Sacre Coeur Pilgrimage
November 4-13, 2025
8 nights + 9 days
We invite you to join with us on pilgrimage in the lush nature and beauty of Provence, France.
Allow your soul, mind and body to come alive in deeper knowing of sacred unity!
We will journey to the sanctuary of Mary Magdalene, Saint-Baume cave, in the heart of a sacred forest, between land and sea, which holds a wealth of French flora.
This beloved place is where Mary walked, lived, and communed with others in the final 30 years of Her existence upon this planet.
In our daily embodiment practices, nestled and held, in a luxurious location, you will have opportunity to cultivate deeper safety in your own nervous system, which allows for a natural opening in your heart and the frequencies of our shared Heart.
“Sacre Coeur”, is French for sacred heart, symbolic of the love of Christ for all humanity.
Pilgrimage represents a physical journey and inner renewal.
A quest for deeper understanding, connection, and enlightenment within one’s faith tradition.
The evidence backed embodiment education you will learn, and that we will practice together, cultivates a deepening in your inner sanctuary, a deeper trust in Self and your innate knowing of soul.
“Christ is pure unhindered, impersonal, Intelligent, sexual energy” – Jeshua
The connection between mind, heart, soul, and genitals, is profound and opens a doorway, slowly and safely, into our inner worlds, where the Light of Christ abides.
The contemporary and yet ancient teachings of Christ, we will practice together. These mystical touchstones are alchemical in nature and take time, willingness, patience, education and breath… inner renewal cannot be rushed, but can be softened and surrendered into.
The Living Light of your own soul that heals and awakens is in the subtlest of the subtle, it’s in slowing everything down and feeling… that we open to new frequencies, new potentialities, from inside out and outside in.
“Christ is pure unhindered, impersonal, Intelligent, sexual energy” – Jeshua
The deeper teachings are understood through embodiment practice and going at the pace of Holy Spirit… it’s not a concept but an embodied, felt understanding, a radical change in the seat of the soul that unfolds through time, devotion and practice and is unique to each being.
Mary Magdalene became known as the Apostle of the apostles, the Tower, for Her great love for the one known as Jeshua, and for Her devotion to God and embodied understanding of the deeper teachings without deviation.
Journey inward with us to the heart of humanities heart…
Jeshua through the ‘Way of Mastery’ describes Her as, “The most perfect personification of Christ Mind that the world has ever seen. She is a Teacher supreme, a lover of God, as unmovable as a mountain. She is the frequencies of softness, expansiveness, power, unflappability, nothing in her ever deviated in those final thirty years of Her existence upon this plane from the currents of the deepest joy rooted in her humanity, the centers of the body all open and free flowing because not one feather tip of fear entered into Her consciousness.”
We are living in a time now where old systems are crashing down. The imbalance of the feminine and masculine within mind, out-pictured in the world as harm, hate, “othering” fear and disconnection.
Journey inward with us to the Heart of humanities heart, supported by Jeshua, Mary Magdalene and like-minded Friends.
We together will unveil deeper Oneness and the ever expanding Living Light of your own Soul…the heart of all of Creation.

(You will be bringing a bedsheet, so you are welcome to stay covered up throughout embodiment educational practices. In alignment with your own safest practice and inner needs.)
We invite you to step out of the busyness of the world and into a temple of devotion with Friends, unwinding the drama of ego as we awaken as One in Christ.
“….there is a place where even laughter dissolves into Pure Light. There is an ecstasy beyond laughter that does not require any fluctuation of energy at all.
Can you see how a laugh has a sound – a warp and woof I believe you call it – imagine it becoming so steady that it is just pure ecstasy.
That is the place from which we create. That is the place from which we create the ways in which to slip behind your defenses and tickle your Soul.” – Jeshua
