The Path of Light – Mary Magdalene & the Virgin Mary

Mary Magdalene & the Virgin Mary Retreat in France

May 2 – 12, 2026 | From the Pyrenees to Provence

Why This Journey Is Unique

In the sacred landscapes of Southern France, two radiant presences walk beside us — the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, companions of love, faith, and divine wisdom.

Through ancient forests, luminous chapels, and springs once blessed by pilgrims, this sacred retreat invites you to listen deeply, walk gently, and awaken the sacred feminine within — regardless of gender or tradition.

Together, we will follow the timeless footsteps of the Two Marys through sanctuaries and mountains where mystery and grace still whisper.
This is more than a pilgrimage — it is a return to your divine essence, through the loving presence of the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene.

A Path of Light and Transformation

“From devotion to embodiment — awakening the sacred feminine within, where love becomes light and faith becomes living presence.”

This retreat invites you to move beyond external worship into intimate communion with the Divine Feminine.
Through the Virgin Mary, you’ll rediscover serenity, trust, and the purity of divine love.
Through Mary Magdalene, you’ll awaken courage, sensual wisdom, and the joy of being fully alive.

Together, they open a path of integration — where heart and soul, heaven and earth, silence and song unite in harmony.
You return home radiant, peaceful, and grounded, carrying within you the living light of the Two Marys — no longer seeking the sacred, but embodying it.
