Focus on natural healing, wellness, and preventive health care. The clinic integrates a holistic approach where plants and food are considered an essential part of the treatment process for patients.

Participants support the clinic's sustainability and wellness goals through activities in the greenhouses and herbal gardens. The main tasks include planting, harvesting, and maintaining crops, as well as controlling pests and ensuring plant health.

A special aspect of this placement is contributing to the production of the clinic's signature herbal tea - assisting in every stage of the process: growing, drying, and packaging the herbs. This tea is later used in the clinic's meals and treatments, supporting the therapeutic nutrition provided to patients.

This experience offers a meaningful way to understand the connection between sustainable agriculture, health, and natural rehabilitation.

Volunteers will stay in a house operated by The Natural Health Association in Hveragerði.

Located within the medical compound, the house features 9 single rooms, a fully equipped

kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a shared common area for relaxation and group activities.

Total capacity: 9 people (including Camp Leaders)

Washing machine available on site

Access to the local swimming pool, restricted time (please review Icelandic pool regulations

before use)

Food is included for the entire duration of the work camp; however, everyone is expected to do

their fair share of cooking and cleaning. Since it's always fun to try new and different dishes,

volunteers are encouraged to bring their favorite recipes from home!

We also invite everyone to try vegetarian food during their stay with us.

We provide a well-balanced and healthy variety of ingredients, including whole grains, seasonal

fruits and vegetables, pantry staples, dairy products, and vegetarian/vegan options. To help reduce

our carbon footprint, we limit meat consumption and promote sustainable, plant-based meals.

We do not provide soft drinks or candies, but we do offer plenty of ingredients for baking

delicious snacks. As we bake our own bread, feel free to bring your favorite golden-crust recipe

from home!

Please inform us in advance if you have any food allergies or special dietary needs, so we can accommodate you properly.

There's plenty to enjoy in Hveragerði, a charming town known as the hot spring capital of Iceland. Surrounded by geothermal activity and stunning landscapes, it's a perfect place for both outdoor adventures and relaxation. You'll find scenic hiking trails, greenhouses warmed by natural hot springs, a geothermal park, a swimming pool, cozy cafés, and local art galleries.

WF Iceland organizes affordable weekend and one- excursions to Iceland's most stunning natural sites - including waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic and geothermal areas, lava fields, hot springs, and more.

(A minimum number of participants is required to run excursions.))

Nature is always within reach here - go hiking, play golf, try ocean swimming, or even skiing. Remember to plan your hikes safely, respect nature, stay on marked trails, and never climb steep mountains without a professional guide.

The Northern Lights can be seen from September to April, when the skies are dark and clear.

Don't go for high and steep mountains without a professional guide.
