TEMPLE BODY
February 15-24, 2026
Humanity stands at a threshold…
We all can feel it. The old world is crumbling. And the new one is ready to be born.
The ancient Egyptian civilization, not as it was distorted by colonial history, but as remembered by the Egyptian natives, elders and their books, was once a place when all people were supported to thrive and when leadership was stewarded in direct connection with Earth and cosmos. It carried the codes of harmony. Of art, spirit, and society woven as one. A living memory of what it means to care for all and blossom together. Now, in our time of global transition, artists are not being called to entertain , as we never truly were. We are being summoned to create from truth. To tend the emerging frequency of the new world through our presence.
The world no longer needs more content. It longs for authenticity.
For reverent beauty. For art that awakens the soul and inspires us to be better for this planet,
to care more deeply for one another, to live from remembrance.
In February 2026, we return to Egypt, called by it’s natives the Mother of Civilization. We travel to listen, to move, to remember together the power of the human body and creative mind, walking with reverence as an embodied prayer. Not just for ourselves but for the songs, movements, images, and prayers that are ready to be born through us for the blossoming of the collective.
Temple Body Nile Cruise is:
A sacred retreat into the body.
A creative pilgrimage.
A space where we honor the body first, as a temple.
A living temple that connects with the ancient ones,
that remembers, that activates and gets activated,
that holds something older than time itself.
We come to feel, to process.
To awaken the body as an oracle
and let the river and the elders be our guides.
We believe that when we, as artists, come home to our bodies, we become instruments for Creation herself.
It includes:
A private Nile cruise, our moving sanctuary, where we sleep, move, create, and rest surrounded by the timeless presence of water and sky
Guided visits to ancient temples, held by a native Egyptian elder and wisdom keeper — not as tourists, but as initiates of memory
A private entry into the Great Pyramid of Giza, where we will hold a soul-voice activation ceremony within the resonance of the King’s Chamber
Daily movement and voice practices to awaken your Temple Body — as the ancients once did
Space for integration, ritual, silence, and shared creative expression
A held container to feel, to grieve, to be re-tuned through the power of the body and the land
This journey is designed to activate the Temple Body — as ancient Egyptians once understood — through direct communion with the temples, the river, and the living memory of the Earth.
The Journey
Temple Body Nile Cruise is a 10-day, 9-night sacred pilgrimage for creatives, visionaries, and soul-led humans — curated with reverence and depth.
How we move
This is not a retreat to consume experiences.
It is a pilgrimage — a living initiation — guided by the wisdom of the land, the body, and the collective field.
We move with reverence
With rhythm
With trust in what wants to emerge.
This project marks a new chapter in an extraordinary collaboration rooted in friendship, artistry, and a shared reverence for the sacred aspect of human creativity.
Birthed by Ryan Burke and Odna Dobrowolska, two visionaries who met and co-created in New York City, this experience blends the worlds of Ancient Egypt, art, body awareness and sacred exploration.
Ryan is a visionary artist and creative innovator whose work transcends boundaries of identity, beauty, and self-expression. Through transformative visual artistry—using makeup, costume, and the human form as a living canvas—he invites the world to see art as a sacred act of storytelling and a bridge to the divine.
His bold creations have taken him across the globe, shaping projects in fashion, music, and collaborative artistry. A lifelong creator, Ryan weaves beauty into every medium he touches. His latest journey into music has led him to DJing in New York, where he curates sonic experiences that blend seamlessly with his artistic world, offering immersive, multidimensional expressions of creativity.
Odna is a visionary healing artist and mystic, devoted to the exploration and expression of Source force through the human body. Her work illuminates creativite expression as a sacred connection to the divine.
Living in Egypt’s Sahara desert for the past five years, Odna has immersed herself in deep research on human potential, embodiment, and ancient wisdom. Her journey has been shaped by plant medicine ceremonies in Egypt’s temples, shamanic initiations in Gabon, and mentorship under native Egyptian wisdom keeper Shahrzad Aywan.
Her latest projects include sonic explorations, sound installations, and voice activations, merging deep meditative states with transformative creative expression.
Recognized as a performance artist, choreographer, vocalist, trance dancer, and master space-holder, Odna’s work has graced prestigious venues like the Great Pyramid of Giza, Isis Temple, MoMA PS1, NYC Fashion Week, Luma Festival, and the Got To Dance TV show.
