Tree of life QiQong is an integrated system developed by Ra Un Nefer Amen Hon. DD. Get the combined benefit of the ancient Chinese principles of health combined with the Kamitic (Ancient Egyptian) Tree of Life Meditation system. Then continue the healing at home with the instruction manual, DVD, CD and 5-organ system herbal formulas.

Transcending Stress Meditation Workshop: in just 60 minutes you'll learn how meditation can reduce your level of stress and give you a more positive and relaxed approach to life. This is an introductory workshop, but you can quickly become an expert with the Meditation Fundamentals Distance learning software and the guided meditation CDs, books and manuals.

Spiritual Readings: Sit down for a one-on-one consultation with a priest or priestess trained in the Ancient oracular system of the Metu Neter (word of God). Learn how to optimize your success in your career, relationships, family and personal life.

At 6pm join us for the Het-Heru Healing Dance - a dance of healing and sisterhood led by Queen Mother Maasht-Amm. The combination of spiritual music and movements will invoke a feeling of joy and happiness which is the ultimate healer for both body and mind.
