Iceland · 5 days
The retreat starts at the studio in Reykjavik, where the group meets before travelling together to the centre near Hella. Exact timing depends on which retreat you book. From there the schedule runs full days with Andri, mixing indoor and outdoor sessions.
Breathwork covers the Wim Hof Method plus Oxygen Advantage and other techniques, with the science explained alongside the practice. Cold exposure is taught the same way — the Wim Hof Method and Andri's own techniques — and the page lists what people use it for: endurance, general health, chronic pain, stress relief, mental peace and weight loss. Sauna sessions follow the Thermalist method, the Nordic tradition backed by research on long-term health. Movement sessions vary depending on what the cold work needs that day.
What makes this different from a general wellness week is the setting and the group size. The centre sits close to the Hekla volcano, with nature all around and plenty of spots nearby for the outdoor activities. With a maximum of 12 people, Andri can adjust the teaching to whoever is in the room. Guests describe him as calm and confidence-inducing during the hardest parts — one wrote that he always made the group feel in control through the toughest experiences.
Andri's own framing is that the retreat is about discovering you have the power to be OK no matter what. Practically, that means power-of-the-mind challenges, learning to release tension and stress, building resilience, and a lot of time outside. The page also mentions men-only retreats with new dates to come, and private retreats available on request.
The food is a real part of it. All meals are cooked at the location by the private chef and nutritionist, and guests single out the food in their reviews. Rooms are private, each with its own bathroom, and the property is described as comfortable and away from crowds.
