Get matched →BONFIRE Retreats are immersive experiences designed to share deep connection to specific territories. The 2026 Winter Edition takes place in Iceland's southern landscape during November, offering a slow and generous way of relating to both human and more-than-human environments. This 10-day retreat is limited to 7 participants.
Private rooms at Héraðsskólinn with communal bathrooms aligned with the building's historic layout. Additional apartment within the main building offers quiet spaces for rest and informal gatherings. All rooms feature lake or mountain views. The village of Laugarvatn has long been a creative refuge for writers, musicians, and visual artists.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Interdisciplinary practitioners from around the globe: visual arts, sound, performance, writing, filmmaking, spatial thinking, culinary practices, and other forms of creation and research.
Creative prompts, collective conversations, and one-to-one mentoring sessions throughout. Your voice will be featured on BONFIRE's digital platforms, including website and social media. The retreat is focused on experience and inspiration rather than creation; common spaces and library are available for reflection, reading, writing, or computer work.
