The RETREATNowhere is a luxury retreat for women in search of clarity and a real reset. It’s about thoughtful conversations, solo moments, and the kind of stillness that helps you hear yourself again. No pressure to perform, just beautiful ahh-inspiring surroundings, warm care, and the time to come back to what you actually want.
Choose your own adventureThe best parts of life happen when you're not on a schedule, so we've built in plenty of soul-soothing activities paired with equally beautiful blank space.

Where we’ll goTake a detour with us
Highland Base
In the Heart of Nowhere
Kerlingarfjöll, Iceland
We created the Nowhere Experience because too many women are running on fumes while pretending they’re fine. Work is constant, group chats don’t stop, and even “time off” turns into more planning, more managing, more performing. We wanted to build something rare: a luxurious, held experience where you don’t have to make decisions, take care of anyone, or earn your rest.
Nowhere is a place where you can be surrounded by like-minded women who understand your pace and your pressure, and where awe does what it always does best: it puts everything back into perspective and gives you your body back.

The ultimate space to relax and sleep in
This experience is designed for you to do less on purpose. To wake up without urgency. To eat well without rushing. To move if you want, to stay still if you want, and to be held by good design and thoughtful details – without having to perform your way through it.

A retreat presented by Bloom and Blue Lagoon Iceland
Bloom is a people-first workplace consultancy helping leaders and teams build more inclusive, equitable, and supportive cultures. The spirit of Nowhere reflects how we work every day: slowing down enough to make room for presence, meaning, and growth. This retreat is a natural extension of Bloom’s values — a space to reconnect, recharge, and step into what comes next with intention.

Frequently asked questions-
A wise person on Pinterest once said, “where intention goes, focus flows.” If this is the year you want to invest in yourself, this retreat is a great way to focus your intention. Make the time – we promise you won’t regret it.

We’ll share more details on pricing soon. In the meantime, consider Nowhere is an investment in yourself. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your brain—way cheaper than a full breakdown! This isn't just fancy sheets and cucumber water (though those can definitely help). Nowhere is an investment in showing up as your best self. The deep rest, expert guidance, and actual peace you get there? Your future self—relaxed, recharged, and not rage-scrolling at 2am—will thank you. Worth it.

Some scripts that can help:
To work: "I'm preventing burnout so you don't have to replace me." (They know recruiting is expensive.)
To family: "I'm recharging so I can be more present with you, not just physically here while mentally scrolling through my to-do list."
To yourself: Stop waiting for permission to prioritize your wellbeing. You've probably justified plenty of expenses that matter less than your mental health. This isn't selfish—it's necessary. You can't pour from an empty cup, and right now, you're running on fumes. Prioritize yourself.
Take a deep breath - we’ve made the logistics simple, so you can focus on the deeper questions. From arranged transportation through the Icelandic landscape, to luxurious and cozy accommodations - we’ve got you.
