Solar Eclipse Retreat in Spain

Join the Alaya Retreat Centre, nestled in the heart of Spain’s Penedès wine country near Barcelona, for a rare six-day journey of transformation from August 9 to 14, 2026. This retreat is meticulously designed around a near-total solar eclipse at sunset—a powerful, once-in-a-century celestial window that invites you to reset your life with deep intention. It is an invitation to step into your next chapter clearly and consciously, supported by the tranquil beauty of the vineyards. This is more than a retreat; it is a turning point where the quiet presence of horses and the darkened sun support you in anchoring your intentions with authenticity. It is a unique time to move beyond healing and into the power of choice, departing with a renewed sense of purpose as you learn to live the path you have chosen.

Retreat Highlights

  • Experience the profound "Mirror of Presence" horse sessions to reveal what is ready to be seen within through the horses' intuitive presence
  • Witness the sky transform during a signature sunset eclipse ceremony held directly in the vineyards alongside the herd
  • Integrate your insights through daily yoga practices (Vinyasa, Yin, and Nidra), guided journaling, and energy activation fire circles
  • Define your future through vision writing and future-self embodiment workshops aimed at identifying the life you now choose
  • 1 individual healing session with Ellen and the horses
  • Welcome glass of cava (Spanish Champagne from grapes from the vineyards)
  • Daily brunch, dinner, and light snack in the afternoon
  • 5 nights accommodation

The beautiful ‘masia’ (wine farm) consists of three private villas, one large villa, and the 120-square-meter yoga shala. The beautiful 4×12 square-meter swimming pool is located at the far end of the garden between the fruit and palm trees. There is a wellness center with a Jacuzzi and a sauna near the swimming pool area as well. It is an inspiring, idyllic, and peaceful place that can accommodate yoga retreats, meditation groups, and workshops of all kinds.

Programm

​Through yoga, meditation, and guided reflection, you’ll create space to reconnect, realign, and move forward with purpose. The horses are an integral part of this journey, offering a grounded and intuitive presence that helps you connect more deeply within. In their quiet way, they will reveal what is ready to be seen, supporting you in anchoring your intentions with clarity and authenticity.​

And as the eclipse unfolds, you will be guided through a special sunset ritual in nature, an unforgettable, shared experience designed to mark this moment in a meaningful and lasting way.

This is not just a retreat. It is a rare event, a powerful reset, and an experience you will carry with you long after the light returns.

Late afternoon

  • Rest / silence

Evening Eclipse Ceremony (Signature Experience)

  • Timing (Barcelona / Penedès)
  • Eclipse begins around 19:32
  • Maximum (deepest moment) around 20:28
  • Ends around 21:10

Phase 1 – Entering the Vineyards (19:00)

  • A light dinner in silence
  • You walk slowly into the vineyards. The horses are already there. Calm. Present. Unaware of your story.

Phase 2 – The Light Changes

  • As the Solar Eclipse begins: Breath awareness. Grounding into the body. Final journaling (your one sentence). The world begins to dim. Not suddenly, but undeniably.

Phase 3 – The Ritual with Horses

  • During the eclipse, you’ll join a guided ritual with the horses in the vineyards, grounding your intentions in a moment of stillness. Supported by their calm presence, you’ll release the past and step into your next chapter with clarity.

Phase 4 – Totality (around 20:28)

  • No guidance. No voice. Only the darkened sky, the presence of the horses, your own knowing, a moment outside of time.

Phase 5 – Return of Light

  • As light slowly returns: A simple commitment: I will walk this. No explanation. No discussion. Just choice.

Day 5 – Thursday, August 13

  • Embodiment – Living the Choice
  • Grounded morning yoga
  • Yoga Nidra (integration)
  • Closing circle
  • Now the question becomes: Can you live what you chose?

Day 6 – Friday, August 14

  • Departure – The Beginning
  • Final gentle yoga
  • Brunch
  • Departures
  • Not an ending. A beginning.

Closing Note

There are moments in life that do not ask you to heal. They ask you to decide. ​And, under a darkened sun, in the quiet presence of the horses, you remember: The path is not something you find. It is something you choose.
