Constructing a New Self Image through Photo Therapy and Adventure in Iceland with Marcela

As soon as you land in Iceland, you'll feel magic in the air. The Land of Fire and Ice has an immediately special air to it, something that can't be described. Green hills that seem to glow with color, ancient glaciers that hold unspoken mysteries, and even volcanoes that rumble and groan with geologic power. This is your home for the next six days as you take a deep dive into both yourself and our beautiful planet, and we couldn't be more excited to have you here!

After landing, we won't waste any time. We'll immediately transfer to the Blue Lagoon to give you a chance to relax and unwind after your travels. A hot spring and spa of epic proportions, the geothermally-powered Blue Lagoon has become a symbol of Iceland's beauty. Enjoy a soak or a spa treatment before we continue onwards to our accommodation in Hveragerði, a quaint countryside town known for geothermal activity, flowers, and quiet vibes. Check in, grab lunch, and head to an open circle where you'll be able to meet your fellow retreat-goers and talk about your intentions and goals for the next few days. We'll cap off this amazing day with dinner before heading to bed.

Good morning! Rise, fuel up with some breakfast, and head to the accommodation's meeting room for a truly special session to begin the day. Marcela will be leading the group through a photography session designed to help you heal and understand yourself using her unique methods. Combining photos with keywords activates both sides of your brain, forming new mental links and helping you abandon old, negative, and useless thought patterns. The workshop will be incredibly therapeutic, and you'll feel heightened levels of clarity and positivity by the time it concludes.

Following this session, it's time for the next adventure: a city tour in Reykjavik! A short transfer will bring us to Iceland's capital city where we'll see all the local highlights. You'll also have some time to grab some local fare for lunch (only try the fermented shark if you're feeling particularly daring, though). After the tour, it's back to the accommodation where you'll have time for private sessions, rest, or exploration.

No trip to Iceland is complete without a tour of the Golden Circle, and that's exactly what we'll be doing today. The Golden Circle is made up of three distinct sightseeing destinations: Gullfoss, a massive and powerful waterfall; Thingvellir, a national park with a rich history; and Geysir, a geothermal area with a geyser that routinely erupts in fantastic fashion. We'll see all three, giving you a chance to explore the awe-inspiring beauty of Iceland and align with Mother Nature. After lunch at Geysir, it's back to the accommodation for a calm evening.

Rise with grace and prepare for another amazing day here in Iceland. We'll be spending the entire day here in the countryside, offering you time to relax and look inward. We'll begin with another photography session led by Marcela before luxurious free time. Go for a walk outside, take a swim in the accommodation's pool, or book another session with Marcela for more personalized assistance on your wellness journey.

For our last full day in Iceland, we have something truly exciting planned: a whale and dolphin watching excursion! A quick transfer will bring us to the ocean where we will board a boat and sail out into open waters to catch glimpses of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. This experience will drive home the transformational power of our planet, and you'll return filled with respect and passion for nature! The rest of the day will be largely unscheduled, allowing you to spend your remaining time however you please.

Our retreat in Iceland reaches its conclusion today. A closing circle will allow us to reflect, speak our gratitude, and say our goodbyes before a transfer to the airport brings the trip to an end. Thanks so much for joining us!
