About this trip

REBIRTH is a seven-day Magdalene pilgrimage through the sacred lands of Sainte-Baume in Southern France.

Together, we will walk ancient pilgrimage paths, journey into the sacred caves of eggs of Mary Magdalene, gather in ceremony, and immerse ourselves in the living presence of the land.

Guided by somatic womb work, voice activation, sacred sound, and devotional practice, we will explore what is ready to be remembered, released, and reborn.

Held within an intimate circle of women, this pilgrimage is an invitation to reclaim the wisdom of the womb, awaken the truth of your voice, and experience the profound medicine of sisterhood, where each woman is witnessed, supported, and lovingly initiated into her next season of becoming.

Join us for this sacred journey of remembrance, devotion, and rebirth. 🌹

FAQ

Do I need to have a relationship with Mary Magdalene to attend?

No. While the pilgrimage is inspired by the Magdalene lineage, women from all spiritual backgrounds are welcome. An open heart and a willingness to explore are all that is required.

How physically demanding is the pilgrimage?

The trail to the Cave of Mary Magdalene is approximately a 45–60 minute hike each way over uneven, rocky terrain with a moderate elevation gain. Participants should feel comfortable walking several miles and navigating natural trails.

Participants should feel comfortable hiking on uneven mountain terrain and entering natural cave environments, which may be dark, damp, slippery, uneven, or require light climbing or careful footing. This pilgrimage is best suited for women with moderate mobility, balance, and comfort spending extended time outdoors.

Will there be free time?

Yes. While our days will be full, there will also be time for rest, reflection, journaling, and simply being with the land. You are also always welcome to skip any activities if you are needing more rest and downtime.

Do I need experience with voice work or singing?

Not at all. This pilgrimage is about authentic expression rather than musical performance. No previous experience with singing, meditation, or somatic work is necessary.

Where will we stay?

We will stay together in a beautiful private villa in Provence. This is a shared home—not a retreat center—which allows us to cultivate a warm, intimate atmosphere throughout the week.

Are bathrooms shared?

Most likely, yes. Depending on the final villa, bathrooms may be shared among guests.

What meals are included?

Your pilgrimage includes six breakfasts, five pilgrim's lunches, and five shared dinners. One dinner in town is intentionally left open so you can enjoy the local restaurants at your own expense.

Do I need to rent a car?

No. Transportation throughout the pilgrimage to all scheduled group activities is included. Participants are responsible only for arranging their travel to and from France and the villa.

Which airport should I fly into?

We recommend flying into Marseille Provence Airport. Additional travel information will be provided after registration.

When should I book my airfare?

We recommend waiting until the minimum enrollment has been officially confirmed. If you choose to book before confirmation, please purchase a refundable ticket and/or travel insurance with trip cancellation coverage.

What should I pack?

A detailed packing guide will be provided before the pilgrimage. In general, plan for comfortable hiking shoes, layered clothing, a journal, a reusable water bottle, and anything that helps you feel supported in ceremony and nature.

Our Group Agreements

To create a safe, supportive, and deeply nourishing container for everyone, we ask each participant to arrive with a willingness to honor the following agreements:

✧ We honor one another's stories with confidentiality, compassion, and without judgment.

✧ We practice deep listening and speak from our own lived experience rather than offering unsolicited advice.

✧ We respect each woman's unique journey, allowing space for different beliefs, emotions, and ways of processing.

✧ We participate with presence, curiosity, and personal responsibility while also honoring our own boundaries and capacity.

✧ We care for one another, our shared home, and the sacred lands we are privileged to walk upon.

✧ We embrace simplicity, flexibility, and the understanding that pilgrimage often unfolds in unexpected ways.

✧ We remember that we are not simply visiting these sacred places—we are entering them with reverence, humility, and devotion.

Together, we co-create a circle where each woman is welcomed, witnessed, and supported as she remembers the truth of who she is.
