A private Magdalene pilgrimage for established women and femme-identifying leaders devoted to embodied spiritual authority to come together and be filled.
You lead.
You guide.
You hold space.
You build communities.
You carry vision.
Here, you are not responsible for the room.
You are here to gather with women who carry their own authority.
No hierarchy.
No performance.
Sovereign women meeting as equals.
Limited single and double occupancy rooms available for this life-changing retreat. Will you answer the call?
September 3rd - 10th, 2026

This pilgrimage is for women, trans women, and femme-presenting leaders who feel called into devotion to the feminine.
This is a space committed to inclusivity, racial equity, and gender diversity.
We gather in an intimate circle of twenty.
Each established in her leadership.
Each carrying depth.
The land is chosen with care.
The experience guided with intention.
The circle held with reverence.
Not a conference.
Not a large retreat.
A devotional container where everyone is seen, known, and met.

Hi, I'm Melisa
For almost a decade, my work has centered on devotion to the feminine path, to intimacy, and to embodied spiritual leadership.
For eight years, I’ve mentored women and couples in intimacy and relational depth.
For the past three, I’ve guided devoted leaders through the sacred process of becoming published authors, helping their voices take form in the world.
My work lives at the intersection of embodiment, full self-expression, and lineage.
Alongside all of that, I’ve been in relationship with the Magdalene.
She has been a mirror.
A reflection of devotion to self.
A reflection of feminine sovereignty.
A reflection of embodied spiritual authority.
This pilgrimage to France will be my first time walking her physical lands.
This is about walking toward something that has been alive in me for years, and inviting those who feel that same resonance to come.
Leaders who carry their own devotion.
Leaders who understand inner pilgrimage.
Leaders who are ready to meet the land, and themselves, in a deeper way.
I created this pilgrimage to support leaders like you in choosing yourself, deliberately and unapologetically, for a week of luxury, devotion, and deep replenishment in France.
If something in you recognizes this invitation, you already know how to listen and you've already been called.
With love,
Melisa

You are the one who holds everyone else and you know the value of carving spaces where YOU can be held.

… and you know that pleasure is the strategy, not just the reward.

…your outer success is undeniable, and your soul is craving deep nourishment.

You might be here because your body remembers what your mind cannot explain…
and the land is calling you back.
An 8-day sacred pleasure pilgrimage through the mystical sites of southern France.
We walk with Mary Magdalene and the ancient divine feminine.
Through presence, community, and pleasure as medicine, we reclaim what is wild and awaken the wisdom that already lives in our bodies.
This journey is for soul-led women ready to lead, love, and live from the unapologetic, embodied truth of who they already are.
Walking the paths where Mary Magdalene once stood, you experience pleasure as sacred practice.
Not luxury for luxury’s sake.
But honoring your body and feminine truth as devotion.
Mary Magdalene embodies feminine spiritual authority — rooted and unapologetic.
The lands of southern France still carry her lineage.
Caves.
Stone sanctuaries.
Sea air.
This is not symbolic.
It is somatic.
You walk the land and something in you remembers.
Immersion.
Sacred land.
Sisterhood.
Luxury as reverence.
A return to the well within you.


You’re barefoot on ancient stones where Mary Magdalene once walked, the the air humming with the resonance of lineage and devotion.
In the hush of sacred caves etched with millennia-old goddess symbols, your intuitive wisdom stirs awake, deepening with each breath.
At night, you dance beneath French stars with sisters who see and celebrate your depth, women who mirror your radiance back to you.
And you return home inspired and filled.
This is pleasure as devotion, presence as power, spirituality as embodiment... as a lived, sacred way of being.
Where ancient goddess worship thrived and Mary Magdalene's true spirit still whispers through sacred caves and sun-drenched stones.
You'll walk barefoot where she once stood, feeling your own ancient knowing awaken in temples designed for transformation.
Because honoring the goddess within you means experiencing the beauty and comfort that allows your nervous system to fully relax and receive the profound shifts waiting for you.
All group meals, lodging, and transportation within the retreat are included.
Intimate group size ensures deep connection and authentic witnessing as you shed the layers of who you thought you had to be and remember the vastness of who you really are.

Montségur rises like a sacred guardian, the mountain where the Cathars preserved the revolutionary teachings of Mary Magdalene and died protecting the truth that the divine lives equally in male and female.
When you stand there, you'll feel why they chose to protect this knowing with their lives - their courage still alive in the ancient stones.

We'll explore Rennes-le-Château, where priest Bérenger Saunière discovered mysterious parchments in 1891 that some believe held secrets of Mary Magdalene's true story - truths so powerful they transformed him overnight from poverty to inexplicable wealth.
What he found in those ancient texts remains one of history's most guarded mysteries

What he found in those ancient texts remains one of history's most guarded mysteries - parchments cracked open centuries of silence about Mary Magdalene's true legacy, the encoded truths still whispering through the village stones.

At the Basilica of Mary Magdalene, you'll stand before the golden reliquary holding what believers claim is her skull - the physical remains of the woman whose gnostc we're here to remember and embody.
You'll feel why pilgrims have journeyed here for over 700 years to be in her presence - a sacred sanctuary built to honor the woman the world tried to erase.

We'll stand on the shores of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, the very beach where Mary Magdalene is believed to have arrived in France after fleeing persecution - the moment her feet touched this sand, everything changed.

At Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, we'll visit the ancient church housing the Black Madonna statue, and walk the shore where the waves still whisper the story of her arrival and the sacred lineage she carried with her.
