Iceland Retreat for Creative Career Success
A catalytic Iceland immersion for powerhouse creatives who need strategic elevation

An ignition point for those between what they've been doing and where they're going—
who are ready to claim the next version of their work and life— leaving Iceland with clarity, confidence, and a new trajectory.
But, make it Lord of the Rings meets Luke Skywalker learning The Force set in Iceland (and Steph is your personal elf-like Yoda).
EXPEDITION UNTAMED
September 22-26, 2025
SECLUDED FJORD IN WEST ICELAND | HIDDEN GEMS & HOT SPRINGS

Be Untamed
Iceland is calling.
You know you’ve got big things you’re destined for.
You’re not here because you want to play small.
You’ve been showing up. Doing the work. Wearing probably too many hats.
You’re one Canva template away from rage-quitting everything and becoming a mushroom farmer in Portugal. Like, you’d rather set your laptop on fire. Every day, it’s: post the thing, pitch the client, book the project, reply to the email, run the ship, find new opportunities, make it look effortless, be creative, be consistent, be visible, be strategic—while also trying to make those big dreams you have for yourself, happen.
You’re here because you’re done with half-built dreams and misaligned momentum. You’re here because you’ve built something from scratch—a creative career—and now you’re in that foggy in-between where the next evolution isn’t clear yet.
You need the space, clarity, and ignition to make the right moves for what comes next while sharpening your biggest asset—you.
But the truth is, high-output doesn’t always mean high-impact. You’ve built momentum—but without a clear plan, even your best efforts can scatter.
Expedition Untamed gives you back strategic command. You’ll make decisions faster, set aligned priorities, and recalibrate how your creativity fuels your results.
Expedition Untamed is part retreat, part exploration, part ignition switch.
Expedition Untamed
is like...
We’re based at this big, beautiful, private farmhouse tucked along a black sand fjord in a lesser-traveled area in western Iceland. Yes, the fjord in this photo.
It’s quiet, stunning, remote, luxe but cozy, with mountains and ocean on all sides.
There’s a hot tub out back for end of day soaks, with bubbly, watching the Northern Lights. If you want to really spice things up, take a cold plunge into the fjord.
The expedition days are built for big conversations, deep thinking, and throwing away the mind-trash you don’t want to keep.
You’ll spend three days immersed in hand-picked locations from a local (hi, it’s me) and in the Waypoint Method™: a precision-led process that clears the mental clutter, gets to the root of what’s keeping you stuck, and gives you a crystal-clear plan forward. Real strategy, real insight, real progress.
Why Expedition Untamed works—
This experience is built on five pillars that support deep clarity and real-world momentum:
1- Location: Iceland creates the conditions. It’s raw, vast, honest. This place clears static like nothing else—and shows you what matters.
2- Immersion: When you step out of your day-to-day, patterns crack open. You see things, feel, and think differently.
3- Nourishment: We don’t grind here. We eat well. We slow down. We create space for ideas to take shape.
4- Hot/Cold Exposure: You’ll feel things again. Literally. Whether it’s a fjord plunge or a soak in the steamy waters, your body comes back online—and with it, your clarity.
5- Guided Reflection: This isn’t “figure it out alone.” You’ll be guided through the process and supported via group and 1:1 with Steph.
And the science? Awe resets the nervous system. Nature boosts cognitive clarity. Small group dynamics with other nerdy people where you fit in creates oxytocin.
Real-time strategic 1:1 consulting with me (aka Steph Magic™) creates a path you can follow.
A Catalyst-Level Accelrated Reset
That Gets High-Level Creatives Out of the Fog and Into Focused, Confident Action.
This experience is a proven, accelerated clarity process designed for people who already have the drive—but need precision, perspective, and sharp strategy to channel it.
What you’ll do at Expedition Untamed:
Get you out of your everyday vortex.
→ Out of the inbox, off the apps, away from the pressure. Your brain will start breathing the moment those plane doors open and the crisp air rolls in.We hike. We talk. We soak in geothermal hot springs. We get you moving.
→ Because some answers don’t show up until you’ve stared into the waterfall mist and whispered “I know what the fuck I’m doing” into the wind.You get clarity on what your next level really is.
→ You’ll leave with a grounded, doable plan for what comes next. Clear priorities. Real decisions made. And a list that doesn’t give you hives.You get time and space to think like a creative leader—not a content machine.
→ In areas of Iceland you didn’t even know existed— without crowds.That deep, full-body “oh my god this is what I want, and I’m ready to go after it again” feeling.
→ The kind that sticks and makes all the hustle feel like it’s leading you to those big dreams you see for yourself.
You already know how to execute. You don’t need more inspiration—you need open space, strategic elevation, and a plan that aligns your ambition with real-world action.
Now, imagine doing this while hiking hidden gems and drining bubbly in geothermal hot springs— chef’s kiss.

Your host, location whisperer, & elf-like Yoda guide.
Hey, I’m Steph!
I design immersive strategy experiences that help creatives and visionaries break plateaus—and leave with a direction that gets results.
I’ve been exploring & location scouting in Iceland for 10 years, while being a resident for almost 7 years, and owning a creative buisness for 20 years. I’m an Iceland local who knows the land intimately—and who also knows how to create the kind of experience that actually shifts something in you. You can think of me as the ignition point where a match becomes a flame. (You are the match.)
Pairing my love for Iceland, skills as a 3x Master Certified Coach, and directing immersive experiences— I have designed one-of-a-kind transformational experiences for creatives, visionaries, and business owners for the last 6 years while helping them build badass businesses and crush it in their creative professional careers.
I love creating the exact conditions you need for you to move forward in places that feel like a different world. Clients say I’m like a grounding force and a quiet disruptor. I’ll challenge you when needed. I read between the lines and pull the pieces together you need to hit your next level.
Think of me as your expedition guide with a sharp intuition, sharp insight, and a deep love for moss, black sand, and letting people come back to themselves, without needing to burn it all down.

Come for the adventure,
leave with reclaimed energy, direction, and ROI.
‘‘Not in a woo woo, hope that’ll happen and it will, way. A science-backed, ‘Steph’s brain just gets it’ kind of way.’’
‘‘The entire process is magical.
Flying to Iceland, being in Iceland, driving through Iceland, exploring through Iceland is all incredible on its own.
And then, you add Steph into the mix. All of a sudden you're thinking about yourself in a new way. About the world in a new way, and you realize things about yourself you didn't know.’’
- C.H.
‘‘I just feel completely refreshed.
I feel like the things that I want are not as impossible as I used to think that they were.
I feel like I can just be that person. I thought I had to have permission. And now I know that I don't and I've just noticed a huge difference in myself.
I just feel like it was what I needed exactly when I needed it.”- A.G.
‘‘You helped me to realise that I AM my Power.
Power already exists within me and I am simply remembering and reemerging with my Power.
It was an immediate shift, that I physically felt within my body…
That moment, that shift, will stay with me forever.’’- N.P.
Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
-
High-achieving creatives, business owners, and visionaries who are ready to make a move. You don’t need fixing. You need space, direction, and the right environment to drop back into your own rhythm.
This is not for everyone.
-
Not included is:
Your flights to and from Iceland.
Your transportation while in Iceland.
Your travel expenses while in Iceland.
Your breakfasts and dinners. In the Farmhouse is a full kitchen for you to use.
In my experience hosting these over the years, I’ve tried all kinds of combos of including breakfast, lunch, and dinners and what I’ve found is that most people prefer to be in control of their own breakfast items and times.
And, prefer to be in charge of how they spend their dinner time. Some people want to eat with a few others, some want to eat alone to recharge, and some people want to hang in the hot tub and eat something light before bed.
So, breakfasts & dinners are a choose-your-own-adventure (with my help sourcing grocery stores and nearby restaurants).
-
I’ll personally review your application.
If it’s a match, you’ll get a payment link and onboarding materials. You’ll also book your 1:1 prep session with me. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
If you feel like you need a meeting first, you can schedule it right here.
-
Unlike most retreats or group experiences, this is created by an introvert (me). I’ve set up the experience to accommodate introverts and the need to recharge.
You’ll be fine here. The vibe isn’t “forced bonding.” It’s cozy, calm, and grounded. Plenty of space to connect and retreat. Everyone gets it.
Extroverts are welcome, of course, especially the ones who tend to adopt us introverts.
-
You need to be able to walk a few miles on uneven terrain, but this isn’t a fitness challenge. It’s an experience, not a trek.
-
Absolutely, you can book it right here.
I’ll be on the lookout for it to come in!
-
Due to the nature of this experience, there is a $1500 non-refundable retainer to retain your spot to Expedition Untamed and the 1:1 session pre-expedition.
There is a 14-day cancellation window should you need to cancel, no questions asked. Your balance will be waived.
If you book in after July 20th, 2025 and cancel, your full balance is due unless you find a replacement who is a good fit.
-
It’s a really great time to visit Iceland, which is in part why I chose September to host Expedition Untamed. It’s before the snow, before the cold, and is when the sun has started setting again.
In September you get the best of everything Iceland has to offer—
the Northern Lights come back
the sun is out for a long time during the day
the colors are a mix of summer and Autumn (think greens, reds, oranges, yellows)
the sun is back to being low enough in the sky that rainbows come back, too
and it’s typically light jacket weather so no winter gear needed
-
Most every local under 80 years old speaks English. There are a lot of signs in English and it is not a problem to get around even if Iceland is your first time in a Nordic country.
-
That’s perfectly ok. You will naturally be guided in the direction you need.
That’s why you come. The Waypoint Method is built around uncovering what’s underneath all the noise and overthinking. You don’t need a perfect goal or a clear business plan. You just need to be ready for something to shift—and I’ll help you find what it is and what to do with it once you have it.
-
Firstly, I am sorry to hear you had a shitty experience and wish I could say this wasn’t common. Most of my clients and retreat attendees have also been burned prior to working with me.
This experience is different than anything else you’ve experienced before.
It’s not a retreat where you just sit by a pool and have nothing in return.
This experience follows my tried and true 3-day process to get people unstuck, clear, and moving.
Everything is intentional and is there to get your fire back.
It’s not a structured course, a blueprint, a framework in the conventional sense.
You get to work on what you need to work on instead of trying to make someone else’s blueprint fit.
Plus, I am an Accredited Master Coach (3x), have owned a business for 20 years, and have been helping people like you for the last 6 years so I have the perspective, insight, and skills to actually help you.
-
The group is curated to only 5 spots. The vibe is that everyone is on the same playing field and supportive of one another. We will be doing some introspection, however, most of the dynamic is group conversation.
The Farmhouse is very large so everyone will have their own down time to enjoy as they want, with or without the group.
I try to facilitate an empowering, equal, and personalized group experience.
As an introvert, I know how shitty it is to go to a group experience and feel like I disappeared into the back never to be noticed again. That won’t happen at Expedition Untamed.
-
Iceland IS stunning and I can understand how something this epic can feel intimidating if you don’t know what to expect.
Yes, I help every attendee on some level with their trip experience and planning.
Regular spot holders will have a resource that gives them the A to Z recommendations.
VIP spot holders will have that resource PLUS personalized planning assistance from me to get feedback and adjustments on their plans, specific recommendations for what they want to see/do/eat. You have me 1:1 via email to help you.
Most people feel intimidated by Iceland due to the driving and the language. However, in September you won’t have the difficult driving situations and you will be just fine not knowing Icelandic.
-
I don’t do one-size-fits-all anything. The group is small for a reason. You’ll get the group masterminding plus my eyes and ears. This is strategy, clarity, and support.
If you’ve ever wished you could get someone to just look at what you’re trying to do and help you get clear fast, that’s what this is.
-
Nope! This experience is for any creative professional.
-
Yes, please! I encourage you to bring a camera if you have it. Part of the experience will involve you being creative, so, having a creative tool you love will be great.
We will have plenty of time to stop and have you capture what you’re feeling inspired by.
-
Just as you’re a creative, I am a creative, and my main medium is being a visual storyteller.
The journey you’re about to go on has a clear ‘‘who I was before Iceland’’ and ‘‘who I am after Iceland’’.
You’ll receive the final story in visual formats to use on your personal social channels and website.
