Create space for what matters most.
You’ve spent years building, achieving, and in motion. Maybe you’ve arrived somewhere you worked hard to reach. Maybe you’re wondering why you don’t feel further along.
Intentional time away creates room to reflect on what matters now—your well-being, your relationships, your purpose, and how you want to spend your time and energy.
Time away can offer new perspective, make room for creativity, and create an opportunity to recalibrate how you live, work, and lead.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
Time away creates much-needed distance from the routines and responsibilities that normally shape your days.
Not because you need to escape your life, but because sometimes you need enough room to see it differently.
You don’t need to know exactly what you want your time away to become before you create it. Thoughtful planning can prepare you for the practical realities while leaving room for the experience to unfold.
Meet The Sabbatical Planning Pathway
A self-guided course for planning intentional time away on your own terms.
The Pathway brings personal reflection together with the practical preparation that makes a sabbatical possible. You’ll consider where you are now, what matters most, and the practical realities of stepping away—from finances and timing to boundaries, solo travel, reentry planning, and your eventual return.
There’s no destination to follow or outcome you’re expected to reach.

Make your sabbatical your own.
A career sabbatical could mean months of solo travel. Or it could mean staying closer to home. You might focus on your wellbeing, spend more time with people you love, explore a creative idea, reconnect with a sense of purpose—or simply give yourself time to let your mind wander.
There is no prescribed itinerary here.
Solaris helps you plan the space. What you do with it is yours.
Solaris. (Latin origin) — of the sun; a source of warmth, light, and energy.
Solaris began with founder Vetra Davis’s own experience of turning a layoff into a sabbatical after a lifetime shaped by work—including more than a decade in Big Tech.
What began as time away she hadn’t planned eventually raised a bigger question:
How do you prepare thoughtfully for time away without turning it into yet another thing to check off the to-do list?
Solaris was created to help others answer that question in their own way.
