Magdalena

A journey through the heart of the feminine mysteries

Magdalena arises from the remembering that life itself is born from great spirals and cycles and that there are moments in time—thresholds, crossroads, veils—that call us into transformation.

On this journey, we will reconnect with our first blood, honouring the innocence of the body, the sacredness of eros.

With loving presence, we turn toward the deep teachings of our wombs, the mysteries that have been guarded in the dark cauldrons within us.
We will stitch together the fractured parts of ourselves—healing the divide between mother and whore, a split cast upon Magdalene by a world that seeks to diminish the fullness of the feminine.
We welcome the teachings of birth, death, and resurrection as living testimonies to an ecstatic, embodied existence.

Through this sacred process, we come to understand that the cyclical nature of life is not one of limitation, but of infinite possibility and transformation.

We delve into our oracular gifts, awakening our intuitive wisdom and through all of this, we invite the teachings of love—love that moves through the beauty and vulnerability of the human heart, the very heart of the feminine.

Guides on the journey

Winter Jade Icely

Magdalena has been a veiled presence throughout my life, folded within the petals of every experience that has awakened the radiance at the core of my heart.

Magdalena is the grace that evokes my helplessness in the face of life's beauty. It is a willingness to be this life—to transmit and embrace every color, texture, tone, and taste.

Magdalena is the bridge to all worlds, all kingdoms, through the remembrance of this shared LIFE and its inherent sacredness.

Magdalena is the rites and rituals that anchor the worlds within and without.

It is the marriage of Christ and Mary within us—our own crucifixion, resurrection, and descension. The holy union of spirit and matter, LIVED now, in these sacrosanct bodies upon this Earth.

Magdalena is a gaze that cracks open the heart in grief for all the times we forgot

That we are this love.

It is the healthy shame of our own amnesia.

Magdalena is the eternal embrace for the moments we fail love.

It is the soothing whispers of forgiveness before anything ever began.

I’ve felt her in my most desperate put her hands on my shoulders, I have felt her heating the blood in my veins, She’s always the hope that carries me forward, the breathe that brings liveliness and the fire that rages justice.
My journey with her has been a revealing of her in everything, as she’s intimate to all.
A uncovering of the veil towards truth, over and over again, transmuting it all into divine acceptance and compassion.

My longing is to build the bridges that have been forgotten, so whoever is searching can find their portal home to her which is home to themselves.

Olivia Jensen

The meeting with Magdalene has infused a fiery path of soul initiation and evolution with the love and belonging which sits at the cornerstone of my heart.

Through her myth, her gospel, her archetypal prayer
I am reminded of what was never lost
Sensitivity
Sensuality
Creativity
Ritual, magic, moments of surrender
The truth of my tender sweet blazing Magdalene heart.

My journey with Magdalene has been one of dipping my fingers into oceans and earth and feeling the deeper truth of who I am and how Life wants to move me.
I am already home
I am already whole.

It is from this place, I serve.

Amelia Toohey

She reaches into the dark,
Through the shadows that obscure the path.
She is the heartbreak at the end, when there is nothing left to give,
The wholeness that fills the spaces between life and death,
The lifeblood of Love that anoints me,
The courage to return to Love again, when all seems lost.

Magdalene has revealed echoes within my heart,
Tracing back through time, through a thousand doorways,
To the untouched caverns of my Soul.

I have been brought to my knees,
Sweetly remembering my ancient capacity for love and devotion,
My inner gnosis of truth.

She speaks to me through soil and stone,
Through bone and blood,
Through divinity in matter,
Showing deep reverence for my ancient earth kin.

I am deeply in service.

This training is for (queer, trans, cis) women and welcomes al levels of experience, all ages and beliefs.

The teachings are designed to be integrated into everyday life.

Magdalena was the most beautiful, heart-opening and connective journey of my entire life. 6 days later, I feel my heart has been cracked open and all this light is shining through and I am so proud to say that I did break through my limitations and showed myself the amount of LIFE living within my shadows, that is ready to be seen..”

what others have shared

  • Kim, New Zealand

    The Magdalena journey was a powerful reclamation of an expanded, multi-faceted, authentic feminine that I feel I am now able to fully embody and enjoy.

    I've done multiple years of personal development and work in healing fields and get the ways in which we embodied fully archetypal energies has allowed a dissolution of social conditioning that had unconsciously shaped my self-expression living in this female body. 

    It felt as if the quality of all-encompassing love of the Magdalene herself came through the beautiful team guiding us to go ever deeper and higher - to re-member those lost and rejected parts of myself and allow them to be revealed.

  • Anna, Spain

    I was raised as a high achiever climbing the ‘successful’ ladder of patriarchy and mind feeding ascending knowledge.

    Magdalena has been for me the healing and remembering of the descending femenine wisdom that we almost lost from thousands of years of patriarchy.

    It has truly changed my gaze into the world and empowered the capacity of my heart to meet all polarities. I can’t be the same person I was before this training. I move, see, feel and love differently after Magdalena.

    I can’t imagine a most important work to be doing at this point of humanity if we truly want to make a change of direction.

    I feel the responsibility to keep embodying this life principle for the future to come.

    I have no words of how grateful I am for this work to be out in the world and for the wombs and the umbilical cords that stand for it 🌹

  • Romina, New Zealand

    It’s only been a few weeks after completing the extraordinary journey into Magdalena and I still feel her love running though my whole being… 

    This journey was the deepest of gifts and I’m so grateful I got to share it with my beautiful daughter.

    I never imagined the things that would came through for us, the tears, the shared dreams, the feeling into our ancestry and the incredible bond not only as mother and daughter but as passionate woman of this world. 

  • Sadhana, Mexico

    What I will bring with me to offer the world.

    A powerful journey to soul unfolding. A path of inner alignment and polarity integration. A remembrance of womanhood, not only about the wounds but the powerful gifts we carry as the feminine receptive life creative force. The womb and the blood we share with this planet. The respect for the inner and outer masculine that we naturally carry, love, care and hold.

    A sacred healing of the lineages as of the feminine and masculine archetypes. A loving space to celebrate sisterhood and bring healing love and hope for us all as a unity in and with this planet.

    A space touch and integrate the holiness of the sacred whore within. The journey of grace where the soul and the ego were met and hold with same love, compassion and tenderness; in solid steel presence, as they are one and the same love force.

  • Aiesha, Australia

    A few weeks ago I participated in Magdalena, a deep dive into the feminine mysteries, into the ancient magic that resides in all of our cells all the time. It was potent and deeply transformative. I am still melting into my new form.

    I'm feeling softer yet more powerful. Less rigid and more self assured. A new quality of trust is present.

    I had my first taste of how it feels to really inhabit this body, this flesh. To fully allow the subtleties of my daily experience, and start to enjoy the feeling in my body.

  • Anthea, Bali

    Magdalena was a journey that cracked my heart wide open. I come out of this container feeling utterly full and whole. It has been a journey of retrieving all parts of my soul and returning to my own true vitality. I cannot explain in words the gratitude and reverence I feel for this container, the sacredness of the rituals, sisterhood… Winter so beautifully bridges and balances the cosmic and eternal, with the earthly and raw. Something in me has been transformed and awakened/remembered forever. I pray that this rite of womanhood should be experienced by every sister. This is the wisdom that should be passed down generations of women in ceremony. Always. Thank you.
