Heimkoma,
our Icelandic word for homecoming
This is what this retreat is all about, coming home to ourselves.
We are women of nature, devoted to the holy spirit and the awakening of humankind.
It is with much joy that we announce our spring equinox retreat together in the majestic national park, Skaftafell in Iceland in late March 2024.
There is nothing quite like Icelandic nature, a strong elemental teacher. We have found solace and connection through her beauty, her force, her purity and healing qualities. Our intention is to create spaces for others to reconnect to that source.
An integrative journey where we dive into the nature of who we are and where we come from.
The spring equinox is one of the natural peaks of the year, a potent time for setting intentions and creating momentum for harmony in our lives. On this day, the 21st of March, the day and night are equally long.
From this point until the autumn equinox in September the day becomes longer then the night in northern hemisphere.
We emerge from the dark winter slumber and start to awaken with the spring spirit. Moved by the renewed feeling of hope and joy!
Time to gather and rejoice!
Play and Pray together
Let us immerse in pure nature and connect in deeper ways
Awaken our spirit by the fire, find flow and ease in the waters, clear our minds with crisp mountain air and ground our being and bodies.
A Nature & Plant Medicine Retreat
In the south east of Iceland lies a magical winter wonderland of Skaftafell. This place is a unique pearl of unimaginable grace and connection. Majestic mountains, ancient glaciers and pristine waterfalls. This breathtaking beauty will by itself fill you up!
Immerse yourself with us in nature for 3 nights and 4 days. We will dive into the depth of our heart and soul and shake of the winter frost.
Through jumping into rivers & waterfalls, daily ceremonies, breath-work & yoga, sound healing in nature, mushroom micro-dosing and daily nature mystery adventures.
THE PILLARS
Cold Therapy
Acvitating the life force energy through alive waters.
In Iceland there is no way to avoid the cold. The cold can be a confronting teacher and awaken fear and contraction within us.
By immersing in cold water we will strengthen our willpower as we breathe through the intensity. The cold teaches us how everything comes and goes, and shows us how we are capable of so much more than we tell ourself.
The cold water is a powerful healer, for the body, emotions and the mind. Through this journey we will learn to PLAY and find JOY with the cold waters.
We will immerse in cold and alive waters daily together.
Plant Medicine
Cacao for the opening of the heart and Psilocybin for the reprogramming of the mind.
Using plant medicine with intention, movement, breath and meditation can help free yourself from limiting patterns, heal deep trauma and open you up to deeper connection with yourself, life and God.
During our days together we will be working with ceremonial grade Cacao and Psilocybin mushrooms in microdose to give us a gentle opening and integrative journey while we explore our inner and outer nature and connection.
Ceremonial grade Cacao is highly nutritious and has many naturally occurring neurotransmitters, such as MAO’s which act like a natural antidepressant, anandamide and phenylethylamine increasing the feeling of love, well being and connection.
Studies have now shown how psilocybin can have a powerful effect on the neuroplasticity of the brain and is therefore a profound tool for transformation and reprogramming our minds.
Our mind and patterns are usually what is holding us back in old ways or in lack based belief systems.
Nature
Immersing in the majestic beauty of Skaftafell. This place is like no other, a kingdom of ancient glaciers, strong mountains, pristine waterfalls and incredible scenery.
In this journey we will get a chance to come into deeper contact with this ancient land and learn more about ourselves through the raw and untouched nature.
We will be sharing tools and exercises to connect within & with nature on a deeper level.
When we remember that we are one with nature and that we play a part of this magnificent organism, we start to respect the power and beauty we hold within.
Breath
Breath is a foundation for life.
Through the breath we can directly access our spirit.
By enhancing & deepening our breath we affect our life force energy and our physical functions, emotional & mental state of being.
Over these days we will practice and use the tools of breathwork to come into deeper connection within, find harmony & alignment with our natural rhythm.
Clearing our mind of the clutter & welcoming in clarity.
Sound
Sound touches us in ways that is beyond the intellectual, it moves us, inspires us, brings us joy and so much more.
Music is an authentic expression of the soul and through sound we can let our deepest most vulnerable parts come forth.
Everything around us has a specific frequency and is vibrating in it’s own way. Through sound we can create a space together of coherence, lightness and healing.
The way we will work with sound during our days together is through opening our voices and using sound to harmonize, creating connection and resonance.
When you have harmonious relationships in the body, the energy flows more smoothly through the whole system.
Nourishment
Over these days you will feel how it is to be immersed and nourished in all ways.
How surroundings, company, breath, nature, food & drinks have an effect on our wellbeing.
We will be nourished with healthy & high vibe food prepared by a special chef over the retreat.
We will honor our body in all ways during these days.
To support all the processes & upgrades you will receive through the journey.

YOUR GUIDES
-
A heartist, a yogini, a plant teacher, a wild child of nature
As a highly sensitive child growing up in a world where I experienced my feelings & depth were unmet, I felt alienated, confused & lost while trying to fit into the acceptable forms of modern society. The intense feeling of being misplaced in this life led me on a healing path early on to reclaim the power of sensitivity & empathy, healing the body through yoga and natural medicines, opening my voice and feeling safe in my authentic expression through the study of nature, yoga, breathwork, energy healing & plant medicine.
Through the years I have traveled the world to study and expand my awareness and knowledge by completing 400 hrs YTT along with various training in yoga, qi gong, sound healing, energy healing, cacao facilitation and breathwork with respected master teachers & healers.
I specialize in assisting and guiding others back home to their heart and activating their life force energy. Living a life in alignment with love through vibrant living, nature & the elements, sound medicine, energy healing, yoga, breathwork and cacao plant medicine.
Teaching yoga and holding healing spaces since 2018. I work one on one with people, offer ceremonies, events, courses and retreats. Sharing the tools, practices & teachings that have radically shifted my life beyond my most beautiful dreams. I hold the intention of more joy, connection, love & freedom for all.
