Welcome, Beloved.

Walk with us, in her footsteps…

September 9th - 15th, 2024

in the South of France

Sisters, Beloveds, Wisdom Keepers - We invite you to walk with us, in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene, as a pathway to deepened embodiment within. This is a sacred initiatory journey into the Self, with the archetypal wisdom and essence of Mary Magdalene as the center-altar of our pilgrimage.

Together, in ceremony, we shall follow the rose-lined path of Mary Magdalene, the archetypal Priestess who embodied the full luminescence of the Divine Feminine. In Her footsteps through the South of France, we will encounter the living transmission of Her essence, welcoming our own radiant and holy wholeness.

On this sacred pilgrimage, we invite the many faces of the Divine within - the Priestess holding sacred rites, the Beloved in devotional love, the embodiment of the Divine Feminine, the Christ-Counterpart walking as an equal, the Ceremonialist weaving ritual, the Wisdom Keeper carrying ancient truths, the Holy Whore embracing sensuality as the sacred, the Teacher of Mysteries unveiling life's profundities, the Saint revered through time. We shall not merely venerate Mary Magdalene's story but receive Her initiations directly into our bodies as She unveils the undivided truth of who we are.

In Sisterhood, we will wander through Her caves, sharing ceremony at Her altar sites and planting our feet upon the landscapes that cradled Her. At each sacred waypoint, we will open more profoundly to Her teachings. With the rose and our own unique, embodied experiences as guides, we will soften to embody the soul-centric love that was Her true anointing.

This journey is not about dogmatic teachings, but about receiving the multiple dimensions of HerStory into your very bones through direct somatic, ceremonial experience. No matter which of Her aspects you most resonate with, you are welcomed into Her mysteries. However She calls you - as Priestess, Beloved, Feminine Christ, Ritual Keeper, Sage, or Sacred Other - say "yes" to this path of profound embodiment and self-rediscovery.

Together, we shall ritualize the Feminine Mysteries and initiate ourselves into that which is rising up from deep within. At Her most revered sites in Southern France, where over 400,000 pilgrims journey annually, we will blend our voices into a chorus of reverence for the archetypal Feminine in all Her diverse splendor.

Let us cross the sacred thresholds together,
opening to receive the anointing of our beloved Magdalene.

The way is ancient, and the initiation is yours alone to embody.

We'll meet you in the holy depths and light the flame of remembering within...

Your Guides

Jessica Ricchetti is a Priestess, Mystic, Energy Alchemist, and Author whose soul-work is rooted in supporting women on a journey of embodying wholeness, honoring the sacred within, and sharing their own unique magic with the world. She has led hundreds of women through transformational experiences with an Alchemical blend of Energy Medicine, Sacred Ceremony, Soul Journey Breathwork, Circles, Retreats (over 20+), and Mentorship. Magdalene has been her primary guide since a life-altering journey in 2016. She has worked intimately with her ever since.

Deanna Jannuzzi is a Priestess, Somatic Practitioner, Sacred Breathwork Facilitator, and a Personal & Professional Mindfulness Coach. She weaves alchemical spaces of belonging to support aligning with the life you desire to live, activating your purpose, deepening into intuition, and empowering connection to our own voice. Deanna has seventeen women in her own lineage with the namesake Mary Magdalene tracing back to France. After walking her own pilgrimage through these very sites, and returning a palpably different woman, she is honored to guide others along this sacred walk.

Mary Magdalene herself is truly with us, guiding this pilgrimage. We have felt her potent presence, without question, guiding each of us in similar ways to bring you this pilgrimage. Through visions, we have found a way to bring her essence forward into each circle, ceremony, and ritual we experience together.

She is not separate than us. She is within us. Her archetypal spirit lives and breathes through us all… we are invited to breathe her very breath and ignite the remembering of her essence as our very own.
