This transformative two-part retreat invites you to connect deeply with nature, self, and spirit. The first part brings you face-to-face with wild dolphins aboard a private yacht in the crystalline waters of the Red Sea—an intimate, heart-centered encounter guided by respect and presence. Following that is a sacred pilgrimage along the Nile, exploring Egypt’s most powerful temples while engaging in soulful practices, ceremonies, and gentle integration.

Limited to a small group of kindred spirits, this is a journey of wonder, wisdom, and profound reconnection.

Part One: Sacred Dolphin Journey

August 30th - September 6th, 2025

This journey is a dream come true—one week aboard a private yacht in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, immersed in the beauty of nature and the presence of wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.

These dolphins are known for their open, curious nature, and encounters like this—gentle, spontaneous, and deeply respectful—are rare and unlike anywhere else in the world. We follow the Code of Conduct of the Dolphin Watch Alliance to ensure every interaction is guided by care and integrity.

With only 20 spots available, this is an intimate experience shared with a small group of likeminded souls, sailing through vibrant reefs, floating in turquoise bays, and creating space for deep connection—with nature, with the dolphins, and with yourself.

Program Flow

At the heart of this journey is something beautifully simple: time in the water with wild dolphins.

Each day, we head out to explore the stunning coral reefs of the Red Sea—swimming, snorkeling, and simply being in the presence of dolphins who often approach with curiosity and playfulness. These encounters can be deeply moving, joyful, and expansive.

While the dolphins are the center of our time together, we also have other offerings available—like freediving, water therapy, and space for emotional integration when needed. These tools are there to support, but not to structure the experience.

There’s plenty of time to rest, connect with nature, float, and just be. Evening circles and optional creative practices like journaling or music are offered gently, depending on the flow of the group.

This retreat is for those who feel the call to connect with wildlife in a respectful, heart-centered way—without pressure, without performance, just presence.

Part Two: The Nile Cruise Temple Tour

September 6th - September 12th, 2025

Legends speak of Atlantis as a powerful ancient civilization whose wisdom lives on through the sacred traditions of Egypt. This journey invites you to tune into that timeless energy—walking where pharaohs, priests, and pilgrims once walked, and reconnecting with the deeper layers of your own soul.

We’ll visit some of Egypt’s most iconic and energetically potent sites, including the Great Pyramid, Karnak, Dendera, and Philae. Along the way, we’ll hold gentle ceremonies and meditations, drawing on the ancient Egyptian initiation paths once undertaken only once in a lifetime.

Sailing on a traditional Dahabiya boat, you’ll move slowly and soulfully along the Nile—carried by the river’s wisdom, sharing the journey with a small group of open-hearted travelers. You’ll be invited to connect with the archetypal energies of the temples—Isis, Hathor, Horus, and others—to receive guidance, reflection, and inspiration for your life.

This is a pilgrimage—one that invites presence, reflection, and remembrance.

Program Flow

Our journey begins in Luxor, the heart of ancient Egypt. We visit the Valley of the Kings and the majestic Karnak Temple—a site long regarded as a portal for clarity, truth, and transformation. In the evenings, we return to the stillness of our traditional Dahabiya sailboat, gently integrating the day’s experiences.

From there, we sail to Edfu’s Temple of Horus, a place of inner strength and vision, before continuing to Kom Ombo, the temple of balance and duality. As we drift along the Nile, the rhythm of the river supports us in slowing down, reconnecting, and resting under the stars.

In Aswan, a land of deep ancestral energy, we visit Philae Temple—sacred to Isis, goddess of healing and rebirth—for a special initiation. A quiet felucca ride around Elephantine Island allows for further connection with the river’s wisdom.

The final leg takes us to Cairo, where we stand before the Great Pyramid and Sphinx for a culminating ceremony of insight and remembrance. That evening, we gather for a blue lotus ritual—an ancient symbol of awakening and inner vision.

We close the journey with a celebration on the Nile, carrying the timeless energy of Egypt forward into our lives.

  • Founder, Water Therapist, Yoga and Freediving Instructor

    Fabian grew up in Berlin. He formed an early connection with the sea as he learned to windsurfing from his father in the Baltic Sea when he was a little boy. He worked with technology startups, founded a Pan-African non-profit organization, and consulted the United Nations. In his thirties, he entered a personal crisis resulting in burnout and depression.

    He tried out a variety of different modern and ancient healing methods, which led him to volunteering in dolphin conservation in the Red Sea of Egypt. He began to swim with wild dolphins and became deeply connected to the sea again. His dream is to assist people in exploring their inner worlds by going deep into the sea and having the best time of their lives.

    He spends his free time traveling the world and honing his skills in Somatic Water Therapy, Yoga, and Freediving. He was initiated by the Huni Kuin during a Nixpupima ceremony and was named Bixku.
