Magdalene Journey: Ascending the Tree of Life

In this interactive eight-week course, we will discuss the final chapter of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, where Mary shares her vision of ascending the Tree of Life, overcoming emotional and psychological obstacles that hold us back from living in a place of truth, clarity, and Light. We will explore the meaning of the tree’s lessons, the imaginal realm, and how all of this applies to our individual lives and the evolution of our species in these pivotal times.

Each week, we will begin with a brief overview of the week’s theme. We will then take a guided journey to limb on the Tree, climbing to the top over the course of the 8-week course. After each journey, we will journal about our experience, and those who wish will have an opportunity to share their experiences. On weeks 2 through 8, we will also have an opportunity to discuss how we have integrated our insights from the previous week’s journey.  We will also talk about how this inner work ties into the imaginal realm, and the importance of this work for ourselves and the world.

The class will be offered live, and will be recorded, so that you can follow the progression even if you have to miss a live class. The exchange for this course is $180.
