Mary MagdAlene Tour
April 2021
South of France
Are you a seeker of love, spirituality, personal growth and transformation?
Are you ready to be immersed in love, ancient wisdom and being deeply connected with sacred sites as we learn from the wisdom keepers of the land?
Imagine standing in the spot where it is believed Mary Magdalene preached from in the village of Rennes-le-Chateau where the mysteries of the Holy Grail and sacred geometry connect. You can smell the scent of frankincense and myrrh as your heart jumps with the excitement of being in this sacred place.
YOU wonder if this can be real?
You sigh with wonder and sense the energy of Mary Magdalene and all the ancient wisdom that surrounds you. All your senses are amplified, and your breath quickens. Tears of joy stream down your face as you feel deeply connected to the powerful energies of love.
In this moment your hard shells dissolve and your heart burst open, you feel so free.
You’re among soul family here and you know it. We travel among the sacred sites which help you transform the old energies you have carried around for far too long, the guilt, shame, and conditioned love patterns…. simply fall away.
The Transformational Journey into Love in France is the perfect way to spend 9 days!
Endless possibilities! By the end of this journey…..
You feel powerful, soul connected and safe to love yourself and everyone in your life. Without judgment or conditions because you have a new understanding of the power of LOVE.
Your soul leads the way and overpowers doubt, as the new you exudes super confidence in your relationships at home and work and all because you immerse yourself in love. A love affair in faraway lands with ancient truths and a deep connection with your own soul changes your DNA and you feel safe in your new found confidence.
You deepen your intuition by drawing on the powers of ancient lands. By surrounding yourself with like-hearted people who teach you other intuitive methods.
You revel in the sacredness of meeting soul family and forming powerful, supportive relationships to help propel your life and business forward.

Can you say MEGALITH?
The Dolmen is undoubtedly the finest megalithic monument of the Aude. Situated on a hill named the Moural de Fados, it is called the Fairy Dolmen.
Then, we will visit AIGNE, the tiny one thousand-year-old “snail village”, which was built, consciously and purposefully, in a spiral. We will tune into and appreciate its unique energies.
In the afternoon we are off to MINERVE, place where almost 200 Cathar leaders were burned in 1210 as heretics by the Catholic Church for refusing to recant their truth, undoubtedly a place of peace now.
Overnight: Hotel in Pezenas

Today we explore the energies of the land as we visit Les Saintes Maries de la Mer, crossing the very specific landscape of Camargue with salted marshes, white farms, wild horses and red flamingoes. This is where lie the relics of Saints Mary Jacobe and Mary Salome and their servant, Sarah, the Black Madonna. The church of Saintes Marie de la Mer welcomes every year the community of Gypsies who come to pay tribute to Sara, their patron saint.
In the afternoon we walk the cityscape of ARLES: This city has a rich past: the former settlement of the Roman dates back from 46BC. A walking tour to the Antic Theatre and the Roman Amphitheatre (outside only) will show you the power and richness of the city in these times. Arles is also the city elected by the painter Van Gogh and we’ll focus the tour on his energy and works as we stroll through the city.
