THE ARC OF THE YEAR
A Year of Mary Magdalene is a journey structured as a four-part arc that follows the true unfolding of Magdalene’s legacy:
- Mary as apostle, teacher, priestess, and beloved partner, not as metaphor, but as historical and spiritual reality.
- What she did after the Resurrection — and how she changed the world
- What she taught — and how that wisdom survived in hidden texts
- Who carried her legacy — and how it lived on through women
Each level stands on its own.
Together, they form the most complete Magdalene transmission ever offered, anywhere.
LEVEL ONE
THE REAL MARY MAGDALENE
(12 WEEKS)
A twelve-week immersion into the life of Mary Magdalene as it actually unfolded, rooted in historical, textual, and spiritual sources that have long been overlooked or deliberately softened.
IMMEDIATE ACCCESS UPON ENROLLMENT
This work is the result of more than 30 years of research, pilgrimage, and study drawn from Kathleen’s private archive of sacred texts, multilingual translations, and lived experience across four continents.
It is not a symbolic retelling or a modern reinterpretation. It is a careful restoration of a woman whose role shaped the foundations of Christianity and whose authority was systematically diminished.
Over the course of this journey, participants explore Mary Magdalene’s life in the Holy Land from her origins through the resurrection. The curriculum examines her lineage, family, and spiritual formation, her role within Jesus’ ministry beyond familiar narratives, and the deeper meaning behind passages that have been misunderstood for centuries.
This work reveals Mary as apostle, teacher, priestess, and beloved partner, not as metaphor, but as historical and spiritual reality.
This is a framework that integrates mysticism, embodiment, and sacred union, inviting participants into a lived understanding of Mary Magdalene’s wisdom rather than a purely intellectual one.
This is a soul-level pilgrimage undertaken from home, designed to awaken recognition, restore confidence in her true identity, and support the integration of her teachings into one’s own spiritual path and leadership.
Even for those deeply familiar with Magdalene scholarship, this material is unlike anything publicly available, drawn from unpublished sources and decades of firsthand study. This is not simply a course. It is a reclamation. And in reclaiming her story, something essential within us begins to come back into focus as well.
LEVEL TWO
THE REAL MARY MAGDALENE
(12 WEEKS)
From Resurrection, to France, to World-Changing Leader
IMMEDIATE ACCCESS UPON ENROLLMENT
Here, we move beyond the empty tomb and into the decades of Magdalene’s life that reshaped history — the years that Christianity quietly erased.
This is where we finally understand how Mary Magdalene changed the world, not symbolically, but through:
- teaching
- travel
- community formation
- and spiritual transmission across the Mediterranean and into Europe
Cohort Two restores Magdalene as a leader in Western civilization whose post-Resurrection work made Christianity possible — and whose influence was later minimized precisely because of its power.
This material is deeply proprietary, based on 30 years of on-the-ground research in France, and exists nowhere else in ANY form.
This is the foundation of all true understanding of the impact of Mary Magdalene on history and spirituality.
LEVEL THREE:
THE GNOSTIC MAGDALENE
(12 WEEKS)
The Teacher Revealed in Hidden and Suppressed Texts
Launch: July 22 (Feast Day of Mary Magdalene)
Once Magdalene’s historical mission is restored, we move inward, into her teaching voice.
Cohort Three reveals Mary Magdalene as the primary bearer of post-Resurrection wisdom within the Gnostic tradition, where her authority is explicit, textual, and undeniable. She IS the Apostle TO the Apostles and the Apostle OF the Apostles.
This cohort offers a full, rigorous exploration of:
- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
- The Gospel of Philip
- Pistis Sophia, where Mary is the dominant interlocutor with the risen Jesus
- Additional Gnostic and related texts
- Recently discovered, restored, or re-evaluated material reshaping Magdalene scholarship
Here we encounter Magdalene not as a marginal disciple, but as:
- teacher of inner ascent
- interpreter of revelation
- mediator of the Treasury of Light
- and spiritual authority whose wisdom challenged early patriarchal structures
This phase reveals what she taught, why it was dangerous enough to suppress, and why it matters to our spiritual evolution now more than ever.
LEVEL FOUR:
WOMEN OF THE MAGDALENE LINE
(6 WEEKS)
The Daughters Who Carried the Flame
Launch: November 11 (11/11)
The final phase traces how Magdalene’s legacy survived.
Not abstractly. Not symbolically. But through courageous and devoted women.
Cohort Four follows the Magdalene current as it moved through European history, carried by queens, mystics, visionaries, and so-called heretics who embodied her teaching at great personal cost.
This cohort restores the feminine lineage of Western spirituality, including:
- The hidden daughters and granddaughters of Magdalene in history and legend
- Clothilde, Queen of France
- Saint Germaine of Pibrac
- Matilda of Canossa
- Marguerite Porete
- Margaret of Anjou
- and others who preserved the Light when it could not be spoken openly
This phase shows how Magdalene’s teaching lived on through women who changed the face of Europe and beyond.
It includes TWO LIVE Calls with Kathleen.
