Join us on an expansive journey for Men and Women (limited to 14 participants) to experience the many mystical places in southern France where our early ancestors marked the connection points between the Earth and the Cosmos. As the Moon passes to the Galactic Edge and then through the Galactic Core it activates hidden knowledge – not only stored in these ancient sites – but within ourselves - to be released with a more magical, limitless understanding of our lives and purpose.
We will weave a path of exploration from the ancient standing stones, temples and caves dedicated to Isis and Mary Magdalene, to mountaintop castle-fortresses once inhabited by the Cathars and Knights Templar. We will visit churches that long ago were placed on grid lines connecting early Egyptian Cosmological Myths to the earth. We will visit a Black Madonna discovered hundreds of years ago by a farmer tilling his field with his oxen. The statue kept mysteriously reappearing in the same place until a church was finally built to house her there. We will visit sacred springs and wells dedicated to Magdalene and Isis, once honored by priestesses who lived there and swim in the purifying waters of the Mediterranean when we visit Les Saintes Maries de la Mers, where Magdalene first arrived in France from the Holy Land. We will experience the holy waters of Lourdes, where Mother Mary first appeared to Bernadette, also marking an unmistakable intergalactic doorway.
We will explore Rennes Le Chateau, the mysterious hilltop village with views of mountains and ancient sites that mark a natural pentacle in a landscape temple here. This village has been a strategic place of power for Romans, Visigoths, Merovingians and was once an early temple site dedicated to Isis. Unraveling the story of the famous coded documents discovered by the Abbe Sauniere, while he was renovating the Rennes Le Chateau church, present many questions. When he traveled to Paris and returned with a large sum of money, it is possible that he did uncover a treasure more important than any known by the Vatican. He then built the Tour Magdala and finished renovating the Church, both of which he dedicated to Mary Magdalene.
Our journey intention will focus on understanding the events happening in the “Great Above” and how they relate to the “Great Below”, our Earth-based reality. How the celestial bodies of the planets and constellations relate influencing the monthly zodiac signs on the Earth and within ourselves, will be enhanced when the Moon and Mars meet at the Galactic Edge, bringing forth a healthy expression of the masculine principal. Then the Moon meets with Venus, representing the feminine principal as she moves through the first gate of initiation associated with the seventh chakra – also conjunct the Heart of the Lion - Regulus, giving us easy access to the Hall of Records. Several very important astrological alignments will give us an opportunity to identify and complete certain aspects of our life experience and redirect our attention toward self- empowerment. Experiencing a three-day lunar standstill in this magical land, invites us to remember and align with our source. If not now…..when?
Each of the places on our journey is meant for individual activations, designed to bring balance, inspiration, inner wisdom and heart opening. The energy of the journey will respond to the individual and group intention. We will co-create ceremony in various sites when inspired to do so for more intimate connections.
