Ulfhednar Retreat is a healing immersion for veterans focused on transformation, nervous system reset, and reclaiming inner strength through movement, myth, and ceremony.

I started Ulfhednar Retreat in February 2025.

I have been obsessed with wolves since I was a little kid. In my life, have had three dogs that are close descendants of wolves. I have had a Norwegian Elkhound, and two huskies. My house is also filled with wolf and Viking decor as well. This led me into learning about legends of wolves and how I found Vikings. while learning about Viking lore I came upon the Berserkers. They were a special class of Viking warrior who normally wore no armor just animal pelts of wolves or bears, and they fought alone. In this research I came across Ulfhednar, which means wolf warrior in Norse. These were a special class of berserkers that used wolf pelts and fought in small teams rather than alone like most berserkers. This gave me the idea to incorporate Vikings in my retreat. I have been studying Viking Lore for the past few years and have found peace and solace in its teachings.

The goal of Ulfhednar Retreat is to have a self-contained Viking compound that veterans can come to and experience a new way of healing and comrade completely free for the veteran. I hope that I can help other veterans like I have. been helped in the past. Thank You.
