Black Sand Beach Meditation at Vík

Reynisfjara’s crowds are two kilometres west; our stretch of black sand gets the same waves with none of the tour buses. We time each session to the tide so the wave rhythm is at its most regular — the ocean is a better meditation teacher than we are. The hour moves through breath awareness, open listening, and a closing walking meditation along the waterline. Wool blankets, windproof ponchos and hot tea included. In winter we run a darkness edition under the stars that regulars refuse to shut up about.
