UNTAMED GODDESS RETREAT

THE DAUGHTERS OF THE NORTH ARE CALLING YOU HOME

A 4-day Norse Goddess Initiation in the Land of Fire & Ice

with Lea Gudmundsdottir & Sarah Schill

April 16–19, 2026 | Northern Iceland

This is not a retreat.
It is a wild calling. A homecoming. A remembrance.

THE CALL

Book your spot

4 Days and 3 Nights of Archetypal guidance, stepping into your power to lead the way into a new dawn

The Daughters of the North are calling You!

Will you answer?

INVITATION

It is dark.

Still dark, and oh so cold.

The wide sky sprinkled with myriads of stars.

The dragons are vast asleep.
Their sulphur breath warms the ground, melting stones deep down in the Vulcanic soil.
Steaming waters.
Fumes fill the night.

Greenish lights, like ancient whispers.

Do you hear the seabird's song?

A woman walks through the mist.
A whalebone holds her hair.
Her golden necklace shimmers.
To call its name is to awaken hidden forces.
At her side: A glimmering sword.

A falcon's cry.

A black cat, not a sound. Piercing eyes.

The woman has known the darkness.
She walks unafraid.
There is no question in her stride, no doubt in her chest.

She follows the wild Call of the Earth.

She leads with grace, her mind still, her cells vibrating with life.

Behind her, there are others.
Candles in their hands, runes long forgotten on the sleeves of their robe.
Filled with wisdom. Stories. Primordial magic.

They form a circle around the roaring fire.

They know, why they came.

Their encounter was long written in those stars.

A drumbeat.

They lift their gaze and look straight into your heart.

Come, they whisper. Come.

NOT JUST ANOTHER RETREAT, BUT A SOUL WHISPERING!

We invite you into our circle

In four days and three nights, we gather, to connect to the archetypes of the most potent Nordic Goddesses.

To listen to their stories and receive their medicine.

By calling them into our bodies, we will remember a truth our minds have forgotten.

The untamed, unleashed part of you, that stands in the fire of her essence,

willing to look into the mirror and see, why she came here.

She is ready, to finally become the main character of her story.
To awaken what has been long asleep.
To raise her voice and sing her song, more powerful than she could ever have imagined.
To surrender to the mystery and lead the way into a new dawn.

WHAT YOU'LL TRANSFORM

THE JOURNEY: DAILY ARCHETYPAL BREAKDOWN

DAY 1 | FREYJA - The Lover & The Sovereign

THE JOURNEY: DAILY ARCHETYPAL BREAKDOWN

This is an intensive training, not a luxury escape. You will be in deep transformational sessions from morning to evening each day, working with esoteric yoga, tantric practices, embodiment, breathwork, shamanic rituals, mythology, astrology, inner parts exploration and women's circle work.



Iceland mirrors the journey: harsh, dark, raw, and breathtakingly beautiful. The land itself becomes your teacher.

DAY 2 | SKAÐI & ANGURBOÐA - The Unyielding One & The Mother of Monsters

Arrival & Sensual Awakening | Starting at 12:00 noon

Freyja is the Norse goddess of love, beauty, sexuality, and fierce independence. She is a warrior, a witch, and a lover—she belongs to no one and chooses freely. She weeps golden tears for her lost love, yet she never loses herself.


Themes: Feminine flow, sensuality, pleasure, sovereignty, reclaiming desire


DAY 2 | SKAÐI & ANGURBOÐA - The Unyielding One & The Mother of Monsters

Boundaries, Rage, & Sister Wound Healing

Skaði is the goddess of winter, the hunt, and relentless determination. She thrives on challenge and never backs down.

Angurboða is the giantess and powerful witch who birthed the "monsters" of Norse mythology—the wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jörmungandr, and Hel, queen of the underworld. She represents the fierce, untamed creative force that births what the world fears.


Themes: Warrioress energy, boundaries, rage as medicine, sister wound healing, embracing your "monstrous" creative power, what you're willing to fight for

DAY 3 | HEL & EIR - The Underworld & The Healer

DAY 3 | HEL & EIR - The Underworld & The Healer

Shadow Work, Witch Wound, & Medicine

Hel is the queen of the underworld, daughter of Angurboða. She is half radiant light and half decay—a living embodiment of duality, death, and rebirth. She rules the realm of the dead with dignity and power.

Eir is the goddess of healing, mercy, and shamanic medicine. She is a Valkyrie who revives fallen warriors and brings life where there was death. Everything blossoms in her presence.


Themes: Shadow work, underworld descent, witch wound healing, reclaiming your "dark" parts, medicine and regeneration

DAY 4 | FRIGG - The Queen & Wise Woman

DAY 2 | SKAÐI & ANGURBOÐA - The Unyielding One & The Mother of Monsters

Feminine Leadership & Claiming Your Queendom | Ending at 15:00

Frigg is the Queen of the gods, wife of Odin, and goddess of wisdom, foresight, love, and family. She sees through time and holds the threads of fate. She is the embodiment of sovereign feminine leadership—powerful, wise, nurturing, and unshakable.





Themes: Queenly leadership, integration of all archetypes, claiming your power, stepping into your role as leader

We will keep an open dialog after the retreat holding the sisterhood alive.  In addition to that you can always book sessions with one of us for further support. We are all about aftercare!
