7 day retreat - In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene

In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene

5-11 September 2023

Hosted by Johanna Ohls Stoltz and Kate de Wales

Welcome to the mysterious and beautiful southern France.

An inner journey for you who yearns to find peace within.

A spiritual journey where you can experience your divine light, the divine feminine within, your essence.

Wonderful days in a fantastic environment together with other women in a small group and with personal commitment.

 Our days will be filled with time in silence, meditation, yoga or body medicine and energy work. Through various ceremonies,  rituals in nature, energy work, healing, meditation and inner reflection, we meet the woman in ourselves. We explore Mary Magdalene energies and the divine feminine within us and learn more about Mary Magdalene, her wisdom, her teachings and what she means for us today.  

On excursions to selected Maria Magdalena sites filled with legends and history we will experience the magical alchemy through various rituals. You get to meet yourself and your inner light, to nourish your soul. We grow together as a group and create a community that carries us forward on the journey of meeting ourselves. 

Healthy nutritious meals mainly vegetarian and made from local ingredients will be served at the venue. We will visit a vineyard run by women for a wine tasting.

The setting with magical energies is surrounded by inspiring nature in an old beautifully restored mill along the river in Pierre Morte, close to St Chinian. In the generous garden you can stroll around, listen to the river and enjoy the summer heat or dive into the pool.

The mill has generous surfaces, a beautiful space for yoga or body medicine and communal gatherings. The rooms are tastefully decorated and different in character. You can choose between double rooms, suites for two to three people or a single room.

More about the program

Part of the program consists of visiting carefully selected places charged with energies related to Mary Magdalene.

We visit Rennes le Château, the small village with the mythical priest Berenger Sauniere and the mysteries surrounding the Holy Grail.

In a remote river basin just outside the medieval town of Caunes Minervois lies a hidden gem. In this sacred valley we find a medieval chapel, Notre Dame du Cros and a sacred spring. Here we enjoy our picnic in this beautiful place.

The medieval village of Minerve offers a special atmosphere that we can experience firsthand. A spectacular fortified city regarded as the holy city of the Cathars. 

We experience a lovely boat trip by canal boat along the Canal du Midi. We will be offered a fantastic vegetarian lunch and energy treatment under the trees along the canal. A calm and harmonious experience.

Together we explore who Mary Magdalene was. What she means for us today. The divine feminine within us. Feminine power. Through various ceremonies, rituals in nature, energy work, healing, meditation and inner reflection, we meet the woman in ourselves. We grow together as a group and create a community that carries us forward on the journey of meeting ourselves.

We end the week with a lighting ceremony.  

Can't thank Johanna enough for this profound and life changing experience. It's very hard to put what I learned and experienced on this course into words, but I feel like a different person.
