Sekhmet
Transformation In the Belly of the Goddess
A transformative journey into the heart of the Egyptian Mysteries.
Nicki Scully's "Sekhmet: Transformation in the Belly of the Goddess”
Offered by Nik Balogh and Cheryl Aarts, this week-long intensive retreat guides participants through a process of alchemical transformation.
​
You are invited to drink deeply of the nectar of the Goddess, and awaken to renewed life! Sekhmet’s name means Power, the Mighty One. She is the feminine face of the sun, the Lady of Flame. Known to all traditions, her myths and legends are as old as time. Sekhmet, the Egyptian goddess of both destruction and healing is the feminine fire that transforms; she is also the quintessential compassionate healer. Sekhmet’s name is resounding from the lips of men and women who are actively reclaiming their power.
​
​This powerful process begins with a tangible way to transmute the most difficult qualities and characteristics you carry in your body, mind, soul, and spirit; those troublesome habit patterns that keep you from achieving the full potential of your sacred purpose in this life.
You and your offerings will be devoured by the goddess, and you will observe and participate in the experience of the devouring, digesting, and rebuilding of your being as you learn to walk between worlds and live the magic and power of this extremely vital Goddess.
As with any deep shamanic/alchemical work, you will experience shamanic death, disintegration, and an extraordinary opportunity for illumination while you are reconstructed and renewed in a way that feeds both the personal and collective evolutionary processes. This work is accomplished through a number of powerful initiatory rites and shamanic journeys that have matured since Nicki Scully began this work with Sekhmet in Switzerland in1997.
There is a depth of connection and Majik that happens when we completely immerse ourselves in these teachings and stay in them together in a held sacred space.

Facilitators
Nik Balogh
Nik has been working closely with Sekhmet for over a decade and has walked this journey with Nicki Scully many times. She had the honor of co-facilitating this course with Nicki a few times as well. It is with great reverence and gratitude that she has the opportunity to share this powerful alchemical process with those that are hearing Sekhmet's call.
Cheryl Aarts
Cheryl had the privilege and honor of being introduced to Sekhmet from Nicki Scully in the fall of 2017. From that moment on, Sekhmet has been a significant and powerful Ally in her life. Helping Cheryl heal her deep wounds, this powerful Goddess has helped countless numbers of Cheryl’s clients who have received Alchemical Healing. It is now an honor and a privilege to continue Nicki’s legacy and sharing this incredible work. To stand before Sekhmet is truly a remarkable and humbling experience and I am excited to share her magic and healing with all of you.
