Warrior Goddess entered our retreat embodying strength, creativity, and sacred fire.
Through her openness, she unveiled the depths within her soul, inviting us to witness.

To see her fully in her true nature through rituals, ceremonies, and as she moved and posed within the embrace of nature, was profoundly powerful. She carried both fierce presence and deep authenticity, leaving a lasting impression on us all.

It was a true honor to get to know her and to share this sacred space with her in our Sisterhood.

A gentle invitation for 2027 🤍

Our waitlist is now open for:�Sisters of the Solstice in Iceland ☀️�Samhain Sisterhood in Ireland🔥

This is a space where we can step into ritual and into ourselves by awakening our wild women.

We gather in circle, we connect, we create.�
At the center are our sacred empowerment photoshoots — solo and in sisterhood — held in nature where we connect to our primal beings.

Because the groups are small, the waitlist is where we invite from first.

If you feel called to join us, add your name to be one of the first to apply.

🌱 EARTH MOTHER 🌏

Witnessing Guðrún in this space was deeply moving for us.

There was a clear sense of her claiming herself and embracing her power not only as a mother, but as a woman in her own right.

Her presence and expression carried a special kind of fearlessness - it honestly brought tears to our eyes!

When she let out her primal scream and activated her voice, we all fell silent in reverence.

Unapologetic in her sensuality and grounded in herself, she held something truly powerful throughout her session and entered such a beautiful flow state while connecting to the nature and posing for & .endresen

As facilitators, we feel honored to hold space and witness moments like these. This is why we do this work — creating space for women to be seen, expressed, and connected through empowerment photoshoots in nature. 🤍

Important update from the sisters at Völur Retreat 💛

We are taking a break this year from facilitating multi-day retreats but we hope to continue our women’s circles and host pop-up events in Iceland.

We appreciate all of the love and support and we hope to see you in 2027 for our powerful Sisters of the Solstice III Retreat in North Iceland.

The spring equinox is the point where light and dark hold equal space. The earth beneath your feet is waking, and with it, our own rhythms start to move again.

Just before it, a new moon in Pisces marked the beginning of a new lunar cycle, a time of letting go, intention-setting, and inner rebalancing.

Remember! Not all beginnings are loud.
Some arrive softly, like first light ✨

Now we’re in the waxing crescent phase, a time of gentle growth. The sun calls us outward, the moon calls us inward. Solar energy wakes the body, lunar energy awakens the inner landscape, and both are inviting us to begin again.

You might:
• Clear a little space in your home
• Write down beginnings and endings
• Make a small offering to the earth — water, herbs, song

Small. Simple. Meaningful. Let the season lead you rather than forcing anything.

Return to the body.
Return to the earth.
Return to yourself. 🌿🌒

carries both deep kindness and a fierce, untamed spirit. Her presence warms everyone around her, yet there is a wild magic within her that refuses to be dimmed.

Watching her step fully into her power and claim her wildness has been such an honour.
During her empowerment shoot, she let her feral spirit come out to play: radiant, free, and completely herself.

We’re so grateful to have her in our circle and endlessly proud of her creative journey.

We love you so much ❤️‍🔥🌙

With heavy hearts, we’re sharing that our Summer Solstice Retreat will not be taking place this year due to unforeseen circumstances.

This gathering means so much to us — the connection, the rituals, the magic we co-create in community. While this wasn’t the path we envisioned, we trust that what is unfolding is aligned with a greater timing.

As we move through the powerful Full Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo, we are reminded that eclipses are portals of release, recalibration, and redirection. Virgo’s energy invites us to refine, to clear what no longer serves, and to honor the details that support long-term growth. Sometimes that means tending to what’s behind the scenes. Sometimes it means choosing pause over push.

Eclipses don’t take,
they realign.

We will be using this sacred pause to intentionally plan our 2027 Retreats, gathering again over the Solstice and Samhain with even deeper intention and devotion.

If you feel called to join us when the time is right, we invite you to add your name to our waitlist. Those on the list will be the first to receive personal invitations and early details as soon as they are ready to be shared.

Thank you for your understanding, your continued support, and your trust in this journey.

This is not an ending — it’s an integration. 🌕✨

More soon. With love.

The new moon today marks the Lunar New Year under Aquarius — a moment for courage, independence, and forward motion. We are entering the year of the fire horse and a new cycle has begun.

The Horse symbolizes independence, vitality, and forward movement. It’s associated with action, confidence, and a refusal to stay confined.
Fire amplifies that. It brings intensity, visibility, courage, and transformation.
Together, the Fire Horse represents bold momentum, the kind that comes from deep self-trust rather than impulse.

Step into your power. Trust your instincts. Move boldly.

Join us at Sisters of the Solstice 2026 to embody, rewild, and rise together. 🌑🔥

One of the most meaningful rituals at our retreats is the act of being witnessed.

This sacred ritual is a guided experience of embodiment and radical self-acceptance, where women reclaim their bodies and gently return to their natural, wild selves. 
Witnessed. Held. Captured as art.
Not a photoshoot but a rewilding 🐺

Witnessing Suzanne was a reminder of what this ritual is really about. She met herself with openness and trust, allowing herself to be seen without performance or armour.

We are deeply grateful for the trust she placed in us, and for the sisterhood she offered so generously ❤️

Takk systir!
