— THE HIGHLAND ADVENTURE —
15. - 19. July 2024
ReWild your heart in the Icelandic highlands
ABOUT THIS TRIP
Join us for an epic hiking adventure in the peak of the Icelandic summer in the highlands of Iceland from the 15th - the 19th of July 2025.
This journey is for the adventurous hearts who love to explore nature and the sacred. Let us guide you as we explore Iceland’s raw and pristine nature and open up to our own wild and pristine nature within. This is an opportunity to connect deeper, supported by an openhearted community and with nature as our teacher, mirror and guide.
These days we weave together hiking adventures, slowing down, sacred connection and play. Full day hikes to stunning landscapes and waterfalls where we take our time and detox from all electronics and media and prioritize peace and play.
REWILDING THE HEART
Everyday we come together and share a sacred connection and communion with nature. We deepen our inner listening through daily cacao ceremonies, stillness and sharing circles. As well as we have more fun through games, storytelling, music and play.
We will be based in mountain huts in Rjúpnavellir and Landmannahellir. From these locations here we will journey to stunning locations for daily hikes and adventure.
THE FOUNDATIONS
NATURE
HIKES IN BREATHTAKING LANDSCAPES
Day hikes to extraordinary places such as Háifoss, Gjáin, Rauðifoss, Rauðauga and Landmannalaugar.
Entering new worlds and dimensions as we take our time to just be and take in the stunning mountains, waterfalls, valleys and hidden places.
BATHE IN WILD WATERS
In Iceland we are blessed with clean pristine waters everywhere. We will have many opportunities to immerse ourselves in every kind of form of water. Rewilding with the cold waters as well as melting into the natural hot springs.
Icelandic nature is a great facilitator for change and expansion. Its strong elements can move you in ways unimaginable.
THE SACRED
CEREMONIES IN NATURE
Working with the land and sacred plants to deepen our listening and connection. We will have daily cacao ceremonies to open the heart and enhance our senses and connection.
CEREMONIAL GRADE CACAO
Ceremonial Grade Cacao is a gentle yet powerful plant teacher here to open our heart. This plant assists us to let down our guard, to free our mind and feel the true power of being open and connected to the web of life. Everyday we will sit in a circle and share cacao.
PICKING WILD HERBS
Get to know the wild plants around. We will work with our wild herbs adding them into our food and drinks. Expanding our connection to the natural world and all she provides.
STILLNESS
MORNING MEDITATIONS AND MOVEMENT
We will start our days with guided meditations and movement to embrace the day ahead.
SPACIOUS SILENCE
Icelandic nature has a special silence and vastness that can reach deep into our being. We will have multiple hikes to be immersed in silence and allow nature to cleanse, recharge and inspire us in every way
DIGITAL DETOX
We will be accompanied by a professional photographer to capture the journey so you can completely immerse yourself in the now. You will be invited to turn off your phone for the duration of the weekend.
PLAY
INNER CHILD HOMECOMING
We believe a big part of rewilding and coming back home our heart is through becoming a safe space for our inner child to be heard, seen and felt. We will let our inner child out through improv games, music, storytelling and playful exploration in nature.
This journey will be a space for you to authentically express yourself through play, curiosity and wonder.
