[Healing-circle] Fwd: Invitation to the Sinai-Healing-Walkabout 2007 (in the Attachment)

[Peter Lewerenz]

SINAI HEALING-WALKABOUT
from 25. September until middle of October 2007

Dear Sisters and Brothers,
be happily invited for the 7th walkabout in Sinai/Egypt!
Again we will walk in the area of Mount Sinai.
This time the walk is inspired by the idea of “walking like the bedouins in former times”, 
from water to water, with dried food, but without animals.
We will go without paid help, that means we will carry everything (food, water, equipment) on our backs.

We meet at “Farsha Loosa” (Almondtreeplateau) west of “Eliaz Garden” 
almost at the top of “Gebl Mussa” (Mount Moses / Mount Sinai).
Please bring food. (Water they sell at the stands on way up, of cause higher price.)

Before we start walking, we will dry food (vegetables and fruits). 
This is also the reason why the walk starts at the end of September, when it could be still hot - but also there is plenty of nice fresh food at that time of the year. Also we organize the route by contacting locals (contacts exist from the last walkabouts) and start growing  together as a family.
It will be a retreat-walkabout, so we like to stay free from tobacco, marijuana, sugar, black & green tea, 
coffee, alcohol and any other drugs. Please respect and tell everybody you invite.

Salam aleikum - peace be with you
 The Vision is:
-	The intent is to WALK, about 10-20km per day - if watersupply is more far, more. While walking we´ve the chance to give up more and more our daily thoughts, this gives us the chance to hear our inner voice. 
-	Maybe silent days (we don´t speak). They are very strong and nice in the desert… the silence of the desert

 What to expect in the nature of Sinai: 
-	It could be very cold (minus degrees) at nighttime and it could be very hot at daytime. 
-	Mt. Sinai is 2285m high.
-	We will walk in the sun more or less (suncream and head protection).
-	The ground is sandy, rocky, stoney and dusty (good shoes).
-	We are in a desert, so the water is rare – we have to carry all our food and water. So 3-4 extra kilos minimum to everybodies luggage have to be expected.
-	To make fire, there is little wood, but usualy enough, and dry camelshit.
