Magdalena is not a woman, mother or whore.
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.
It is a principle that vibrates through us as grief, joy and rage- the ecstatic expression of incarnational experience pulsating us into animated LIFE.
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 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. The marriage of spirit and matter LIVED now, on this planet, inside these bodies and in harmony with all kingdoms.
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 failed love.
It is the soothing whispers of forgiveness before it even began.
Magdalena is the stillness between all movement, the interval before reality flashes forth. It is the moment of choice as LIFE enters as a seed of vastness and is kneaded into form by our own hands.
It is the event horizon between expansion and contraction and the power of this moment suspended in time.
It is the surrender to the principle of grace and love with a fierce will that extends in all directions. It is the willingness to walk around with our hearts on the outside of our bodies and for the nakedness of our surrender to bleed freely.
Magdalena is the knitting together of our trembling child and cosmic soul as the ONE rose.
It is the embrace of our most intimate experience.
———————————————————————————————————
Magdalena is a six day journey into the heart of the feminine mysteries through the initiations of LIFE and the ancient rituals that open the doors to this remembering.
Through the doorway of a surrendered heart we enter the temple of Magdalena, in devotion to all life, as love.
Together We will create a sacred and potent temple life with daily rituals, practices, and earth magic.
We will live and dance between the veils.
Over the six days we will explore some the following teachings;
~ The mysteries of life, death and blood.
~ The psychic arts - divination,
dreaming and intuition.
~ Sacred ritual and temple arts.
~ Erotic wisdom, sexual activation and magnetism.
~ Living in alignment with the elements and deepening connections with the devic kingdoms.
~ Working with archetypal magic, stepping through and beyond the veils.
~ Embodiment medicine; harnessing life force, listening to the voice of the body, the alchemy of sensuality and pleasure.
~ The heart as a magical tool, sacred heart wisdom.
~ The feminine shadow and shamanic projection.
~ Masculine/ Feminine integration as Priestess.
This is not a training of acquisition but an initiation into the core of LIFE through the veils of Magdalena and the mysteries of her temple.
