Magdalena Turkey
Jun
19
to 24 Jun

Magdalena Turkey

Magdalena is a six-day journey into the deep mysteries of the feminine for women and female bodies. Born from a longing to restore the ancient initiations of the feminine into everyday life, this path seeks to reweave the wisdom teachings of the priestess into the fabric of our communities and homes, accessible to all women.

It 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 initiation. These are the moments that shape us deeply, moments that demand ritual, ceremony, and the guidance of those who have walked this path before us.

On this journey, we will reconnect with our first blood, honoring 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 open the door to the shadow of the feminine, inviting the energies that have long imprisoned us to be released.

We welcome the deity of death into our lives, seeking the teachings of birth, death, and rebirth 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 will delve into our oracular gifts, awakening our intuitive wisdom and psychic channels. 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.

"My week of journeying with Magdalena was one of deep surrender and catharsis for the control of my feminine. The shackles by which I keep myself ‘correct’ are slowly disintegrating.
I danced, I moved and prayed at the altar of life and love itself. I felt it all, leaning into the coven where nothing less than truth and love is held. I grieved the parts of me I have cast out for so long and held hands with the soul I am proud to house."

Olivia, New Zealand


Magdalena is a principle of LIFE that anchors in the core of the heart and extends downwards to the smallest molecule and upwards to the expanse of cosmos.

Magdalena is the capacity to hold all existence within the core of the heart without faltering; a staunch determination to not fall into the allurement of duality, polarity or separation.

Magdalena is the bridge to all worlds, all kingdoms, all beings through the remembering of our shared LIFE and its inherent sacredness.

Magdalena is both the serpent and the sword.

It is the column of light that holds our spine erect with the remembering of who we are and where our life is sourced.
It is the exuberant vibration of colour, texture and tone dancing around this column.

A humming, throbbing, pulsing stream of living electricity relating with all worlds.

From crown to base
from sun to earth.

Magdalena is the marriage of Christ and Mary inside us, It is our own crucifixion, resurrection AND descension.

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

That we are this love.

(Winter Jade Icely)

THE VENUE

For those looking for a peaceful haven, Yenice Vadi is located within a quiet Turkish valley, providing the perfect escape offering superb accommodation nestled amongst trees and mountains with easy access to the coast.

The valley is surrounded by an abundance of trees including pine, almond, olives and fruit trees, all of which attract a wonderful range of wildlife including birds, boars, squirrels, hares, tortoises and goats.

Hiding away in the valley gives everyone a wonderful opportunity to experience nature at its best. Waking up to the sound of bird song, peaceful evenings on the verandas and exploring the amazing countryside whether on foot or by car provide the perfect sanctuary.

The concept of Yenice Vadi grew from a love of traditional Turkish village life and the desire to sustain our natural environment.

Yenice Vadi has come to reality in a secluded valley, surrounded by tree-covered mountains, with accommodation built using traditional local materials, to include a treehouse, stone cottages, and a log cabin, each in plenty of space, well-furnished and fully equipped.

Dalaman and Bodrum airports are both approximately a 1 hour 20 minute transfer.

A Day With The Mystical Feminine
Dec
10

A Day With The Mystical Feminine

It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again “invisibly,” inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

Winter Jade Icely returns to Melbourne after two years to bring A day with the Mystical Feminine.

The feminine in essence is mystical
She calls forth the unseen life behind outer forms
and rests in the dark stillness of the liminal.
Her gaze reveals worlds of magic, wonder and beauty.

A day with the Mystical Feminine is an invitation for those in female bodies to enter into and unfold your inherent magic and intuition. To carve out a day in your outer formed life for the inner mystical worlds of the feminine.

We will explore the following doorways into these worlds

.......................................

Oracular wisdom: unfolding psychic pathways of intuition
Embodied magic: the body as a vehicle of ecstatic conjuring
Vibrational magic: potion making and spell crafting
Erotic magic: opening the realms of the liminal through eros
Heart magic: collective healing of keening/ the eros of the heart

and of course this is just a guide, when working wth the mystical feminine we listen to the subtle arising of life in each moment.

DETAILS of the day

10am- 4pm
Cost - $180 individual tickets
$160 dual tickets (bring a friend)
