Egypt Edition


  • Sataya Reef Marsa Alam, Red Sea Egypt (map)

A Women’s Empowerment + Ocean Retreat

Designed for women craving simplicity, the sea, and a place to reconnect.

Join The Unfolding: Egypt Edition—a women’s empowerment retreat set in the magical Sataya Reef, one of the most unique dolphin habitats in the world. This is more than just a trip; it’s a week to step fully off-grid and reconnect with yourself.

Each day begins with gentle pranayama breathing practices to center your mind and regulate your breath for the day ahead, or with a little morning movement with yoga on deck. In between, you’ll swim alongside pods of wild dolphins, explore vibrant coral gardens, opportunites to grow in workshops, and spend unhurried days immersed in turquoise waters.

We’ll anchor in Sataya’s sheltered lagoon all week, giving you calm seas, crystal clarity, and the chance to truly settle in. Meals are freshly prepared on board, and days flow between snorkeling, movement, rest, and community connection.

Our week together begins with a welcome circle to set intentions and close the week with a bonfire on the beach, honoring the ways we’ve unfolded, released, and grown.

This isn’t just a trip—it’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and remember yourself, surrounded by the sea and the safety of sisterhood.
