Facilitated by Linda Fennell and Tamara Gatchell with Native Icelandic Guide Laufey Ása Bjarnadóttir
Imagine you, clear on your dreams, feeling empowered and proud of yourself (and maybe a little scared, too) as you take inspired action toward what you’re most yearning for. That thing or things that delight you the most. Like Walter, in the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”—a man who went from housing wild dreams and adventures in the cramped apartment of his head to actually living them out in a brilliant and satisfying real-world adventure. He bloomed and expanded before our happy eyes.
Just like you can.
Inspiring the world as you go.
How could you not?
We believe that saying yes to your dreams, yes to adventure, and yes to self-discovery makes life richer and more joyful …
We believe when you follow what delights your soul and live in ways that are in accord with your true nature the whole world expands, and that sharing the gift of who you are with the world is a blessing.
We also believe that connecting with the natural world and all its inherent beauty and wild contradictions is a wonderful way to trigger and glean helpful insights.
And hell, it just feels good!
So come along with us if you’re yearning to say yes to your dreams, yes to adventure and yes to self-discovery and following what delights your soul. It’s an “Inside-Out” adventure—learning to connect with your inner world so you can take inspired action on the outside. All while enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Iceland and good kindred company.
We’d love to have you.
No worries if you’re scared, like Walter Mitty, or don’t even remember what your dreams are. We get scared too. And we’ll help you connect with your dreams and have a lot of fun as we go.
We’re in this together. All for all. One beautiful adventurous step at a time.
About the facilitators:
Linda and Tamara are sisters. They have been collaborating since the early 70s, when their love for putting together sparkly and dynamic gatherings first started with their dolls.
Linda Fennell
Linda is a Mind-Body life coach inspired by nature. She loves sharing tools that help people tune in to their own inner wisdom—that benevolent energy inside everyone that helps them align with their personal truth, with what they love, and with how they want to feel. Linda believes that one of the best tools for connecting with inner wisdom is by frolicking and spending time in nature. She is also a master at creating warm, welcoming space as she helps her clients see, like she does, the brilliance and beauty of who they are.
Tamara Gatchell
Tamara is principal of Cadence Analytics and lead researcher at Bridge Innovate. Tamara is a collaborator: she loves to journey with a team of people as they work toward a goal or strive to answer important questions. She has been meditating on the Agile Manifesto principle of simplicity that states, “the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential.” In our business and personal endeavors it is important to pass on the things that distract us and consciously maximize the amount we don’t do! Tamara believes that making time for retreat and reflection leads to insight and allows us to reconnect with what is most important. Where better to do this than in the arresting beauty of Iceland?
Laufey Ása Bjarnadóttir
Laufey Ása Bjarnadóttir is an Iceland native. She and Tamara met many moons ago when they shared two years of graduate school together at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (learning and laughing the whole way). Laufey is a senior consultant at Azazo and currently lives in the Reykjavik area with her beautiful family. Tamara and Linda both appreciate her easygoing attitude and sense of humor. You can learn more about the wonderful and talented Laufey on her Linkedin page here.
