Solar Eclipse Retreats
The rarest reset there is.
For a few minutes, day turns to night — the air cools, the birds fall silent, and the sun becomes a ring of fire. Join a 5-day, 4-night program to experience the intensity of that moment together.
Why under an eclipse
The sun disappearing stops everyone cold.
From a dragon eating the sun in ancient China to an omen of the gods elsewhere, a total eclipse has always stopped people mid-step. The mythology has faded, but the experience hasn't.
A rare, collective reset — paired with yoga, meant to settle rather than challenge. On 2 August 2027, totality runs over six minutes, among the longest this century. We will be there, for five days in the path of totality. Be there too.
The 2027 vote
Four places on the path. Help us choose.
On 2 August 2027 the moon's shadow crosses southern Spain, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt. Check the map for the path of totality. Each offers a distinctly different experience of the same eclipse. Which one is your favourite? The vote is open: see the four, read the honest trade-offs, and tell us where you'd want to reset.
Build it with us
We've got the date and the region. Let's shape the rest together.
The eclipse determines the date and the path: 2 August 2027, in North Africa or southern Spain. The rest of the program we want to design with you.
Gentle, restorative practice or something more demanding? Sound healing in, or left out? Breathwork, cold-water, long unhurried afternoons to yourself? Tell us what you're drawn to, and we'll build the programme around it.
Who this is for
If you can't switch off the achiever, this is the reset.
Are you looking to get off the beaten track, but in reasonable comfort? Want to do something more meaningful than sightseeing? Do you feel that a total solar eclipse is a rare event — and want to make sure you're in the right place for one with the right people?
This is five days designed to help you actually arrive somewhere, rather than scroll through it. All-inclusive. The longest eclipse of the century.
Looking for something a bit earlier?
The 2026 summer solstice in Australia — the longest day of the year — falls on Tuesday, 22 December 2026, at exactly 7:50 am AEDT, marking the moment the Southern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun. Join us in Victoria for 108 sun salutations to greet the new season, or just enjoy the rest of the three slow days of yoga practice, good food and nice people.

The story, as it happens.
The scouting trips, the learnings, the teachers, and the trade-offs, we're sharing as it all takes shape in real time. A serialised pre-production story that ends with "and now you can finally come."
Why Solipse is starting with a vote, not a fixed destination
Some retreat brands begin with a finished itinerary. Dates, villas, teachers, transfers, the full promise.
Victoria as a Solipse gathering place: summer light, coast and reset
Victoria is not the most exotic place Solipse could begin. That is part of its strength.
