Remember Your Wild Roots Retreat
You are not here to be taught. You are here to be met.
A private Magdalene pilgrimage for established women and femme-identifying leaders devoted to embodied spiritual authority to come together and be filled.
This Is a Curated Gathering
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 and wisdom in her lineage.
The land is chosen with care.
The experience guided with intention.
The circle held with reverence and a whole lotta play.
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
Mary Magdalene. Black Madonna.
The Saint? The Whore? The Priestess? The Subservient?
Why Magdalene?
Mary Magdalene has been sanitized, and her power has been hidden.
You know this in your bones, because this is your experience too.
The very parts of her story that have been erased, are the parts that have been violently removed from our narrative about what it means to be a woman today.
- Wealth as power, as a woman.
- Connection to land and body as power.
- Connection to pleasure, sexuality, and soul union as power.
- Seeking wisdom from our internal authority rather than from a source outside of ourselves.
- Operating from the heart, the desires, above all.
These are the codes she carried, that have been erased from the narrative of who she was.
And these are the codes we carry, that we get to spend our lives softening into, healing from past wounding and dropping into our full sovereignty and power. In our own unique way.
The lands of southern France still carry the sacredness of ancient feminine wisdom.
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.
Laughter and letting go.
Luxury as reverence.
A return to the well within you.
Imagine...
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.
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.

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
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.

When You Leave this Retreat, You Will...
From deep soul nourishment, feel a renewed intimacy with pleasure, beauty, sensuality and devotion in your body
Lead from fullness in wealth codes, with more ease, creativity, and magnetism, and feel yourself connected in a weaving of collaborations and sisterhood
Feel courageous and emboldened to even more fiercely pursue the love relationship you have with yourself, with knowing and trusting your internal authority, and your body, as the Queen
Recognize even more deeply your divinity inside of your humanity with vast grace and celebration for all that you are, deeply aware of the synchronicities that have conspired to have you right where you're meant to be
Wake up feeling alive and radiant inside the life you’ve built, connected to your pleasure and play, and your weird and wonderful
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.
