Welcome!
This Pilgrimage combines visits to powerful sacred sites in the Cathar region in the South of France with teachings, inner process work and rituals. We will dive deep into inner and outer landscapes to connect with the essence of Mary Magdalene and the transformative power of love and sacred union.
Healing our masculine and feminine wounds
This pilgrimage to Mary Magdalene offers you a safe and transformative space where you can heal feminine wounds and clear distorted masculine imprints, both personal and collective. Removing these obstacles, you make space again for the pure/divine feminine and masculine energies, your original essence. You prepare yourself for sacred union: the optimal interaction between the masculine and feminine, both within yourself as in your relationships with your beloved(s) and the world.
Our guide Mary Magdalene
There is no better and more loving guide for this “Great Work” than Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene’s role in the quest for sacred union extends beyond her historical portrayal in biblical texts. She is revered as a spiritual guide who helps individuals navigate their own inner landscapes, integrating the feminine and masculine aspects of their being. Through her example of perseverance, compassion, and spiritual insight, she inspires seekers to embrace their own inner union and to cultivate balance and harmony in their lives.
Inner alchemy
The teachings associated with Mary Magdalene and sacred union emphasize the importance of inner alchemy and self-discovery. By delving deep into the psyche and embracing all aspects of the self, you can awaken to your true essence and experience the transformative power of sacred union. This journey involves healing past wounds, releasing limiting beliefs, and opening your womb/hara and heart to the infinite possibilities of divine love.
Energetic and intuitive
Our healing work is energetic and intuitive. The modalities we work with are: ancient mystery teachings, energetic healing, guided meditation, shamanic journeying, ritual, dance, song and mantra. This work does not involve sexual touch and no nakedness.
Ancient wisdom
We embark on a profound healing quest inspired by modern research and ancient wisdom traditions such as gnostic, Taoist and Egyptian alchemy, shamanism and Goddess tradition.
Pilgrimage to sacred sites
Throughout the retreat, we will visit sacred sites steeped in the legends of Mary Magdalene, places where her presence is believed to have left an indelible mark, often places where the legacy of the Cathars and the Templars is very strong too. These locations, charged with centuries of enigma and mystique, serve as powerful conduits for our personal work and spiritual reflection.
Join us
Join us on this unforgettable journey, where ancient legends come to life, and the teachings of Mary Magdalene guide you on a path of deep spiritual awakening and profound inner transformation.
The Cathar region in the South of France is stunning: wild nature, ancient thermal baths, lots of history and herstory, legends and myths, castles, churches, beautiful people, amazing food…
Limoux lies half an hour below Carcassonne in France. Carcasonne airport is at 30min by car and Toulouse airport 1.5h driving. Limoux has a train station. We provide transport to and from the airport.
Villa Sainte Marie, where you will be lodged, is an exceptional and healing place that used to belong to the nuns of Cluny and afterwards to a pioneer in permaculture. We sleep in the main house behind cute blue shutters, or in wooden houses and glamping tents between the fruit trees on the land. We do the process work in the beautiful temple tent under the protection of a female taxus tree.
Hello, my name is Mieke Anthuenis (1972). I am a womb awakening teacher, shamanic womb healer and priestess, menstrual mentor and yoni steam facilitator. My life is dedicated to birthing the new earth and bringing back ancient feminine wisdom, healing arts and spirituality. Since 2005, I have been walking a shamanic path with strong influence from my time in Peru and Colombia and the teachers I met there. I am trained in core shamanism (Michael Harner) and womb shamanism (Fountain of Life, Sanctuary of Sofia and Sacred Woman Awakening). Since 2018, I work as a Moon Mother (level 3) and Vaginal Steam facilitator (Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute). With a background in shiatsu and tuina, I seek to bring in the rich and old eastern view on womxn’s well-being. In my retreats and 1-on-1 sessions, I blend these modalities together, based on the needs of the client, to facilitate a deep and safe space for healing and transformation. I work with persons in all seasons of their life, with or without a womb, with or without a period. I am co-author of the best-selling book Return To the Motherworld and run retreats and pilgrimages in the legendary Cathar region in the South of France.
I am truly honored to connect with you.
