Join global ritual expert Barbara Biziou for a special private tour of ancient Egypt at the Met Museum in NYC. Having been on a spiritual pilgrimage to Egypt multiple times, she is ready to share with you her personal experience as well as the ancient metaphysical knowledge she has accumulated over the years.
This is a spiritual pilgrimage, and what makes it different from your average trip to the museum (or to any place) is that you will notice the effect that the objects in the Egyptian collection have on your body and spirit as well as participate in a healing ritual.
The Met Museum has an extensive Ancient Egyptian collection. Many pieces are thousands of years old. As an ancient being yourself, you will notice that particular objects, symbols, messages, and even jewelry may “light you up.” You may get a heavy or excited feeling in a specific part of your body – your stomach, abdomen, or top of your head. You will be encouraged to notice your body is reactions while walking through the exhibits. We will stop as a group periodically to share and read these energies using our clairvoyance. No prior experience is required.
You will discover the spiritual practices and ancient rituals of ancient Egypt. Stand in front of ancient statues of Sekhmet—the goddess of healing (and destruction)—and receive a healing and her wisdom. Learn the meaning of living a good life through a room of papyrus containing all the spells from the Book of the Dead. You may even have the chance to see your ancient self in a 6,000-year-old mirror!
We will be a tight group of 6-10 people, so this event will have limited availability.
“Oh my, that was one of my best days in NYC! I loved loved the pilgrimage to the Met with you. It was rich with spiritual experiences, meaning and relevant information that I was genuinely fascinated by. Your communication style was clear, gentle, humble, accessible and meaningful. I am so grateful, thank you!”

“With Barbara as my guide, I saw the Met’s Egyptian collection with fresh eyes and truly felt transported—temporally, spiritually, even cosmically. Our morning together left me with so much to chew on—ancient rituals and spiritual beliefs, history, mystery, and she introduced me to my new favorite deity. It was an incredible, lasting experience! The joy and inspiration has stayed with me.”

“Thank you Barbara, for an informative, heart centered and interesting tour through the Egyptian wing of the met! It was fascinating and helpful to hear how highly the Egyptians valued a light heart when leaving this life. Thank you for pointing out the Book of the Dead Papyrus and some of what it contained! Also learning about the goddess Sekhmet as a healer and protector, was fascinating. Thank you also for the solar plexus chakra practice! I am still meditating on many things you taught us about this ancient culture.
—Much Gratitude, Demitra V.”
“I loved this tour of the Egyptian wing. As a New Yorker who frequently visits the Met Museum, I often walk through and quickly look at the Egyptian artifacts. However on Barbara's tour I saw things I have never noticed or took the time to consider. It was enlightening to look at the exhibition in a new way. I definitely plan on going back to revisit some of the pieces we spent time with. I also plan on experiencing Barbara's spiritual tours again. Highly recommend her spirituality in the city tours for New Yorkers and people visiting the city!”

“Barbara’s tour of the Egyptian wing transcended time and space. She helped us connect to our ancestors and divinity. As a native New Yorker who frequents the Met, I have never had the opportunity to thoroughly explore the Egyptian wing. It’s filled with treasures, and Barbara is the most informative guide. I highly recommend!”

“This tour is definitely a pilgrimage. Barbara's deep reverence and insights into the MET’s Ancient Egyptian collection is evident. Throughout the tour Barbara shared her favorite pieces, many that I have previously overlooked, but also allowed us to explore the ones that spoke to us too. I highly recommend this tour for anyone heading to Egypt, has been to Egypt or may never get the chance.”
—Nancy C.
“With an upcoming trip to Egypt I was intrigued by Barbara's Spiritual Pilgrimage to the Met to learn about ancient Egypt. It was fantastic. Barbara's breadth of knowledge coupled with the artifacts themselves proved to be a deeply moving experience.”
