Touring Iceland with Snorri Plus: Where Physics, Healthcare & Libraries Intersect
Julie Summers brings us together with three Snorri alumni - Helga, Peter, and Diane - to explore the Snorri Plus experience. Their 30+ touring program brings participants to Iceland where they can engage deeply with culture, heritage, and contemporary life. In our conversation, we'll hear reflections, stories, and insights from their times in Iceland: what surprised them, what stayed with them, and how Iceland reveals itself as a true microcosm of the world. From healthcare to libraries to physics, we learn how interconnected life in Iceland can be, and how quickly meaningful connections form between people across disciplines, professions, and backgrounds. Programs like Snorri, Snorri Plus, and even Icelandic Roots tours offer something deeper than travel alone. This episode is a reflection on how Iceland, time and again, becomes the meeting place. Visit https://www.snorri.is/ or https://www.icelandicroots.com/ to learn more about these programs.

Reykjavík Composer on Jazz, Sagas, Eiríksstaðir & the Creative Life of an Artist
Hafdís Bjarnadóttir is a Reykjavík-based composer and guitarist known for breaking boundaries between genres - drawing on everything from jazz and folk to avant-garde, poetry, and contemporary classical. In this conversation, we trace her path from learning jazz guitar to composing award-winning works, reflect on her time reenacting history in costume at the Eiríksstaðir Museum, and dig into the theory, culture, and economics of being an artist in Iceland today. We also explore how collaboration shapes creativity and where the Icelandic music scene is heading.

Weaving Njáls Saga Across the World: The Traveling Tapestry Tour
Claudia Peterson is the driving force behind the North American tour of the crowd-sewn, Icelandic-wool Njáls Saga Tapestry — an extraordinary living artwork born in Hvolsvöllur, Iceland, with the mission of rallying support for a permanent museum to showcase this saga masterpiece in its hometown. In this episode, we look into the tapestry’s unique place in Icelandic and world history and hear Claudia’s behind-the-scenes stories from the road — sharing how communities across North America, from Calgary to Seattle, are connecting with this epic piece of Viking heritage. We also explore personal ties to Njáls Saga, the entrepreneurial vision of letting people in on a piece of Iceland’s saga legacy, and how this community-powered effort can help build a world-class museum in southern Iceland for generations to come. You’ll hear insights on living history, the art of marketing, and the timeless psychology of humanity — all stitched together in this conversation that invites you to be part of the journey. Discover how you can support, spread the word, and help bring Njáls Saga home — a rich tapestry indeed (pun absolutely intended). https://www.icelandicroots.com/post/bringing-the-saga-era-to-the-modern-era-understanding-the-nj%C3%A1l-saga-tapestry Njáls Saga on Tour: Weaving Iceland’s Epic for the World
