Women's trip to "Northern Iceland"

During the women's retreat, we will stay at the Helgafell Retreat Center in northern Iceland. It is a peaceful place, deliberately designed for retreat, inner work, and community. Helgafell has a clear, grounding atmosphere. Large windows open up the view to the landscape, and the rooms invite you to arrive, breathe deeply, and become still. Here you can let yourself go, carried by nature, silence, and community.

The accommodation has cozy rooms, communal living areas, and a seminar room that is available to us for rituals, workshops, and group sessions. Yoga mats, pillows, blankets, and sound instruments such as gongs are available on site to support physical and energetic work. A sauna invites you to relax your body and nervous system. This is especially welcome after days spent in nature or intensive inner processes. Bed linen and towels are provided so that you can travel light. We prepare most of our meals together, in a mindful, needs-oriented atmosphere of cooperation. In addition, meals are organized for us on selected evenings, so that phases of being cared for and personal responsibility are naturally combined.

During the women's trip, we mainly cater for ourselves. This allows us to be flexible and mindful of different diets, whether vegetarian, vegan, or other individual needs. This creates a natural, needs-oriented approach to food that adapts to the rhythm of the trip.
Preparing meals together is not an obligation, but rather part of the experience of being together. Each woman contributes in a way that feels right for her. A well-stocked market in Akureyri, near our accommodation, offers a wide range of food and supports conscious choices. At the same time, a gentle arrival and a smooth conclusion are ensured:
On the first evening in Reykjavik, we start with a dinner together at the hotel. (not included in the price) This allows the trip to begin in a relaxed manner and without any organizational effort. On the first evening at the retreat center, we are also treated to culinary delights and can arrive in peace.
The end of the trip is also taken care of for us: on the evening before our return to Reykjavík, we will enjoy another dinner together with the women. Dinner on the last evening in Reykjavik is also not included in the price. This mixture of cared-for moments and shared self-catering, supported by mindfulness and mutual consideration, creates space, relief, and at the same time connection.

This women's trip does not follow a rigid schedule. It is clearly structured yet open enough to allow space for feeling, integration, and the influence of Icelandic nature. Arrival & transition October 4, 2026 Arrival in Reykjavík Dinner together at the hotel (not included in the price)
A gentle introduction to the trip and the shared space. This is where the entire group of women meets for the first time. October 5, 2026 Onward journey in two shared rental cars to Akureyri in the north The journey covers about 400 km and takes about 6–7 hours, including breaks and short stops.
It is part of the journey: time to arrive, to look, to be silent, and to feel the vastness and magic of this island. Arrival at the Helgafell Retreat Center Time to arrive, take a deep breath, and settle into the place, the landscape, and the community. The travel period · October 6–15, 2026 The heart of the journey unfolds during these ten days.
In addition to daily guided sessions on transformation, memory, and integration, plenty of time is deliberately set aside for retreat, silence, and personal experience. You are free to be alone, walk, look, write, rest—and at the same time be supported by the circle of women. Northern Iceland exerts its primal power: vastness, wind, water, earth, and fire accompany the processes in their own unique way.

Day trip · Mývatn volcanic area A special highlight is the day trip to the volcanic area around Lake Mývatn with a visit to the Mývatn Nature Baths. This area shows Iceland in all its elemental power: the lake, black lava formations, bubbling geothermal fields, and volcanic craters.
A day to experience the forces of nature up close and feel their effect on your own body. Depending on time, weather, and group energy, encounters with selected natural sites are possible, including: – Goðafoss, the "divine waterfall" – The Hverir geothermal area with mud pots and fumaroles
– Dimmuborgir, the mysterious lava field of towers, caves, and shapes Encounter with a völva A central element of the trip is an encounter with an Icelandic völva, a Norse seer. In a 2–2.5-hour workshop, she opens a space for perceiving the invisible planes of Iceland.
She respectfully introduces us to the world of invisible beings around Akureyri and reminds us of the deep feminine connection to the element of water. In addition, there will be a spiritual-creative workshop (approx. 3–3.5 hours) entitled "Ask the Water." A space for experience that deepens inner images, insights, and one's own listening.

Farewell & Return October 16, 2026 Return trip to Reykjavík Last evening together at the hotel (dinner not included in the price) Time for integration, exchange, and a dignified conclusion to slowly emerge from this special women's time. October 17, 2026 Departure from Keflavík International Airport

NOT INCLUDED: Each woman is responsible for booking her own flights to and from the destination, which are not included in the price of the trip. This allows each woman to be flexible in choosing her departure airport and flight times. We work with a joint travel agency to provide support. Recommended travel times are already available from the larger departure airports, which take the time frame of the trip into account. We provide this information to registered women in a secure folder for initial orientation. The check-in service on arrival and departure is handled by our contact person at the travel agency. This ensures that the flights are well coordinated and you don't have to worry about formal details.
This guarantees that all women will be in Reykjavík by October 5, 2026, at the latest, and that we can set off together for Helgafell. INCLUDED The transfer on October 4, 2026, from the airport to Reykjavík will be made together with the rental cars and is included in the price. The transfer on October 17, 2026, from Reykjavík back to Keflavík International Airport is also included in the tour price. The rental cars will be available to us throughout the entire trip. This means that the trip begins and ends in a well-organized manner, with no additional planning pressure and in a safe environment.
