place your deposit by June 1st will receive a special one-on-one session with both myself and Nicole in Egypt. Yes.

Yeah. I'm excited for this. I am too, because it's going to be really powerful while we're there in so many ways. Yes. All right. I had a question. It escaped me. It will probably come back. So, but yes, great job on that. So anything else that you wanted to share before I kind of close this out?

No, I feel complete. I'm just even more excited than I was at the beginning of the call. We're doing it. I know. Okay. Well, I want to end this by saying that my soul is super happy and so excited to be able to do this trip and journey with you, Bree, the listeners. For those who know me, I do not do things small. So when I announced at various times that I was working on retreats,

or workshops and more. I really wanted the first A Psychic Story trip to not be just that, a trip or retreat, but a soulful experience. The human and spiritual beings going on this first one with us, like we talked about before, will have amazing chance to give input and impact future experiences for others.

And I know that the world can be a scary place at times. The news is straight up propaganda at times. Social media isn't helping, but I did ask God, universe source, my guides and angels when the best time to do this was. And this has been two or three years I've been asking.

And they kept saying September, September, September 2025. So I am trusting again with my full heart and being that this message and direction is, you know, for us. So if you have ever felt called or feel called now to go to Egypt, now is your time. This is your sign to go with us to help shift our lives.

not only that within you, but to help make a difference by being in a sacred place, tuning into its resonance, sharing your energy with it. You will make a profound impact and experience amazing things. We hope to see you in person. You can find out more by going to briannaclover.com or psychicstory.com.

And I remember the question I was going to ask you. Actually, it wasn't really a question. It was more, I was getting about the size of the group. So we also designed this where it's not a ton of people, that it's going to be a smaller group. And, you know, I think we were saying like 15 people max, but I think it's going to be closer to 10 is what we're going to get at. So if you're, if that was one of the questions that you had and we didn't address it, wanted to mention that.

Good point. Glad you said that. Yes. We're a lot to cover. So we covered a lot, but that's officially it. Well, thanks everyone for listening. Hopefully you enjoyed this conversation. Go over to social media too, where we are going to share some of those other photos and videos and the other news. I usually have them highlighted in my stories, but especially when this episode drops, I'll be sure to pull them back up to the top. So thanks. And till later.
