What a joy it was to sit down with Shehera Barnes to share about our journeys to Egypt with each other and learn more about her connection with the Goddess Isis.
Shehera grew up in Iran during a revolution, was connected to the divine from a young age, watching her grandmother pray and read the Qur'an to her.
She climbed the ladder of the fashion world but eventually left it all to devote herself fully to a path of healing and remembrance as a Priestess.
When Shehera learned about a Persian leader who destroyed many sacred artifacts and temples in Egypt, she knew she needed to bring souls back there to honor the Goddess, the temples and heal on behalf of her Persian ancestors.
Shehera is leading a group to Egypt this November 2 - 12 with a special ceremony on 11/11. She has a few spaces left! Join Shehera in Egypt and Use code MEREDITH111 to receive $111 off
