Remember Your Wild Roots Retreat

Walk Her Path. Remember Your Own.

An 8-Day Magdalene Pleasure Pilgrimage to Reclaim the Depth of Your Pleasure, Power, and Presence

This pilgrimage in the South of France is for you if you're tired of choosing between spiritual authenticity and human love. If you've spent years hiding your sacred wholeness to keep the peace, walking on eggshells with family or community who don't understand your path, and feeling lonely from the courageous steps you've taken to embody your truth, with very few by your side to applaud or celebrate the person you're becoming. 


This isn't for women seeking a surface-level healing or a luxury vacation with spiritual undertones. Additionally, it's not for women seeking to try to fix or “perfect” themselves; heaven knows we've all had enough of that. 


This is for brave souls ready to walk the path of the Magdalene - women who know their journey is begging them to release the layers and masks and embrace being wholly human and divine. This is for women who are hungry for more and more of that. And trust that luxury and pleasure are absolutely a part of this journey.


If you've been waiting your whole life for permission to embody yourself fully, without apology, while still maintaining meaningful relationships, this is your invitation home.

Does this Sound Familiar?

You might be here because...

you feel spiritually alive but emotionally undernourished - successful on the outside but starving for real connection and understanding… you may even secretly desire to feel more deeply held and cherished for the insanely beautiful heart you have! 


But you're exhausted by the constant choice between authenticity and belonging, always calculating what parts of yourself are safe to reveal. 

You've invested deeply in your spiritual growth...

 yet still find yourself second-guessing your wild, hiding your desires and revelations, and silently apologizing for taking up space with your truth. The people closest to you might roll their eyes about your "woo-woo stuff," while you forge your path, aching to be seen and celebrated for who you really are.

You’ve spent years rising - leading, giving, holding it all together.

...but lately, the weight of proving yourself inside systems that were never built for you… feels unbearable. You love your people, but it’s like you’re living on a different planet.

Your growth keeps stretching you further from what’s familiar, and some days it feels like you have to choose

...between Your truth or your family.
You crave sacred sisterhood. You crave being held in spaces that celebrate your rebellion and your reverence.


But instead, you find yourself feeling isolated - like your wild, radiant, fully expressed self is too much for this world.


If you nodded along to any of this, you're in exactly the right place.

Imagine Instead If...

You’re barefoot on ancient stones where Mary Magdalene once walked, the air thick with ancient codes and blessings. 


In the hush of sacred caves etched with millennia-old goddess symbols, your own womb wisdom stirs awake, deepening with every breath.


At night, you dance beneath French stars with sisters who finally see and celebrate your depth, women who mirror your radiance back to you.


And you return home not just inspired, but changed, carrying a radical love and acceptance of who you are in your wholeness, and a crystal-clear knowing of how that love and acceptance now infuses everything you touch.


This is pleasure as medicine - not luxury for luxury's sake, but the revolutionary act of honoring your body, your desires, and your divine truth as pathways to living your most unapologetically liberated wholeness. 

Imagine...

Imagine...

Imagine...

Imagine if instead of feeling exhausted by defending your spiritual choices and inner knowing, you moved through the world with a deeper awareness that your path serves not just you, but the collective healing and wholeness we all need.

Imagine...

Imagine...

Imagine...

Imagine if instead of hiding, dissociating, or sanitizing parts of yourself to keep peace and save face, you had clear, loving boundaries that actually deepened your relationships because you were showing up authentically.

Imagine if instead of second-guessing your wild sacred wholeness, you trusted your inner knowing so completely that you became a source of permission for others to live their truth, too.

Imagine if instead of feeling isolated on your path, you had a sisterhood of women who not only understood your journey but also celebrated every aspect of who you're becoming; women you could see reflections of your own strength in.


This is the power of the pilgrimage that awaits you.

The Pilgrimage is Calling...

Remember Your Wild Roots

is an 8-day sacred pleasure pilgrimage through the mystical sites of southern France, where we walk with Mary Magdalene and the ancient divine feminine, not to become something new, but to return more fully to wholeness. Through presence, community, and pleasure as medicine, we reclaim our wild, integrate our shadow parts and activate the ancient wisdom that lives in our bodies. This is a journey for soul-led women ready to lead, love, and live with deeper impact and legacy, from the unapologetic, embodied truth of who they already are.


This isn't just another spiritual retreat. This is your pleasure pilgrimage - a revolutionary return to the ancient understanding that joy, sensuality, and spiritual depth aren't contradictions, but the very essence of embodied feminine wisdom.


Walking the same paths where Mary Magdalene once stood, you'll discover what it means to live in pleasure as sacred practice - not luxury for luxury's sake, but the revolutionary act of honoring your body, desires, and divine feminine truth as pathways to transformation.

About Your Guides

Melisa Keenan

Melisa Keenan has walked every step of this transformation herself—from the crushing loneliness of spiritual awakening while deconstructing from organized religion, to finding a way to honor both her spiritual truth, her human splendor, and the depth of connection in her family relationships… following traces of the Magdalen every step of the way and shedding layer after layer of the noise that isn’t her truth. As a multiple-time bestselling author, publisher, and master of intimacy through ancient feminine wisdom, she understands the courage it takes to risk everything for authenticity and the wisdom required to navigate the integration with grace.

Deidra Towns

Deidra Towns is guided by her belief that nurturing strength of Spirit is the most important thing we can do for our health, wealth, and wisdom. Trained in Christian, African and esoteric spiritual traditions, she integrates and distills these teachings to create revolutionary frameworks for understanding how Mary Magdalene's suppression mirrors modern women's experiences. Through her decolonized spiritual methodology, she guides participants in developing prophetic authority to speak truth to power while healing colonial conditioning within themselves and their communities.

Here, your authentic self is not just welcomed, but revered as essential medicine for our world.

Lauren is an award-winning multimedia artist, author, and the Founder & CEO of Orion Retreats, who teaches the revolutionary quantum science of consciousness and divine co-creation. She's pioneered an approach that transforms lives into "divine laboratories" - sacred experiments where people consciously align their consciousness, creativity, and entire lifestyle with natural law and cosmic intelligence. Through quantum physics, energy medicine, and ancient wisdom, she bridges science and spirituality, proving how universal intelligence flows through conscious channels and validating our role as active participants in cosmic evolution.


As a multi-modality energy practitioner and thought leader, she guides individuals to remember their true nature as co-creators with the universe, showing how creativity is divine dialogue and every aspect of existence becomes conscious experimentation with cosmic consciousness. Her signature retreats and transformational programs awaken people to live as channels for universal wisdom, where aligning with natural law unlocks the ability to channel divine inspiration into physical reality and participate as conscious co-creators in sacred evolution.

A Note from Melisa

Sacred Sister,


If something stirs in you as you read these words… a soft ache, a full-body yes, or even a whisper you don’t quite understand yet…this invitation is for you.


This retreat isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering the truth of who you’ve always been. The parts of you that are wild, wise, sensual, and whole, even if life has taught you to tuck them away. In the land where Mary Magdalene once walked, we will walk too. We’ll offer our prayers, our grief, our desire. We’ll reclaim the pieces we’ve hidden in shadow. We’ll dance, feast, steam, drum, and remember that pleasure is a sacred way home.


This is a space for women who are already powerful and who are ready to live, lead, and love from that power with even more ease, softness, beauty, and magic. 


If your body says yes, I hope you heed that nudge and join us. 


With love and devotion,
Melisa

When You Leave this Retreat, You Will...

Trust Your Own Timing With a Deeper Ease

...no more second-guessing your path or wondering if you’re “doing it right.” You’ll feel the universe cherishing you in real time, and you’ll move through your days with the grounded authority of a woman who walks with her whole soul online.

Feel Your Boundaries Rise Naturally From your Body

...guided by a sacred yes that feels unmistakably true. Your no will become an act of devotion, a way of protecting your energy so the things that matter most can thrive.

Show Up in Your Relationships From Your Wholeness

...rather than slipping into roles or performances. You’ll feel energized by your connections because you’re no longer abandoning yourself to be who others expect.

Lead With Your Spiritual Gifts Freely and Without Apology

...not because you’re trying to prove anything, but because it feels like your most honest way to move through the world. Your presence becomes the medicine. You will master moving through challenges with grace, knowing that difficult emotions are your friends, your teachers rising up from inside of your wisdom. 

Wake Up Feeling Alive Inside the Life You’ve Built

...not overwhelmed by it — because you’re living from your center rather than the momentum of obligation.  Here you will feel supported by a circle of sisters who truly see you - a soul-deep community that celebrates your power, honors your shadows, and walks with you long after France.

And Perhaps Most Beautifully...

You’ll feel even more connected and alive to the legacy you’re already building  - whether it's your book, your business leadership, or your empire within your home, you will feel more present inside it, more rooted in your truth, and more lit up by the woman you’re becoming within it.

This pilgrimage will fill quickly, because women everywhere have been waiting their whole lives for permission to step fully into their power while being witnessed and celebrated for exactly who they are.

Sacred Sites - These Are Only a Few...

Montsegur

Mary Magdalene Basilica

Rennes-le-Chateau

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.

Rennes-le-Chateau

Mary Magdalene Basilica

Rennes-le-Chateau

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.



Mary Magdalene Basilica

Mary Magdalene Basilica

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 revolutionary teachings 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.

Saint-Maries-de-la-Mer

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.

Your wild roots are calling you home. The Magdalene is whispering your name. Your sisters are gathering. The only question left is: Are you ready to remember the vastness of who you really are?
