About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

The week before the Great Solar Eclipse.

A journey of purification, alignment, and gathering.

Before the sky darkens and a new cycle begins, we enter the waters of the Red Sea to clear distractions, reconnect with our purpose, and prepare ourselves for one of the most significant celestial events of our lifetime.

This is not the eclipse itself. It is the week that prepares you to receive it.

Why Join the Preparation Week?

- Arrive before the global attention converges on Egypt.
- Prepare your body, mind, and energy field for the eclipse.
- Experience deeper intimacy and spaciousness.
- Form connections with fellow travelers before the main event.
- Enter the eclipse week already grounded and aligned.
- Your initiation begins on the ocean — aboard a private yacht designed for comfort and serenity.


For seven days, we sail through turquoise lagoons and coral reefs, entering the realm of the wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins — radiant beings who carry the frequencies of unity, playfulness, and heart intelligence.

Encounters are spontaneous, intimate, and guided by deep respect. Following the Dolphin Watch Alliance Code of Conduct, we meet the dolphins as equals, never as tourists.

Each day unfolds with flow and grace:

- Morning swims and snorkeling among dolphins and reefs

- Somatic Water Therapy and breath-based practices for nervous system restoration

- Ocean meditations and sound journeys inspired by the Dolphin frequencies

- Optional freediving and scuba-diving guidance for those who wish to explore the depths

- Evenings under the stars, with Blue Lotus elixirs, live music, and soul sharing

This week offers not only awe and adventure but also the activation of the heart — a return to joy, connection, and the remembrance of your natural state.

The Yacht: Our Floating Sanctuary on the Red Sea
Our private 40-meter yacht offers the perfect balance between barefoot freedom and refined comfort. Designed for small, intimate groups, it accommodates just 20 guests in elegantly appointed cabins — each with ensuite bathroom, air-conditioning, and ocean-view tranquility.

Built in 2022 and completely renovated in 2025, this modern vessel combines European craftsmanship with Egyptian soul. Sun-lit decks lined with teak wood invite you to relax between swims, while shaded lounges and a sea-view bar provide the ideal space for connection, sharing, and sunset ceremonies.

The yacht features a spacious dive and swim platform, a salon for gatherings, and an upper sun deck for meditation and stargazing. Every detail — from its oak interiors to its gourmet kitchen — supports a sense of effortless flow, safety, and serenity on the water.

Our dedicated Egyptian crew and international facilitation team ensure the highest standards of care, allowing you to fully surrender into the experience: crystal-clear waters, dolphin encounters, nourishing meals, and the quiet rhythm of the sea.

This is more than a vessel — it’s a floating temple of light guiding us into deeper union with the ocean, the dolphins, and the remembrance of our Atlantean origins.

FAQs — Dolphin Journey
Why do people say swimming with wild dolphins can be life-changing?

Unlike dolphin shows or captive encounters, these dolphins live completely free in the open ocean. When encounters happen, they happen naturally — sometimes the dolphins approach with curiosity, playfulness, or calm presence.

Many participants describe these moments as deeply moving, joyful, and surprisingly peaceful. For some, it becomes the highlight of the entire journey.

How likely is it that we will see dolphins?

The Red Sea is home to several resident populations of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.

While wildlife encounters can never be guaranteed, our experienced crew operates in areas where dolphin sightings are very frequent, and we spend multiple days exploring different lagoons where dolphins are known to rest and socialize.

Are families, teenagers, and children welcome?

For the Dolphin Journey (Red Sea), yes — families with children and teenagers are warmly welcome.

Many families find the week at sea to be a beautiful opportunity for shared presence, ocean connection, and meaningful encounters with wild dolphins in a calm and supportive environment.

To maintain the depth, focus, and group dynamic of the more immersive initiatory experiences, the Somatic Water Therapy Training and Nile Temple Initiations are generally designed for adults and mature participants.

Special family and youth pricing for the Dolphin Journey is available upon request.

Do I need snorkeling or freediving experience?

No experience is required.

Most dolphin encounters happen while relaxed snorkeling at the surface, and many guests join without prior experience.

For those interested in exploring deeper, optional freediving and scuba diving guidance and coaching are available.

Why do we spend seven days on the yacht?

Wild dolphins move freely through the ocean. Spending a full week at sea allows us to:

• move between different lagoons and reefs
• encounter dolphins respectfully without pressure
• experience the rhythm of the ocean.

The journey becomes less about chasing dolphins and more about entering their world with patience and presence.

What makes this dolphin experience different from typical tours?

Most dolphin tours are short excursions focused on quick encounters.

Our journey is different because:

• we live on the water for a full week
• encounters follow the Dolphin Watch Alliance ethical guidelines
• the experience is combined with somatic water practices, meditation, and integration.

This creates a much deeper relationship with the ocean environment.

Our Community — The Call of Remembering
Our community is a constellation of awakening souls — visionaries, healers, guides, and seekers who feel a deep remembrance of Egypt, Atlantis, and the sacred waters of creation.

We welcome people from all walks of life who are drawn by intuition rather than coincidence — those who hear the call of the dolphins, who feel the resonance of ancient Egypt within their hearts, and who know that something inside them is ready to awaken.

Many of our guests are space holders, teachers, and lightworkers — individuals who dedicate their lives to healing, guiding, and uplifting others. They come to receive, to recharge, and to remember. Others arrive simply following a whisper from their soul, discovering along the way that they, too, are part of this great awakening.

Together, we form a global tribe of remembrance — connected by water, guided by spirit, and united in our devotion to embodying the higher frequencies of love, presence, and purpose as humanity enters a new era of consciousness.
