The Legacy of Mary Magdalene

According to Provençal tradition, Mary Magdalene traveled to southern France around 40–44 AD.
It is believed that she spent her final years in contemplation in a cave in the Sainte-Baume mountains and is buried in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, where her relics are preserved.

On the paths of Magdalene

We will follow in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene through Provence on a journey that combines spirituality, beauty, and sensory pleasure. We will visit the sacred grotto of Sainte-Baume and the Basilica of Saint-Maximin, places of profound devotion and mystery, while also opening ourselves to the charms of the region with tastings of Provençal rosé, local aperitifs, and breathtaking landscapes around the Sainte-Victoire mountain.

An intimate and authentic experience, where the sacred meets the celebration of life.

The Activation of Light

In a moment of silence and presence, we will ignite our inner light through a sacred awakening of intention, healing, and rebirth. Each woman will be invited to release what no longer serves her, remember her essence, and make room for a new version of herself—freer, more luminous, and aligned with her truth.

The Awakening of the Inner Fire

In this sacred and welcoming setting, each woman will be invited to rekindle her inner fire. After awakening her dormant strength and undergoing a profound process of transformation, silence will become beauty and presence. The woman who has always been there will then be reborn—whole, luminous, powerful, and a warrior.

The Sacred Cave

The cave where Mary Magdalene lived in retreat for years, surrendered to silence, devotion, and profound communion with the sacred. This will be the most intense and transformative point of our encounter—a space for recollection, introspection, and inner listening. Among ancient stones and the vibrant energy of the mountain, each woman will be invited to release old burdens, reconnect with her essence, and open herself to a true rebirth.
