Morning & Afternoon: Grounding, Rest & Integration
This day is gently held for grounding into the energy of the South of France. You will have space to rest, settle into your surroundings, and begin to attune to the sacred land that holds the next part of our pilgrimage.

This is a day for:
• Grounding practices
• Nourishment and embodiment
• Quiet reflection and preparation for what is to come

Evening: Sunset Opening Ceremony
As the sun begins to set, we will gather to open our time in France with ritual, prayer, and presence. Through guided meditation, embodied movement, and intention setting, we will honour the Magdalene lineage and call in the blessings for the next stage of our sacred path.

Today we enter into deep communion with the waters and wild essence of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a place woven with legends of Mary Magdalene and the sacred feminine.

Morning: Water Blessing & Sea Ritual
We will gather by the Mediterranean Sea for an embodied water ritual—to cleanse, activate, and open our hearts and wombs to the next layer of remembrance. Through movement, song, prayer, and touch, we honour the fluid wisdom of the Magdalene and the healing tides of the Divine Mother.

Afternoon: Integration & Rest
Time for nourishment, journaling, and soft integration of the morning’s waters.

Evening: Horseback Ride at Sunset
As golden light blesses the Camargue landscape, we will embark on a sacred horseback journey across the beach—a symbolic return to wild innocence, sovereignty, and inner freedom.
This is a moment to ride with Magdalene, the wind, and the whispers of the land—to feel yourself fully alive and carried by the Earth’s sacred rhythm.

Morning: Visit to the Church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
We begin the day by entering the Church of the Saintes Maries, home to the sacred crypt of Saint Sarah-la-Kali—beloved patron of the Roma people and revered as a powerful Black Madonna.
Some traditions speak of Sarah as the daughter of Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, a carrier of their divine lineage. In the candlelit depths of her sacntuary, we will light our own flames, offer prayers, and connect with her ancestral presence.

We’ll also visit the Chapel of Saint Michael, tuning into the energies of protection, guidance, and divine union.

Afternoon: Spacious Time in Town
The afternoon invites you into gentle exploration—a time to stroll the quaint streets of this seaside town, visit sacred spots, or simply rest. There will be time for journaling, visiting the sea, or absorbing the vibration of this holy land.

Morning: Nature Walk through the Camargue Reserve
We begin the day with a gentle walk through the wild beauty of the Camargue National Park, a landscape where flamingos, wild horses, and sacred stillness meet.
This is a moment to ground and integrate, to walk in silence, listen to the whispers of nature, and honour the threshold we are crossing—from the waters of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer to the mountains of Sainte-Baume.

Midday: Pilgrimage Journey to Sainte-Baume
After our walk and time for rest, we embark on our next sacred leg of the pilgrimage—traveling inland to the forested mountains of Sainte-Baume, where Mary Magdalene is said to have spent her final years in prayer, solitude, and divine communion.

This shift in landscape marks a deepening of our initiatory path—from the external into the inner sanctum, where silence and soul remembrance await.

Climbing the ancient pilgrim’s path through the forest of Sainte-Baume, we journey with intention and reverence, walking the footsteps of seekers and mystics who have come here for centuries.

At the summit, we enter the Grotto-Chapel carved into the mountain, a space where silence holds memory, and the veil between worlds feels especially thin.

Here, we will:

• Sit in stillness and prayer

• Offer our presence, songs, and intentions

• Receive the transmission of Magdalene’s legacy of love, devotion, and embodied grace

This is a descent into the womb of the mountain, and an ascent into the sanctuary of the soul.

We are guided to one of the most hidden and potent Magdalene sites—the Magdalene Cave, also known as the Grotte aux Œufs (Cave of Eggs).

This sacred womb-like initiation cave, nestled deep in nature, is an ancient feminine portal of fertility, mystery, and rebirth, intimately connected with the Magdalene lineage and the Earth’s wisdom.

Here, we will enter into a final ceremonial space to:

• Honour the mystery of Magdalene’s deeper teachings

• Receive initiations

• Anchor the full cycle of our pilgrimage through ritual and embodied presence

This is a place of surrender and transformation, where we lay down what no longer serves and open to what wants to be birthed through us.

Closing Ceremony

We gather one last time to share, honour, and celebrate the path we have walked together—carrying the codes, the memories, and the deep inner shifts into the next chapter of our lives.

This is not an ending, but a beginning—a return to the world, more whole, more rooted, more radiant.

We will end our pilgrimage with a morning cacao in gratitude with the land and all the blessings received throughout our journey.

On our way back to Marseilles, we will make a final stop at the Basilica of Saint Maximin where the skull of who is believed to belong to Mary Magdalene is revered as a sacred relic.
