  • Description

    Description

    We are based in a small town by a fjord in East Iceland — a quiet, spacious place surrounded by ocean, mountains, and northern lights.
    Our home, , welcomes creative people who want to slow down, reconnect with nature, and contribute to a meaningful project.

    The residency is part of — a non-commercial creative project that gathers texts, visuals, and reflections about life, transformation, and simple human truths.

    We invite Workawayers who are passionate about creativity, storytelling, design, or social media — to help us make the project more visible to the world.
    In exchange, you stay in a warm house with wooden floors, ocean views, home-cooked food, and time for your own inspiration.

    It’s not about work — it’s about shared creation, beauty, and the rhythm of real life by the ocean.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Staying at the Residency means becoming part of a slow and meaningful rhythm of life by the ocean.
    You’ll experience Icelandic nature closely — walks along the fjord, evenings by the fire, and the silence of northern nights.

    We often share meals, stories, and creative discussions — about art, transformation, and how people from different cultures see the world.
    You can learn about Icelandic traditions, sustainable living in a remote area, and the philosophy behind our project — about inner growth and authentic creation.

    We also love to learn from others — your language, stories, and perspective are part of what makes this space alive.

  • Help

    Help

    We’re looking for creative and responsible people who can help with promoting and developing the project — a non-commercial artistic initiative about human experience, transformation, and inspiration.

    The kind of help we need can include:
    🔥 creating or editing visual content (photos, short videos, reels)
    🔥 social media support (Instagram, Threads, Telegram)
    🔥 storytelling, copywriting, or translation
    🔥 web or graphic design
    🔥 creative ideas to help the project grow organically

    You’ll have plenty of time for your own work, walks, and reflection.
    We value independence, communication, and warmth — not formal “work hours”.

    In exchange, we offer a cozy private room in a home by the ocean, home-cooked food, and a peaceful rhythm of life surrounded by nature and northern lights.

    Accommodation

    You’ll stay in a warm and quiet house by the fjord in East Iceland.
    The house has three rooms — one with two single (or one double) beds, and one single.
    There is a shared kitchen, living room, and bathroom.

    The interior is simple and cozy — wooden floors, candles, books, and large windows facing the ocean.
    You can cook your own meals or share cooking together — we often enjoy homemade food and tea by the fire.

    The house has fast Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and everything needed for a comfortable stay.
    It’s a clean, peaceful place designed for creativity, writing, and stillness.

    I will provide full three-meals-a-day food, as well as everything needed for a comfortable life here.


    Just a few steps from the house there’s a bench by the water,
    and in the evenings, you can watch the northern lights dancing above the fjord.
