Mary Magdalene is, above all, the archetype of Everywoman.
Indeed, throughout the Gospels, we see her on her personal path, her becoming towards this initiate, this contemplative of which the Gospel of Mary speaks. Her itinerary is that of the feminine we find in each of us, a path to fulfillment. Her Christianity focused on contemplation and an intimate connection with the divine. But also, on the idea that we can find dignity and beauty in every human soul.
We will follow her itinerary in Provence. From Les Saintes Maries de la mer where she arrived to escape persecution in 47 AD to the grotto of the Sainte Baume mountain where she finished her life. At the same time, you could attend to the several traditional celebrations organized since 7 centuries in her honor. In conclusion, I invite you to meet the Apostle of Love, in her many faces, following her paths and those of her companions, through the wonderful scenery of Provence.

This Mary Magdalene Festival in Provence 2023 over the feast week is being offered to a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 14 persons on a first to reserve basis.
