Vishen & Sanctum Are Coming to Egypt’s North Coast at The Med

They say the sea holds secrets—and this summer, one of them is whispering through the breeze on Egypt’s North Coast.

Somewhere between the golden dunes and crystalline blues of The Med by People & Places—Sahel’s newest design-led coastal haven—an ultra-private, invite-only experience is quietly taking shape. And if the rumours are to be believed, it’s drawing a very select few into a ritual of mind, body, soul, and a touch of magic unlike anything these shores have seen before.

Presented by The Med by People & Places, and curated by iEvents and Soulful Festival—the creative minds behind some of the region’s most transformative experiences—this gathering isn’t being shouted from rooftops. But we’ve managed to sneak a peek behind the proverbial curtain—and here’s what we found out:

‘Awaken at The Med’ is a one-day wellness immersion, at the heart of which is Sanctum—the soulful ritual workout born in Amsterdam and beloved from Mykonos to Mexico—landing in Egypt for the very first time. Equal parts spiritual release and high-vibration movement, Sanctum is where participants move barefoot, phone-free, and immersed in sound delivered through wireless headphones.

Also making his Egypt debut is Vishen Lakhiani, founder of the global personal growth platform Mindvalley, and one of the most influential figures in the world of conscious leadership and self-transformation. A best-selling author, speaker, and visionary, Vishen will lead a transformative talk exploring consciousness, connection, and what it means to live in an elevated state.

But the wellness doesn’t stop there.

Beyond enjoying all-day access to Sensations—Egypt’s first outdoor beachside wellness zone with everything from a sauna and rain shower to an ice plunge facing the sea—participants can continue their wellness journey with a powerful yoga flow led by two of the region’s most beloved teachers: Farah Nofal and Asma El-Hossieny. The experience then deepens with a mindful pilates session led by Soline, designed to awaken core strength and build heat for what comes next.

And what comes next is the final exhale of the day: an emotive, organic live set performed by Chiati, who will lead a sonic ritual of rhythm, presence, and release.

And because no sensory journey is complete without flavour, Sage—Cairo’s beloved wellness kitchen—is said to be behind the exclusive affair’s menu.

Though the experience itself is clearly no longer a secret, one mystery remains: when and exactly where inside The Med by People & Places will it all unfold? But whether or not that knowledge ever reaches our ears…well, that may depend on who’s whispering.
