Experiencing the Feminine Mystic Within
 
Mary Magdalene Tour – Southern France, August 2017
 
With Dr. Romana Ercegović, Kim Seppälä and Andreja Cepuš

Invitation


This will be an opportunity to reconnect with forgotten parts of ourselves in the safe space of sisterhood. Many of us have been part of historical events in this land, where we have left our energy hidden for later times when it would be safe again to speak our truth freely. This time is now. It is safe now to embody and radiate our true crystalline essence and to be sensually, authentically free in our bodies and hearts.
 
Mary Magdalene is a historical person as well as an archetype of the feminine mystic. She was an embodiment of Love, teaching hundreds of women about self-love. Through the embodiment of love – on all levels, emotional spiritual and sexual – she returned to her inner wholeness or holiness. On this tour, each participant has the opportunity to discover who their inner mystic is, what this archetype means for you; and what does it mean to be a mystic in a woman’s body?

Activities
 
Activities will include inner journeys (dreamwalks, meditations), historical sightings, sharing circles (to give space for healing conversations), channelings of Mary Magdalene and other masters, expressive creativity (dance, storytelling, toning), and connecting with our inner nature through the external nature (as we visit beautiful fountains, trail the woods and sit on mountain tops). Most of these activities are guided and experienced with the group but there’s also the opportunity for guided individual work (to facilitate your reconnection with the inner mystic) for those who choose. In addition there will be space for integration and moments of silence to help connect with the intuition. We encourage everyone to keep a journal throughout the tour.

As we dive into the history of South France and especially our inner stories, we will explore the following themes

  • The Sisterhood of the Rose
  • The mystery schools of Isis
  • Mary Magdalene’s teachings
  • Self-love and sensuality
  • Releasing the wounds of love
  • Embodying our feminine mastery
  • Inviting new potentials into our lives
  • Sacred union and supportive relation of inner feminine and masculine

You are warmly welcome.
We warmly invite you to join a circle of women who have a passion to reconnect with the divine feminine wisdom within and to experience a transformative journey to our wholeness.  We will be traveling through the magical sites of Southern France where once Mary Magdalene and other women taught the mysteries of love and sovereignty – while opening up to the depths of our inner landscapes. Our intention for this multidimensional experience is to release any heavy attachments to personal and collective wounds caused by the suppression of the feminine mysteries. As we allow the dust of the past to lift to the surface of our consciousness and be swept free, each of us will discover personal treasures hidden within the soul.

Itinerary

This experience is for a small group of women, tailored and created in the moment. We will be travelling together in our private bus, accompanied by a travel guide as we visit the following sites:
 
Day 1   We will start the tour at Basilica of Saint-Maximin: an ancient monastery where the relics of Mary Magdalene are preserved.

Picture
Day 2   On the next day, a 1-hour drive and a walk through the nature takes us to the Grotto of Mary Magdalene. It is said that M. M. spent the last years of her life here.
On the evening of day 2, there is the option of visiting Aix en Provence, a charming town nearby.

On Day 3 we will drive about 2 hours to the seaside to visit Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the village where M.M. and her companions landed upon their arrival in France.
Picture
We will also visit the nearby Church of the Black Madonna of Sarah, which is also a temple site from Roman times, regarded as a holy place by Romans, Celts and gypsies. Afterwards we will drive through the nature reserve in the area.

Day 4   The next day brings us to Carcassonne, a medieval town known for its history of the Cathars and Templars. We will then visit the monastery Limoux to visit the black Madonna.

Day 5  On day 5 we will drive to the magical mountain Montsegur (see right) where we will connect to the supporting energy of nature and hold a ceremony to set our own history free.
Day 6  The next day we’ll see Rennes le Chateau, the historical village on top of a hill in the Pyrenees where many legends of the Holy Grail take place.

Day 7 We will finish our tour at Rennes le Bains, a sacred fountain where also the stone throne of Isis (estimated to be over 5,000 years old) can be found.

As the facilitators, the three of us will work in synchronicity and sisterhood to create a safe space for this experience. More about us:

Dr. Romana Ercegović has devoted her artistic, scientific and spiritual work to re-awakening, understanding and re-dignifying the wisdom and art of the Divine Feminine, as a principle of balance. As a playwright and director of her theater performances, she re-evaluates the role of ancient feminine myths and as a performer she embodies different qualities and archetypes from various cultures (such as Mary Magdalene, White Buffalo
Woman, Persephone, Demetra, Hecate...). She has traveled to many temples around the world and is deeply connected to the mysteries of the sacred feminine. Both in her research and workshops she uses an intuitive and multidimensional approach (for example in her doctoral thesis: The Greek Mysteries and their Influence on the Revitalization of Ritual in 20th and 21st Century -Theater). On this tour, she will hold the overview and guide the participants through the initiatory process of opening to the inner mystic.

Kim Seppälä
is a Finnish-German consciousness explorer, writer and a psychologist in training. She is an advocate of sovereign spirituality and believes that each of us has direct access to divine wisdom if we just have the courage to turn inwards and listen. She will be channeling M. M. and the Sisterhood of the Rose on this tour. After spending many lifetimes as a priestess of Isis, she has dedicated this lifetime to experiencing self-love and freedom. “For me this tour is about connecting with other masters and creating a safe space where each of us can reclaim and integrate the feminine aspect of the inner mystic. Remembering our timeless wisdom without getting caught up in the gravity of the past is much easier in the company like-hearted people and when we allow ourselves to enjoy the adventure with all our senses.”
Andreja Cepuš is a Social Artist and founder of Accelerator of Conscious Creation ENVIR – a field for connecting different people, perspectives and worlds for the purpose of awakening new creativity in the powerful space of togetherness. She is well recognized for her work in the field of empowering women and Women Leadership in Slovenia. She hosts women circles and facilitates workshops related to expressing our authentic feminine nature. As a longtime contemporary dancer she understands the importance of art as divine feminine principle. On this journey she will facilitate experiences to help us reawaken our sensual nature with all its layers, from subtle to physical. Through movement and connection with nature we will open the channels in our bodies to allow our sensual femininity to flow freely so that we can experience, embody and express it in our everyday lives.

Few testimonials for Romana and Kim's work

"I feel the main purpose of workshop that I attended was exactly what happened to me: finding my authentic self, not only to experience it during the workshop but to live it in life itself.” 
~ Mojca Krivec
“When I decided to attend the sacred theatre workshop, I didn’t really imagine what actually we would be doing there. But what has unfolded far exceeded my ideas about the flow of the workshop. I have to say, it touched the depth of my soul and it triggered big shifts and awakening within me. I have observed myself from then on and the transformation continues. This awakening has put many events in flow and all happened exactly as it should, in divine perfect timing; pure perfection that is possible only when you collaborate with a higher source, with the Universe itself. I am grateful for such intuitive facilitation and guidance. I could feel the whole nature and universe supporting her beautiful and pure intention which she used for creating this workshop. The soul-support that I received from my fellow sister-participants was so authentic, far removed from the masks of ‘who we are on outside’. The whole process was thus much lighter and faster. Of course, everybody needs to be prepared to go through their own process and ready to step out of their own boxes, to allow and let go, and be fully present in the moment. It is here where the creative part of us is being born.”
~ Mojca Krivec
» This week by the river Dragonja was one of the most beautiful weeks in my life and for sure the most magical and transformative one… With facilitator’s intuitive guidance and holding the space all the happenings somehow magically fell together into the bigger whole and I've returned home different than I came there. A huge inner breakthrough happened for me: Insights that I've been familiar with in my life, have now become alive in my life. I've been able to really experience them for real, taste them, see them, and embody them. Each of participants was unique but we managed to live through the experience together, united in harmony. Romana's subtle leading, openness and acceptance provided freedom and safety to each one of us. From all the differences there came the unique matrix of interrelated balance. We gifted each other with our insights, acceptance and support. I've realized that I've seen the world through black-white glasses and only now was able to put them down and see all the colours, nuances, gems and sparkling lights. It was a kind of awakening from a half-asleep state into the fullness of life. Coming back into my everyday life, I've realized that I can live this magic each and every moment and right here and right now. The days by Dragonja-river enriched my life as the most profound and beautiful moment in time and gave me the real-life experience I could not have received through any book, lecture or talk about personal growth.
