Accessibility:
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door).
The bathrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral. The event takes place on the ground floor.
Private organisational meeting (strictly invitations only).
Refugees and asylum seekers often find themselves in a liminal space, existing in a gap between the past and the future. In this in-between phase, individuals are neither fully part of their old culture nor fully integrated into a new one.
In Expressive Arts (EXA) therapy, we invite participants to enter this liminal space through art-making, ritual, and play. This process encourages exploration of the essence of one’s being, an encounter with beauty in the unknown, and the discovery of inner resources and potential. Art provides a means to give shape to fragmented stories, acting as a container for emotions that are difficult to express verbally. It is a way to communicate hope, and the process is resource-oriented, held with care and compassion within a thoughtfully crafted frame.
This bi-weekly gathering serves as a temporary home for the displaced and oppressed—a “testimony through art.” The goal is to foster a sense of belonging and connection, preventing withdrawal and helping participants move through physical and mental stagnation. Through creativity and imagination, we aim to cultivate a sense of hope in the midst of uncertainty.
Note on Group:
These sessions will be facilitated by Yi Jen Chang, expressive arts therapist-in-training. For safety and to maintain a consistent dynamic, this will be a closed group with a maximum of 6 participants. This group is currently full. If you’re interested in joining future sessions when space becomes available, please contact Yi Jen at bodywilderness@gmail.com. We will notify you as soon as a new group is formed. This group will be conducted in English, but all languages are welcome! Non-verbal communication and expression are always encouraged in this space.
What is expressive arts therapy?
Expressive arts therapy is a therapeutic approach that places the creative process at the center of the human experience. Rather than focusing on advanced skills, it emphasizes the innate creativity of individuals and the heightened sensitivity that enables them to bring new things into being. This integrative approach uses a variety of creative expressions—such as poetry, music, visual arts, theater, clay, movement, and nature-based methods—to help individuals navigate personal challenges/ inquiries and explore their own resources. No previous art experience is required—just your presence.

Children’s Festival – A Celebration of Play & Creativity
We are hosting a children’s festival, where 20 to 40 specially invited children, aged 8 to 10, from the neighborhood will come together to celebrate the joy of childhood. The event aims to encourage outdoor play, fun activities, and games, creating a welcoming space for families to connect with Andrými. Additionally, we hope to inspire local artists friends to engage with the children by teaching them painting and colouring, fostering creativity and community spirit.

The building itself is not wheelchair accessible.
Los dos propósitos principales del café sin fronteras son 1) compartir información acerca de la situación legal y material actuales para las personas que buscan asilo en Islandia, y 2) seguir rompiendo las fronteras invisibles que nos separan les unes de les otres.
Tenemos la esperanza de que momentos como este café puedan dar mayor fuerza al entendimiento y la solidaridad para con las personas que se ven forzadas a cruzar las fronteras en circunstancias peligrosas y/o se ven envueltas en procedimientos hostiles en busca de asilo en otros países para así tener una vida más segura. También queremos simplemente ofrecer un espacio en el que poder pasar el rato juntes con buena compañía y quizás de vez en cuando ofrecer también charlas programadas, ver películas, etc. Que estén relacionadas con los derechos de las personas que migran y la lucha contra las fronteras europeas.
No hace falta decir que hay cero tolerancia al racismo, la xenofobia, la homofobia, la transfobia, el sexismo, la discriminación por edad, la discriminación contra las personas con discapacidad y cualquier otro tipo de opresión.
¡Nos vemos en Andrými!
