Jewel
Priestess Retreat, Greece
Serifos | September 19-25, 2026
The luxury Greek island retreat for women walking the priestess path.
An intimate week of practice, rest, ceremony, healing and sisterhood in a space featured in Condé Nast's Top 100 Hotels on land where the footsteps of the priestesses still echo, minutes from sea that has held women's rituals for aeons.
Under the Mediterannean sun, beside the deep blue waters of the Aegean, our days are woven on the loom of the feminine mysteries. The cicadas vibrate and we fall under the same spell as our priestess foremothers: earth, sun, sea and the temple arts. For one week we live inside the ritual, and our meals, our movement and our bodywork merge into one infinite ceremony.
After our Equinox Ceremony, the second half of our retreat is dedicated to integration. We go on an adventure to secluded beaches by boat and have a celebratory feast. We spend our remaining days on retreats
REBIRTH
Half-way through our retreat we sit in ceremony with plant medicines of the land and let them work their magick. Our ceremony comprises silence, dance and sharing. Everyone's experience will be adjusted towards their unique requirements with the intention of them receiving what they need.
CEREMONY
Over 7 days you'll move through practices designed specifically for women on the feminine spiritual path: movement, sacred sensuality, body work and ritual to open the body, awaken energy and purge stagnation. These practices prepare us for our initiation ceremony on the Autumn Equinox.
PRACTICE
For two thousand years, the greatest spiritual rite of the ancient world took place in Greece over Autumn Equinox.
Jewel Retreat is woven from the same thread as the Eleusinian Mysteries. We gather in the same season as the initiates, on a Greek island held by the same sea and our practices and rituals are inspired by the same rites our priestess foremothers oversaw.
Minimalistic architecture and design at one with the landscape. Designed by acclaimed Mold Architects, it blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings — a sanctuary of comfort and serenity, crafted from reclaimed stone and sustainable materials, its cavernous spaces submerged into the natural tapestry, opening up to the wilderness and the infinite blue of the Aegean. The retreat is 5 minutes walk from a nudist-friendly beach and a 2-hour ferry ride from Athens' ports. Opened in 2025, Perma Serifos has not yet become overhyped. I am excited to be hosting one of the first women's retreats in this beautiful location.
We spend 7 days at Perma Serifos – featured in Vogue and Conde Nast's Top 100 hotels.
The beautiful Perma Serifos where luxury and beauty become part of the experience.
The beaches are unspoilt. You'll find long sweeps of golden sand and sheltered turquoise coves. Even in high summer, it's still possible to find a quiet patch of shoreline that feels entirely private. Serifos is a Cycladic island that hasn't yet been discovered by the crowds. It is still untamed. Its landscape is rugged and elemental, with wind-carved hills, tawny rock and wide open horizons dropping into impossibly clear Aegean water. Compared to its busier neighbours, Serifos has held on to a raw, spacious beauty that invites you to slow down and breathe a little deeper. Here, there is the feeling of having been let into a secret.

"A special kind of attunement occurs in women-only spaces. The primal memory of softness, sensuality, wildness and sisterly-closeness invites the nervous system into co-regulation.
MIRIAM ROPSCHITZ
A week of you walking the priestess path on land where the sacred is palpable. Remembering your wild body, close to the earth and sea; sun-kissed skin & salty hair. Blissful morning movement, sacred workshops, delicious seasonal food; a full-body exhale as your nervous system attunes to the earth's pace. A week devoted to embodying the transmission of your work, supported by sisters, embraced by feminine spiritual practice and drenched in soul nourishment.

I've been hosting women's retreats since 2016, at sacred sites across the world. After 15 retreats, I know what makes an exceptional experience.
15 Retreats. 10 Years. Sacred Sites.
Many people leave retreats exhausted. Not at Jewel! Sunshine, food, water, bodywork, feminine movement and somatics, every day.
You Will Leave Nourished
This is not a retreat where you return and slip into the life you left. This is profound, re-organising work at a cellular level.
Change at the Cellular Level
My retreats are filled with women I know, not strangers. I do this both for safety and group coherence. You'll be in aligned company!
Curated Guest List
This is not your average women's retreat. This is a transformational, luxury space.

Miriam’s retreat is a dream! It brought a lot of goodness into my life; slowness, nurturing, friendship. With Miriam’s gentle encouragement, I learned ways of caring for myself that continue to serve me and enrich my life. The retreat has really changed a lot for me, and I feel really proud of being a part of it. If you are new to retreats or women’s spaces and feeling a little nervous, don’t worry. You are in excellent hands! Miriam leads with the greatest gentleness, humour and care. She shares her extensive wisdom from an earthy, embodied place – there is no artifice or pretension. Miriam teaches what she lives – and she lives very well! I encourage you all to experience the magic that Miriam has created. The retreat is slow and sensual and beautiful. It’s Mediterranean nights, red wine and dinner parties. It’s yoga in the morning, and sunbathing in the afternoon, and a cat that sleeps curled up in the conservatory. Come lie in the sun, move slow, and remember what it means to live an aligned life.
RIA LILLEY, MADRID
Miriam’s work opened my eyes to a whole new world of feminine wisdom, energy and sisterhood. I didn’t realise it was missing in my life until her workshops and retreats opened me to it. I wish I had this wisdom and knowledge when I was a girl – it would’ve significantly shaped the woman I've become. This work is powerful. I sought Miriam’s mentoring after multiple miscarriages and spent time to heal physically and emotionally. After joining her retreat in Italy and continuing my feminine practices, I was over the moon to fall pregnant naturally a few months afterwards. Part of this nourishing practice comes directly from Miriam. Her work is empowering and loving. Her inclusive nature and approach helps to meet a participant where they are in life. She’s a steward of her own sisterhood and makes it her mission to help women blossom. This journey is lifelong, and I’ll continue to be an ongoing participant in her various offerings. Thank you, Miriam.

My time on retreat with Miriam is one I'd love to relive again and again. The cocoon of rest and connection she wove, allowed me to ebb and flow between states of solitude and community, without ever feeling like I needed to show up in a certain way. My body, mind and heart were overflowing with nourishment after the retreat from the movement practices, meditative states, education about how to support my cyclical nature as a woman, meeting incredible women (whom I remain in beautiful friendships with to this day), the nurturing food and landscapes, and Miriam's presence, love and support throughout this process of unfurling and coming home to myself. I am eternally grateful for the magic Miriam has created and continue to witness the butterfly effect of this experience to this day. I encourage all women to consider entering the sacred portals Miriam creates.

I felt truly opened by this experience and like I left the retreat a changed woman! Miriam was such a loving host, the group felt really cared for and nourished by her calm and playful energy and all the gorgeous practices she shared with us! I felt honoured to have shared a space with her and the other women. So much care and attention was paid throughout the whole week, excellent food and massages, beautiful surroundings, nature, animals. Can’t recommend enough!

I've been hosting women's retreats since 2016 at sacred sites around the world. Bringing women walking the feminine spiritual path to gather in places of breathtaking beauty and ancient history enacts seismic shifts in the lives of my guests.
Curating these spaces with great attention to detail: from the guest list, to the food, to the music, to the activities – is what I do best. I love to create temples for women where they can relax in beauty, ease and pleasure and remember what it means to walk the priestess path in 2026.
Jewel is a retreat for feminine leaders taking the next steps in their journey, recalibrating to a new level of embodiment and clarity. I cannot wait to welcome you to Serifos for a week of magick, naked swims, sacred self-touch, daily movement and candlelit feasts.
This will be a retreat of a lifetime. I invite you to join me.
Hello Sister, I'm Miriam.
