Iceland, October 17th-22nd, 2025

Step into another world.

The Land of Fire and Ice.

Volcanos. Glaciers. Hot Springs. Lava Fields.

Northern Lights. Viking History.

Embark on a five day adventure embracing the best Southern Iceland has to offer.

  • Sky Lagoon

    The epitome of pampering. Experience the traditional 7 step Skjól Icelandic ritual and feel a new level of relaxation you didn’t know possible. Our intinerary includes a trip to Sky Lagoon on the first morning, starting your time in Iceland immersed in tradition.

  • Horse Back Riding

    Icelandic Horses are a breed of their own. These iconic, majestic horses are all direct decedents from the Viking Era. On day two, you’ll enjoy a relaxing horse back ride through the countryside.

  • The Caves at Hella

    Iceland’s oldest archeological remains. Man made caves of unknown origin contain wall carvings, ancient crosses, and carved seats. Were they the work of the Celts? The Vikings? Were they used for worship? For housing? Step back in time and experience the energy for yourself.

  • Waterfalls

    Visit two of Iceland’s most popular waterfalls, one you can walk behind and another inside a cave (the first photo on this page).

  • Hike to a Thermal River

    Deep in between rolling hills you’ll find a thermal river - perfect for taking a dip on a cold day. This not so secret spot is in hiking distance from the house.

  • Viking Dinner

    Step into the past as you enter this turf roof restaurant and dine like a true Viking. Gluten free options available.

  • Private Hot Tub and River Access

    Enjoy a hot soak from the back deck, or, try a cold plunge and hot soak combo. A set of stairs provides easy river access. Bonus (but not guaranteed): see the Northern Lights while soaking in the hot tub at night.

  • Catch the Northern Lights

    October dark nights and clear skies offer an opportunity to see the Northern Lights dance in the sky. While not guaranteed, there is a good chance of seeing them directly from the house.

  • Blue Lagoon

    A trip to Iceland wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the world famous Blue Lagoon. Spend your last full day in Iceland soaking up the healing mineral water and enjoying a complementary silica mud face mask.

Yoga twice a day. Home cooked meals. Camaraderie. Laughter. Healing. Relaxation.

Enjoy a retreat in the finest nature Mother Earth has to offer. Experience Iceland.

I’m in.

Meet Your Host

Erica Onofrio first fell in love with Iceland during a road trip around Ring Road in 2022. She recently completed a second road trip around Ring Road in 2025. She loves everything about Iceland, from the weather (which surprised her!), to the hot springs, the endless scenery for as far as the eye can see, and most of all - how magical it feels. She is excited to bring her retreats to a new land and share the magic of Iceland with others.

Our retreats are intended to create an energetic shift within you to bring you to a more peaceful, more aligned, and more fulfilled version of yourself.

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity experience another country, meet new, like minded people and reconnect with your soul, all while enjoying unique cuisine and gorgeous views.

Where You’ll Stay

Tucked 45 minutes away from the main city of Reykjavik, nestled next to the riverside, this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house and accompanying 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom guest house will be your home for your Icelandic adventure. Complete with hot tub and stairs leading to the river for cold plunges.

The Weather in October

Expect temperatures around 38-41 degrees. While snow is possible, it is not likely. This is the shoulder season between summer and winter and an optimal time for catching the Northern Lights before the winter weather starts to cloud the night sky.

Days are shorter, but not terribly short, with sunrise averaging around 8:30am and sunset around 5:50pm during our stay.

All activities are within one hour of the house. The house is approximately 45 minutes from the airport. On the very first day of arrival, we will visit Sky Lagoon before heading to the house. Sky Lagoon is approximately 40 minutes from the house.

We won’t be spending any time in the major city of Reykjavik, so, if it interests you, we recommend extending your stay to experience the city for a day or two, if desired. Please note, transportation is not included outside of the retreat start and end times (7am October 17th to 2pm October 22nd). If you prefer to explore the city before the retreat start, please check with Erica about best options to connect to begin the retreat on the morning of the 17th.

A complete itinerary is available via email. Please request at info@souldreamsstudio.com

We make it simple. Pack a bag. Buy a plane ticket. Join us on a new adventure.

We recommend flying Icelandair. If you are local to NJ, NY, or PA, Icelandair offers the best prices from Newark International Airport (EWR).

Please select Keflavik International Airport (KEF) for arrival and departure.

Please note: the retreat begins on Friday, October 17th as soon as you arrive! Airport pickup is scheduled for 7am with a brief stop scheduled to see the Bridge Between Continents and the sunrise before getting breakfast at Brikk in Hafnarfördur and then enjoying Sky Lagoon from 10am-2pm.

For departures, you’ll return to the airport by 2pm on Wednesday, October 22nd for a 5pm departure flight. Please do not book flights outside of these arrival and departure times before first speaking with Erica 609 442 4266 to make sure you can be accommodated.

Previous Retreat Feedback

“I just returned from the best yoga retreat with Erica and a group of fantastic, funny, smart and genuine women. The yoga and guided mediation & journaling was meaningful because of Erica’s gifted perception and spirit. The accommodations were clean and very comfortable with lots of space for participants to have privacy, indoors and outdoors. The meals were nutritious, with options for specific dietary needs. It was more than I could have imagined. Honestly the most fulfilling and magical yoga retreat I’ve ever been on.”

Previous Retreat Feedback

“Erica hosted a fabulous retreat! I felt so well taken care of the entire trip. The retreat was well balanced with yoga and exploring Costa Rica. I highly recommend and can’t wait for the next retreat! The retreat was fantastic! Erica was so organized and her energy calm. She has a special gift. I’m glad I could be a part of the experience!

More info about our retreats:

All retreats hosted by Soul Dreams studio are sober retreats. This means there is no alcohol or drug use allowed in any form. If this doesn’t work for you, this isn’t the retreat for you. Thank you for your understanding.

Our private chef will cook most of the meals you eat during the retreat, other than 3 meals outside of the house and one take out meal on the first evening, which is included in the retreat price. (One breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner will be dining out). Dietary restrictions and allergies can be accommodated. The host has celiac disease and adheres to a strict gluten free diet and extremely minimal dairy and the chef has knowledge on how to prepare meals for gluten and dairy free guests. Please reach out to discuss any other dietary restrictions or concerns at info@souldreamsstudio.com

Our retreats have hosted guests from the ages of 22 to 74! We tend to have most guests in the 40-70 range, however, we welcome guests of all ages to join us.

While all of the retreats we have hosted so far have been women, we have had men recently express interest in joining in on a retreat but they do not want to be the only male (totally understandable)! So, if you are a male who is interested in this retreat and doesn’t want to be the only guy, please reach out directly and we will see what stars we can align!

Often, our retreat goers are not regular yoga practitioners, however, they enjoy the yoga during the retreat and many have started a regular yoga practice upon returning home. All yoga classes (and any group events) are completely optional.

Your host, Erica Onofrio, began hosting retreats in 2023. This retreat to Iceland is the 7th retreat for her to host. You can read more about previous retreats and most popular questions and answers here.
