READING LIST
There are so many beautiful, brilliant, and inspiring books written about Mary Magdalene’s life and teachings. Here are a few of our favorites. While these books are wonderful, please know that it is not necessary to read all (or any) of them. As Magdalene taught, gathering information through direct experience and inner gnosis is far more authentic and powerful than seeking knowledge outside ourselves.
SACRED ART JOURNALING
Each of you will receive a gorgeous Sacred Art Journaling kit filled with everything you’ll need to nourish your art journaling practice. Please bring your art kit with you each day. We’ll weave in relaxed time to spark your creativity, awaken your inner vision, and connect with spirit. We’ll each create beautiful, hand-crafted journals that hold the sacred energy and magical memories of our mystical pilgrimage.
SACRED SONGS PDF
We are blessed to have Katrina Joy Young as our angelic Sacred Songstress. Katrina is a gifted vocalist and light language channel, ordained scent priestess, healer, and intuitive. Throughout our pilgrimage, she will guide us to connect to our innate divinity through the power of song. She will also infuse our sacred ceremonies with the sweet and powerful blessing of music. Please print out and bring with you the beautiful song packet below.
Thank you for answering the call of your holy heart?
