In the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene: A South of France Pilgrimage for 2027
A pilgrimage through the Magdalene lands of Southern France — where a Western lineage of the sacred feminine was kept, and where Magdalene stands as a teacher in her own right.
The Magdalene lands
In 2027, I intend to guide a pilgrimage through the South of France — the Magdalene lands. The full route is still being shaped. I am sharing the beginning now because some journeys announce themselves long before every date is ready.
Southern France carries a Western lineage of the same sacred feminine I meet in Egypt. These are lands where the Grail stories and the Cathar communities kept a memory of Christ consciousness: the love and presence embodied in Yeshua, and held in the feminine by Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. Magdalene stands here as a teacher and bearer of that wisdom in her own right, not a footnote to it.
One current, two landscapes
This is the thread of my deeper work. The Solar Feminine that Egypt encoded in Sekhmet, Hathor, and Ma’at is the same current the West remembered in Mary and Magdalene. One lineage of the sacred feminine, carried across traditions — fierce clarity, love as medicine, and truth as the compass.
You do not need a background in theology to walk this. You need a willingness to be in the land, to pray in your own way, and to let a woman’s spiritual authority be taken seriously.
How we will walk
This will not be a tour of churches collected like stamps. It will be pilgrimage: walking, silence, shared meals, and time in the places that have held Magdalene devotion for centuries. We move slowly enough for the body to participate — not only the mind.
There may be recognition, grief, joy, or simple quiet. None of it needs to be performed. The aim is to return with something that can be lived: a clearer relationship to love, to the feminine, and to the sacred in ordinary life.
The 2027 invitation
The South of France Mary Magdalene pilgrimage is planned for 2027. Exact dates, route, investment, and group size are not yet confirmed. Waitlist members will hear first.
If this current feels familiar — Egypt and the West speaking in one voice — let that be enough to begin. The listening starts before the departure.
