A Warm Welcome to Helgafell

We are Harpa and Jean-Marc, and it is our pleasure to welcome you to Helgafell. Since 2014, we have lovingly developed this retreat center as a haven for stillness, rest, and healing.

Our paths first crossed in Iceland 16 years ago, and since then, we've specialized in hosting travellers in Iceland with a focus on slow, ecologically mindful travel through our company, Alkemia.

With backgrounds in yoga, qigong, and massage, we offer our services here at Helgafell and warmly welcome groups accompanied by teachers. We are open to any practice that fosters kindness, presence, and an openness to understanding our human experience.

Connection with nature, both within and around us, is at the heart of what we do. We strive to create a space that fosters exchange, inspiration, and deeper connection in our lives.
