Join Stephanie on an adventure to a magical and remote land on the Troll Peninsula in Northern Iceland!  Explore the practice of Yoga, meditation, sound, journaling, nourishment, self care, hot springs, soak and sauna, northern lights, ritual and connection.  Included in your stay, is our very own spa house to enjoy whenever we please, with a hot tub, giant sauna, and cold plunge.  We will also be heading out together to Myvatn Nature Baths, which is Northern Icelands "blue lagoon."  

This retreat is FOR you, if you're excited to explore Iceland, while also staying in a remote place, with ample time to ground into nature and yourself, with lots of moments of quiet and also opportunities to connect with other beautiful people.  The average temperature for Iceland in September is around 50°F, which is perfect for hiking and exploring, while also enjoying nourishing foods, hot springs, and soak and sauna.  September is also a peak time for Northern Lights!  There will usually be a more active yoga practice in the morning, and a more slow and restorative practice in the evening.  There will be opportunities to go on excursions, or you can stay most of your time on site, enjoying the land, waterfalls and slowing way down.

This retreat is NOT for you, if you want a jam packed schedule. (We will have plenty of open space for rest)  It is NOT for you, if you want a super easy and frequent way into town, or want more of a city experience. (We will be in a special, remote place in nature)  It is also NOT for you, if you're craving warm and tropical retreat vibes! (This is more fall, cozy, magical nature vibes!) :)

A note from Stephanie:

Iceland and this lovely spot is so special to me, and I am so excited to share it with you!  The Lodge is an ancient sheep farm that's been continually inhabited from the time of the settlement of the Vikings in Iceland in circa 850AD. It has been in the same family for centuries and is family operated. This will be a peak time for Northern Lights, so get ready to experience some magic while we are there!  Also, Júlí (our amazing chef, and one of Iceland's best) is such a joy and will give us the culinary experience of a lifetime, along with his wife's incredible desserts.  It's such a privilege to be able to be nourished by them while we are there.  I'm also looking to connect to the community more this time around, and am on the search for a local Icelandic story teller to share some beauty and tradition with us! :)

*You need a valid Passport (that does not expire within 6 months) to enter Iceland.

*Travel Insurance is highly recommended to keep yourself safe and covered. 

*A suggested packing list and sample schedule will be sent out closer to our trip.

*This is an active retreat, and the terrain in Iceland is often wet, and rocky.  Must be ok with some wetness, and wind...but so much beauty!!

*Depending on flight schedules, guests might want to fly into Reykjavik to stay for a night, before taking the local flight to Akureyri, and possibly on the way home too.  There are many options though, if you want to rent a car and explore before or after as well!  

*Depending on the state of Covid at the time of retreat, a self test may be required before we gather together, to make sure we're all healthy! 

*Iceland is so beautiful and safe and lovely, and I hope you can join in the adventure. :)
