About the event
This trip is to Saint-Maximin la Sainte-Baume, France where we have been called to the feet of Mary Magdalene, who is believed to have settled there after the death of her beloved Jesus.
In the heart of the Sainte Baume Mountain is the cave where Mary lived for the last 33 years of her life. It is a mystical, sanctuary maintained by the Dominican monks. This offers a unique spiritual experience and an opportunity to come closer to the divine energy of Mary that was the wind beneath the wings of Jesus.
It is through this experience and others included in the retreat that you will come to feel the softening and flowering of your own heart. Your ability to love unconditionally will be revealed to you. The heart is the marriage space between the lower triangle, first 3 chakras, which are concerned with our physical life, our body, the upper triangle is composed of our spiritual chakras, our connection to the divine.
Our invitation to live balanced awakened lives calls us into the heart, into communion. Living from the heart requires us to get comfortable with staying open when we feel vulnerable in our humanness, it asks us to trust the magnificence of the deep red rose, the embodiment of divine love and beauty. We are tempted so often to close our heart flower, we invite you on this sacred travel experience to be willing to allow your heart to bloom, blossom, and flourish.
