Hiking, Hygge and Magic
Step into a world where towering fjords meet cozy fireside evenings. Join us on a adventure filled hiking and hygge retreat for women in the heart of Norway’s breathtaking Lofoten Islands. Based near the picturesque village of Reine, this retreat is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and find magic in both nature and sisterhood.
By day, we’ll hike and adventure through dramatic mountain trails and panoramic sea views. By night, we’ll embrace the Nordic art of hygge, sharing nourishing meals, journaling, sauna, and warming our souls by candlelight in our cozy space.
Whether you crave adventure, stillness, or connection, this experience blends all three in one of the world’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. Come home to yourself in the wild beauty of Norway, with women who get it, and a journey you’ll never forget.
Who It’s For
You crave adventure but also love to cozy up by a fire and connect deeply with other women. You’re someone who wants to slow down and savour the place they are in.
THIS RETREAT INCLUDES:
2 hikes: one easy to a beach after a ferry ride, and one harder, up 2000 sherpa laid steps.
An afternoon of guided sea kayaking through the fjords
A sightseeing road trip stopping at several beautiful locations to explore
And don’t forget about the sauna’s!
“Take the trip. You won't regret it. Sometimes we put off things for whatever reason, but find the time to take the trip you have been dreaming about. You will thank yourself.”

“I arrived at this retreat knowing no one and instantly felt like I'd known every woman there forever. That's the beauty in gatherings like this. I was a bit nervous how my body would respond to the long travel days, the hiking, the sleeping arrangements, etc. but was pleasantly surprised at how well I did. I left feeling so full - grateful for new friends that I was able to share such an amazing experience with, grateful for the beauty I was able to witness and document, and grateful for the deep chats, the hugs, the tears, the understanding, and all the laughter”

Meet Your Hosts
Hannah Fitch Bernard
Hannah has a passion for creating inclusive, supportive spaces for women to gather, exhale and laugh! With her intentional intuition, she makes and sees connections all around her - everywhere! constantly! (can’t seem to shut it off ;)
Hannah lives for sharing experiences with others, learning their unique life stories, laughing until it hurts, wandering down alleyways, popping champagne on boats, and doing it all again the next day.
When she is not exploring, you can find her with a cup of coffee in hand, three cats on her lap - three kids and a husband running around her - discussing the next steps for strategically dismantling the patriarchy, while simultaneously planning her (and your) next travel adventure.
In her next life she plans to be a recurring cast member of Saturday Night Live so she can make even more people laugh.
Deedee Morris
Light chaser, deep thinker, fast reader, barefoot gardener, mama to twin girls. Deedee is an awe-inspiring photographer whose work is not only beautifully raw, but is also incredibly honest. She dives in deep with her subjects, getting to know them on a personal and spiritual level, and is then able to capture a single moment that portrays their vulnerable individuality in stunning ways.
Her work celebrates family, motherhood, self-understanding, and love of the natural world, all of which are outward expressions of her own values and ambitions.
Deedee’s pursuit of authenticity is a rare and powerful experience.
FAQs
How do we get to Reine?
The travel is part of the adventure!
You will need to catch a flight or train from Oslo to Bodø and from the airport or train station take a taxi to the ferry terminal. The ferry terminal is located right next to the train station so you can walk from the train station if you choose that mode of transportation to Bodø. We will go over all of this and help with everything in our WhatsApp group.
Where will be staying on Lofoten?
We will be staying Reine, a gorgeous little fishing village in this Villa.
I have dietary restrictions, will that be taken into consideration?
We do our very best to take into consideration everyone’s restrictions, allergies and preferences when it comes to diet. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet all of your needs. We would love to have a conversation with you about it.
What do you mean by incidentals?
Anything from a coffee while wandering about, to tampons, or an unscheduled sauna time, to meals at the airport.
What level of fitness is required for this trip?
Everything on this trip is optional, however, if you want to do the hikes, you do need to be exercising regularly. One of this hikes is a very steep incline. It’s only an hour but the incline is steep. The other hike is also short and classified as easy, but you need to be able to walk easily on uneven ground. The sea kayaking is 3-4 hours and you need to be able to keep up with the group. You don’t need to be a gym rat, but you do need to be moderately physically fit.
"I was so grateful to be part of group where activities were planned for me. As the planner in my household, that alone was such a gift. It allowed me to truly experience the culture and the land without the stress of having to figure out what to do next in a country foreign to me. Activities were thoughtfully planned out, the villas were gorgeous, the food was grand, and the area was beautiful. I would definitely invest in another retreat with Heartventures which, by the way, is a perfect name for this experience.”
