Come with us on a journey filled with mystery and

awaken the Divine Feminine within yourself

Join us on a mystical journey to the sites sacred to

Mary Magdalene in the South of France

23 to 31 May 2018

Spend a week exploring the myth and ritual

of Mary Magdalene, Mysteries of Mary tarot and

ritual in Provence, France

Shrine of Mary Magdalene in the Basilica of St Maximin st Baume on my blog Cloister of the Heart http://pathofdivinelove.blogspot.com

Join us for 8 nights and 7 days in the

South of France following in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene

after the Resurrection, to the last days of her life in the grotto

at La Sainte Baume.

It will include three days at the

Sara la Kali pilgrimage and gypsy festival 

at Saintes Maries de la Mer

The focus of this pilgrimage is the Divine Feminine

and her story in the myth of Mary Magdalene

and Sara la Kali.   Time will be spent immersing

ourselves in the sacred energies as pilgrims on these

ancient paths;  a daily meditation circle and tarot work,

tarot journalling, ritual, finding your Earth gifts and

creating a mandala in the forest, visiting the reliquaries,

creating your own tarot card and collage, creating and

ceremoniously walking a Goddess labyrinth.

And did I mention three days during the feast day of

Sara la Kali and the sacred gypsy festival and pilgrimage?

And a full day of scouring French brocante and flea markets?

We will meet on 23 May 2018 in Marseilles France

and spend the night.

The following day, after a visit to the Black Madonna of

Marseilles, we will travel to the village of

Saintes Maries de la Mer

for the three day Gypsy pilgrimage to Sante Sara la Kali and festivities.

(You can read about my previous pilgrimage to

Sante Sara and the Gypsy pilgrimage on my blog here)

Then we will move to Saint Maximin de la Sainte Baume

for the remainder of the trip.

The basilica in St Maximin la St Baume where the remains
of Mary Magdalene was found and the basilica was
erected on the site

Here we will visit the Mary Magdalene shrine

and skull reliquary at

Basilica Saint Maximin la Saint Baume.

We will travel to the sanctuary and Grotte St Saint Baume of

Mary Magdalene and ceremoniously 

walk the pilgrimage to the sacred Grotto where Mary Magdalene's bones

 are kept and where she spent the last thirty years of her life.

We will drink water from the sacred spring in the Sanctuary

of Mary Magdalene.
