About this experience

A life-changing experience that will connect you to nature and Mother Earth.
Self-discovery is the foundation of our retreats. We provide experiences for the mind, body & soul by holding space for guests to reconnect to nature, to themselves and to others in the Icelandic wilderness. Whether seeking a simple moment to breathe, to heal physically or emotionally, or a longing for a renewed sense of purpose in life; our retreats offer a “choose your own adventure” that nourishes every soul with the perfect medicine.

Your stay is all about becoming still and getting back to yourself. Shortly after your arrival, we’ll set the intention for your stay in a ‘Connecting to the Land’ session with Mirjam. In this session, we focus on how to spend your time here in the best way possible. How to get the most out of your stay. Sending you off vibrating high.

Then you’ll be ready to spend as much time as you like in solitude in our quiet and energizing surroundings. If you’re looking for a positive change in your life, and don’t really know the direction you may want to go, let this retreat be a compass to connect you with your true self to uncover your potential that you may not know existed. Raise your frequency.

We’ll provide you with a journal so you can record everything you’re experiencing, feeling, insights and whatever else is bubbling up… if you so wish. There’s no pressure here. Absolutely none.

In fact, while you enjoy time down by the river, on the beach or on the hillside, just being, doing Ab-So-Lu-Te-Ly nothing, enjoying solitude and silence, you can completely unwind.

And if the mood takes you, you can book one of our tours and we’ll happily take you out onto the peninsula, past Misty Mountain, to the bird cliffs of Skoruvík, the ghost town of Skálar and maybe even all the way to “the-end-of-the-world” the lighthouse at Fontur.

Towards the end of your stay, we reflect on your experience in a ‘Grounding it in’ session with Mirjam. This will help the transition travelling back home and incorporate new tools and the intentions set on retreat into your everyday life.

You will go home feeling more invigorated, happier, and with a new and different sense of motivation.

All meals are included (breakfast, lunch package, dinner with dessert). Delicious products, farm to table; quality meat and egg from the farm, trout from the lagoon, rhubarb, vegetables and spices from the garden.

Please contact us for a longer or shorter retreat option.
