Hi, Of the many trips I've taken with Intention Beads. I have to say the trip to Egypt was AMAZING!!! Basically any trip you go on with Sandy Rueve will be wonderful and unforgettable. This trip was filled with sailing down the Nile. Fly up in a Hot Air Baloon! AND... Sleeping in the Sahara Desert. WOW!

Sandy does a fantastic job of planning these retreats and communicating the details with us in advance and during the stay. She finds the most beautiful locations and I learn so much from these, about astrology and myself. The Human Design component of this retreat was so fascinating! I will be a return attendee to these retreats as often as I can make them work!

This was my 2nd Astrology Retreat with Sandy in Mexico. Like the first one, everything was wonderful! The people, the food, the Resort, and the unbelievable location, all contributed to a beautiful, peaceful week. But what keeps me coming back is the camaraderie and support that develops during the learning we receive, and the growth we have during the retreats. Learning in a group setting and having others recognize us and our traits helps me really understand who I am, how I am, and what stories I need to let go of. Sandy works her magic, creating a safe, loving space for us to really look inside and bring out what needs to heal. Thank you Sandy for being a catalyst for us and allowing the energy take us to where we need to be! Christine Flowers

I have taken many trips over the course of my life, and this is one of my very favorites! Sandy is one of the most fun and thoughtful organizers that I have ever met! This retreat was hosted at Casa Tara, which was the most perfect place to be in the beginning of January. The resort was perfect with its amenities, food, and service and I would stay again! Sandy gave astrological aspects to each individual attendant and with Christine, we learned about our own Human Design aspects. Putting these powerful tools together, with our small group, we were able to see ourselves in new ways. I have come home from this retreat, not only feeling physically refreshed, but am inspired with a new sense of moving forward in my life. Yes- One of my most favorite trips indeed! Thank you Sandy! This was my first retreat with you, and definitely, will not be my last! Cheers!

Sandy is a thoughtful leader who brings together diverse people who help to make your experience more than a simple trip. This journey through Egypt provides an opportunity for the traveler to experience the culture, investigate historical sites, and enjoy the beauty of the land in a safe group atmosphere that allows everyone to focus on what is most important to him or her. Our trip included visits to Giza and numerous temples with a knowledgeable Egyptologist who helped everyone imagine themselves in ancient Egypt, a scenic trip along the Nile that tapped everyone’s spiritual side with the peace and beauty of the environment, a beginners course in Egyptian astrology that brought the philosophy of the ancient Egyptians to light, and a trip to the desert full of peace and natural beauty where one couldn't help but ponder all the secrets of the universe as one examined seashells among the granules of sand, the passage of millions of years through petrified wood, the changing beauty of the desert as the sun sets and rises, and the meaning of life. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and their place in the universe.
