A transformative journey into the living wisdom of Mary Magdalene, designed not just to inform you, but to change you.
Her Truth Is Your Awakening
A Two-Part Spiritual & Historical Immersion into the Real Mary Magdalene
This is not devotional material nor is it speculative mythology. It is grounded, textual, historical work guided by decades of research, travel, teaching, and lived relationship with Mary’s story. It is an invitation to slow down, look carefully, and allow the evidence to speak for itself.
Over the years, this work has taken shape through pilgrimages across France and Israel, through retreats held in places where Mary was honored quietly long before she was discussed openly, through study in archives and libraries where questions about her role were once considered dangerous. Everywhere the same pattern appeared. People felt her presence deeply, yet had never been given the tools to understand her clearly.
These cohorts were created to change that.
A Living Transmission of Magdalene Wisdom
These images are from my research at Magdalen College, Oxford.
What you’re seeing is a foundational medieval manuscript: The Life of Mary Magdalene and Her Sister Martha. Dating back to the 1400s, this text has been pivotal—not just in my research, but in shaping my life’s work.
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.
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.
Access begins upon purchase.
Here, we move beyond the empty tomb and into the decades of Magdalene’s life that reshaped history — the years that Christianity quietly erased.
Cohort Two continues the story after the resurrection, following Mary Magdalene from revelation into legacy. This 12-week journey explores what happens when a woman entrusted with the first proclamation carries that truth into the world.
Rather than ending at the empty tomb, this work traces how Mary becomes a living presence, gathering, teaching, healing, and shaping early spiritual communities.
The course follows the traditions that preserve her movements across land and sea, particularly in Provence and the wider Mediterranean world, approaching these accounts with care, discernment, and historical sensitivity.
Relationships with figures such as Joseph of Arimathea, Lazarus, Martha, and others are examined as part of a broader network of transmission, revealing how Mary’s authority continued to unfold beyond the gospels through memory, devotion, and practice.
Drawing from canonical, Gnostic, and early spiritual texts, the course explores the core themes of her proclamation, including mercy, inner authority, union, and embodied spiritual practice. The final arc considers how her legacy echoes through later movements and suppressed traditions, not as a forced lineage, but as a shared spiritual current that resurfaces across time.
This cohort is for those who feel called not only to understand Mary Magdalene’s story, but to sit with its implications. It is work about continuity, responsibility, and transmission, about what remains unfinished and how an ancient memory continues to live in the present.
