Join a Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey into the Heart of Gnostic Egypt
Embark on an unforgettable educational tour led by internationally renowned expert Dr. David Litwa, a leading authority on Roman Alexandria and the Hermetica. This immersive experience combines a unique confluence of education, adventure and spiritual exploration, featuring regular on-site lectures in the sacred landscape of Egypt itself.
This journey is dedicated to Gnostic Egypt—especially its Hermetic traditions. You’ll visit iconic landmarks like the Pyramids of Giza and the Saqqaran Necropolis, but you’ll also venture far beyond the typical tourist route. Explore pivotal spiritual centers such as Alexandria and Hermopolis—birthplaces of Hermetic and Gnostic philosophy and mysticism.
As you stand where ancient sages once walked, you’ll be guided by none other than Dr. Litwa—the translator of Hermetica I & II, the complete Greek and Coptic philosophical texts. He will lead you in the “Way of Immortality,” offering rare insights available only from a scholar of his caliber.
Dr. Litwa is also a world authority on the origins of Christianity in Alexandria and the author of Early Christianity in Alexandria. This ancient city wasn’t just the cradle of Hermetic thought—it was likely the birthplace of Christian metaphysics. Alexandria gave rise to towering spiritual figures like Philo, Valentinus, Basilides, and Clement, and—according to Dr. Litwa—possibly the Gospels of Thomas and John.
In Alexandria, you’ll visit historic teaching sites, encounter places connected to the Therapeutae, and descend underground to witness a stunning fusion of Greek and Egyptian art—in vivid, living color.
Dr. Litwa may never offer this journey again. The trip is affordably priced, with a $500 discount for early registrants who sign up prior to August 25, 2025. The 9-day, 8-night package includes all meals, accommodations, site entry fees, guiding by a personal Egyptologist, cameo lecturers and daily lectures and group discussions led by Dr Litwa.
Don’t miss the chance to walk the sacred path where Western spirituality was born.
