Paris, London and Edinburgh - Exploring the Mystery of Leonardo DaVinci.

DaVinci Tour - A joyous adventure of luxury and discovery with best-selling author Simon Cox, Alaura O'Dell, and Oona Mourier.

We will travel into the mysterious world of The DaVinci Code with the unparalleled guidance of an expert in the field of alternative history ­ Simon Cox, best-selling author of Cracking the DaVinci Code. This will be an amazing inner journey, an opportunity to bring the bigger questions of your life to the surface and delve deeply into your own meaning of the feminine divine.

The tour will take you through the cities of Paris, London, and Edinburgh, and will give you the opportunity to search for the sacred feminine within yourself and the world around you. Playful exploration, problem-solving, journal writing, and immersion in the language and beauty that Da Vinci and so many others recognized, will engage your intuition and open new pathways of thought and creativity.

For twelve days you will travel within this veiled world. Generations of men and women have followed this path, and you will be given the tools with which to find and nurture the creative divine within yourself and your environment. You will experience sacred landscapes, architecture, geometry, music, theatre and art.

Beginning in Paris, the City of Light, we will stay at the five-star Hotel du Louvre, which as you can imagine, is right across the street from the Louvre Museum, and offers incomparable service and amenities. From here, we will enter the magnificent museum and visit with some of Da Vinci's most famous works, including The Mona Lisa. In Paris we will also visit Saint-Sulpice cathedral, location of the mysterious "Rose Line", and a key location of Dan Brown's novel. The renowned Musee D'Orsay will also be included on our itinerary, and there will of course be time for shopping and relaxation. We will get to know each other on the "terrasse" of a café, sipping cappucino in the sun.

Rosslyn Chapel - Scotland
Early on the fifth day, we will travel to London via first-class train, through the Chunnel. There, our home will be The Covent Garden Hotel, a five-star boutique hotel in the center of the Theatre District and boasting an in-house spa and gym. Fancy a massage after your train ride? No problem. Guest speakers may join us for an evening dinner in our sumptuous hotel, and we will begin the second part of our adventure. In London, we will visit Westminster Abbey ­ location of royal coronations, and burial place of many of the world's most famous scientists and poets. We will also spend time at Temple Church. This amazing structure was built by the Knights Templar and dedicated to the Blessed Mary. Simon Cox, who will travel with us and be our ever-present guide to the history and myth connected with all the sites, will also offer a very special tour of the British Museum.

And throughout all this history and investigation into the outer world, we will pull back into our own understanding and feeling about femininity, creativity, power, and much more. This is a chance to playfully explore all these connections, and how we view them in our own lives.

On the ninth day we will leave our delightful home in London, for another paradise, this time in the royal city of Edinburgh. Traveling again via first-class train through the gorgeous British countryside, we will finally arrive at the Caledonian Hilton in the center of Edinburgh. This amazing five-star hotel offers an award-winning restaurant, and serves Afternoon Tea for the weary traveler. Edinburgh Castle is only one block away! Edinburgh is a wonderful city, rich with history, shopping, and is small enough to travel through in a few hours on foot. Via luxury coach, we will take a short journey to the utterly unique and fascinating Rosslyn Chapel - home to hundreds of stone sculptures, each with a story to tell, and a deep connection to the history of the Knights Templar, and with connections to pagan gods and goddesses.

Our stay in Edinburgh will bring us to the end of our unforgettable journey into this exploration of the feminine divine, Da Vinci, and the mysteries alluded to in Dan Brown's best-seller. This is a transformational, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore some of the fascinating questions surrounding Da Vinci and the Templars with a celebrated author and scholar. It is also an adventure into your own mind, exploring your vision, imagination, and dream-world. Join us, and bring it all to light!
