When God Was a Woman

Mountains, sea, temples and tides.

For eight days we follow a thread through Greece from the slopes of Delphi to the sacred caves of Crete, from mountain villages to the southern beaches. We move slowly and explore the wisdom that arises when there is enough spaciousness to hear ourselves.

There will be shared meals beneath the cypress trees, swimming in the sea, ritual, and long stretches of unhurried time. Evenings by candlelight, days outside in the cool mountain air. A deep reset for our bodies and a community that feeds our souls.

Your Days

MAY 23

🌀 Athens — The Threshold

Arrive, wander, rest. In the evening we gather for our welcome dinner as the Acropolis glows against the night sky.

MAY 24–25

🌀 Delphi — The Mountain of the Oracle

Private coach through olive groves and wild thyme. We walk the Sacred Way, visit the Temple and the Castalian Spring, and hear the stories beneath the stones with a guide who speaks to Athena, Gaia, the Oracle. Sound healing, somatic movement, a women's circle, and the charming town.

MAY 26

🌀 Skotino Cave & Kritsa —  Sacred Ground & Women's Hands

We fly south to Crete and travel to Skotino Cave, one of the island's oldest sacred sites. The night belongs to Kritsa — a mountain weaving village where Greek friends cook for us, take us to see handwoven textiles, and pour coffee beneath flowering vines. A Greek sleepover.

MAY 27–30

🌀 The South Shore — Mother Sea, Mother Earth

We descend toward one of the wildest coastlines in Greece. Sound baths, yoga, and swims in clear blue water. Seaside daybeds and afternoon naps. These days are devoted to restoration — to remembering that wisdom often arrives carried by waves, sunlight, and laughter.

MAY 31

🌀 Knossos — The Thread Home

Our final morning at Knossos, ceremonial heart of ancient Crete — breathtaking frescoed halls and ancient passageways. The pilgrimage concludes with our farewell lunch overlooking the palace. From here, the choice of what comes next is yours.

Choose Your Room

Our accommodations are small hotels and guesthouses chosen for their sense of place, rooted in the landscape and the lives of the people who call Greece home. Rather than anonymous resorts, we’ve chosen warm, welcoming spaces.

This is something rarer than luxury in the conventional sense ~ it's honest beauty, generous hospitality, and the gift of slow living.

Our spirit of adventure is woven with presence: wandering through tiny villages, meeting shop owners, lingering over coffee, and ending our days at a beachside taverna watching the sunset.

For me, this is the luxury worth seeking: beautiful places, people sharing their traditions with us, meals made with love, and the freedom to experience Greece at a pace that allows us to truly be there.

When you come together, you each receive a Companion Gift of €500 — yours to use however feels right.

You can apply it to your own registration, or you can give it forward to matriarchy in the Soul Sisters Fund. Every donation to the fund is matched fully by Shari.

The Soul Sisters Scholarship Fund supports women who spend their days tending our future and rarely get to invest in themselves. Retreat scholarship for under-supported school teachers is especially close to my heart.
