Mary Magdalene Alchemical Southern France Retreat

Celebrate the Fall Equinox

Come Into Your Divine Feminine Mastery

Create the Life of Your Deepest Dreams

September 15-25, 2025

 
 
 
 

The Ancient Call of the Magdalene

Standing on the shores of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, where Mary Magdalene first stepped onto French soil nearly 2,000 years ago, something profound awakens within you. It's as though the veil between worlds thins, and suddenly, you remember what your soul has always known.

 
 

This pilgrimage is an awakening of ancient memory—a journey that transcends mere tourism or spiritual retreat.

It's a sacred remembrance that happens at the intersection of hallowed ground, timeless wisdom, and the divine blueprint encoded in your very DNA.

 
 

Is Your Soul Yearning for More?

The fragments of light within you are yearning for wholeness. Perhaps you've noticed:

  • A subtle dissatisfaction despite outward achievements and success

  • A sense that a more authentic, powerful version of yourself lies dormant

  • Recurring patterns and relationships that mirror unresolved wounds

  • A feeling of being spiritually homesick for something you can't quite name

  • An inexplicable resonance with Mary Magdalene's story and energy

 

These aren't coincidences or random feelings. They're the sacred cosmic breadcrumbs leading you back to your divine essence—to the place where your golden quintessence flows freely.

 
 

The Renaissance of the Divine Feminine

10-day alchemical journey traces Mary's footsteps through the mystical landscapes of Southern France, activating the template of the divine feminine within you. Not to overpower the masculine, but to restore the sacred marriage within—the union of feminine and masculine principles that creates wholeness.

When Mary revealed to me, "Wipe the slate clean of what you think is impossible," she wasn't speaking in metaphor. She was offering the master key to unlock your true potential—the recognition that most limitations exist only in the subconscious patterns we've inherited or created.

 
 

A Fall Equinox Pilgrimage

For the first time ever, we'll enjoy overnight accommodations for the Fall Equinox at the Abbey de Valsaintes with its enchanting gardens and ancient neolithic stones that align with celestial movements – a cosmic alignment that amplifies your co-creative power! 

At the heart of our Equinox journey, you'll experience the mystical Fertilite stones—ancient formations that miraculously birth small round "boulinettes" and have been revered for generations as powerful abundance activators. During our exclusive ceremony, we'll harness this rare planetary alignment to unlock your creative potential and abundance codes.

 
 

Your Personal Invitation...

For Women: 

If you've experienced places where the feminine has been dishonored, silenced, or cast out, this journey reconnects you to your sacred womb wisdom. Heal the mother-daughter-sister wounds from this life and beyond to reclaim your voice and authentic expression.


For Men:

If you've carried the burden of society's expectations to be the provider, the strong one, always in control, this journey opens pathways to embrace your vulnerability and intuition. By healing wounds with the feminine, within and without, you create space for deeper connection and freedom.


For Couples: 

Relationships are crucibles for our greatest evolution. Experience the teachings of sacred union as you journey together on this holy land, peeling back the layers "too heavy to carry anymore" and emerging as the versions of yourselves you've always known you could be.

 
 
 

Highlights of the Mary Magdalene 2025 Retreat:

The Alchemy of Aromatics

Historical art depicts Mary Magdalene with a vessel of aromatic essence used for the holy practice of anointing. These sacred oils hold the keys to awaken ancient wisdom and divine knowledge within us.

Rare aromatics like spikenard, myrrh, bakul, cistus and lotus will be our allies to access an expansive pathway to the deep recesses of the soul where Divine truth and light dance in unity.

 

 The Magdalene is calling you to France for a journey of miracles and mysticism. She invites you into deeper communion with The Beloved - the infinite source of love within you. Join our sacred circle this September and experience the magic and transformation that awaits!

 

 

A Unique Transformative Experience

This intimate journey, guided by Adora Winquist and Veronique Flayol, weaves together history, myth and direct experience of the Divine Feminine through the lands and legacy of Mary Magdalene.

  • Breaking cycles of limitation that you've carried from your soul to your cells

  • Healing ancestral and personal wounds through powerful frequency work

WHAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE EXPERIENCED:

Mary Magdalene Testimonials

“All the beauty that I experienced while there, it was very healing and cathartic, and it allowed me to step out of my own life and feel and open to divine presence through Adora’s healing meditations and through Veronique, who feels like a person that has come from the past to the present to bring us to that experience of Mary Magdalene's arrival in France. Adora's oils were a really valuable, potent part of the meditations that we did. She would give us these oils, and somehow just smelling and putting them on helped further the power of the experience. It was like the oils really helped create that opening and made the meditations that much more powerful. They were a cathartic part of the whole experience and to visit all of these sacred spots was a very healing experience for me where I felt like I was opening up and releasing at the same time. Ever since then, it's like miracles have been happening in my life and I really feel called to being stronger within myself and being more my true self and that divine presence in my life has come alive and flowered within me.”

Marybeth Weiss

“I have been on other retreats that were advertised as being "spiritual" and promising transformative experiences to hidden sources. Your retreat was the first one that actually provided all of that. I came away with feeling that I had a life-changing journey. Every detail of the trip was beautifully coordinated. I felt loving support by Adora, Patsy and Roni. All of my fellow travelers were amazing, supportive women as well. We all bonded on our Mary Magdalene quest. I am grateful and blessed to have participated in this journey.”

Michelle Smith

“Last week, a friend came over to hear about my trip. I showed her the crystal you had gifted to me and told her how it broke in two while wearing it the first full day of the trip. All of a sudden, her entire being transformed and she began speaking to me in an otherworldly voice. I was told the speaker was the "Collective.” The speaker told me that the breakage symbolized the culmination of letting go of a deep guilt that I had been holding onto for centuries. The visitor then said that I have been working on this release for several months and that by my going on the journey, I had finally taken the last step to release this dark guilt from my soul. The message: I had burdened my soul and buried so deep, I did not remember it in this lifetime. Unfathomable, but totally on a soul level. Your work with me removed all the last cords, etc. So thank you and MM again.”

Michelle

“Words fail when I try to communicate the profound experience I had during my time in France with Adora, Patsy and Roni. There is a chemistry between these 3 women that was able to alchemize and resurrect aspects of my soul that I’ve not known before. Through the path of sisterhood, ritual, sacred oils and place, my heart cracked open toward myself. Each day brought a new level of cosmic complexity and sacred union with Mary, Myself, the Sisterhood and the Scarab. There is an order, a sacred geometry to the design of the program’s flow. It takes you to your edge, equips you with what you need to take the leap and loves no matter what you decide to do next. I always felt held, safe and loved by the guides, the group, and land. I’ve been all over the globe, led and attended all types of retreats, yet nothing has compared to my time in France with Adora, Patsy, Roni and my Sisters who journeyed with me. We danced, we dined, and dove deep - but most of all we fell in love with each other and ourselves.”

Tammy Marshall

“This retreat was magical. Full not only of sacred places but sacred ceremonies, meditations, and communion with the group. During my time in France with Adora, I experienced several awakenings that have already had a great positive impact on my life and being.”

Kay Francis

“Wow! Talk about good vibes only! I went on the Mary Magdalene retreat with Adora this past September. I did not know what to expect. I went with an open mind and open heart. My experience was truly amazing! Adora had a wonderful guide whose love and passion for where she came from and for the mysteries of the life of Mary Magdalene were felt with her every word. Roni was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the places we visited, the life of Mary Magdalene, and the people that came in contact with her and her work. The beauty of the countryside of France and the weather around the time of the year that we went made the trip that much more special. I can’t forget to mention the delicious meals that were included in our package. Wow! In this retreat I was able to tap into a deeper connection of myself and the universe with Adora’s guided meditations. Adora has a gift which allowed us to travel to different places in our meditations. I was able to see colors, images of geometry, icons, and people that left me with an incredible feeling of what just occurred. When the tour was over and I was back home, I felt much lighter. There were things that I was carrying before the trip. I was able to release so much! I came home happy and with a new perspective on the things that were bothering me. They didn’t bother me anymore. The trip was a true transformational experience aside from visiting beautiful places full of history. We also got to have some free time to shop, eat, imbibe, and have fun! I met a great group of women who I’m still in touch with. I loved it! I would definitely go back!”

We will do our check in and join together at the gastronomic restaurant for lunch.

 
 

Day 7: Abbaye de Valsainte - Fall Equinox Celebration

One of the most remarkable evenings of our Mary Magdalene Retreat is our celebration of the Fall Equinox.

The Fall Equinox marks a rare intersection of the Sun and the celestial realms creating a potent planetary alignment, heightening the alchemical frequencies for intentional creation. This is the time of bountiful harvest and to experience the fullness of abundance in our life in all of its glorious forms and facets. It will deepen our skills of manifestation as ‘dream creators.’

We will travel to Abbaye de Valsaintes for this sacred celebration, perched at a height of 1,800 feet in the middle of a vast natural bowl, watching over a land which has been sacred since Prehistoric times.

For the first time, we will stay over at this treasured location where you will enjoy three transformative experiences.

I will guide you to co-create your own sacred anointing oil form my collection of rare, precious and high frequency aromatics based on your awakening inner guidance. Jean-Luc will also guide us in a Gregorian Chant workshop through his own ancient gift of sound, deepening your heart and soul’s expansion of divine connection. Roni will also share her gifts of aromatic wisdom with a unique program on ancient anointing practices.

We will also visit the Dragon rock, the guardian of the promontory of Boulinette and often referred to as “Mother Goddess,” which watches over the valley of Valsaintes. The quality of the rock and its siliceous soil make this unique site in Provence a place for going back to one’s roots and regaining vitality. Here you will witness the remarkable Fertilite rock formations, dating back to neolithic times. Beautiful roses, cistus, herbs and flowers adorn the gardens which guide us to the chapel for a very special treat.

At the miraculous Fertilitie rock formations we will have our Fall Equinox ceremony to open to miracle consciousness with golden champaca oil to receive the Infinite Abundance Activation. From this state of high frequency, I will then guide you to bless your personal sacred synergies and anchor these beautiful energies into your oils.

The nurturing medicine of Mother Earth here offers the divinely perfect space for introspection, integration and communion with the cosmic forces of benevolence at this most auspicious time of the year. Overnight at the Abbaye.
