On the path of MARY MAGDALENE und SARA LA KALI Initiation

On the path of MARY MAGDALENE und
SARA LA KALI
A spiritual journey to the South of France
Initiation into Christ Consciousness
From 7th to the14th of September 2015
with Maria von Blumencron & Sarah Gress & Peter Prudlo
“Do not weep and be distressed nor let your
hearts be irresolute. For his grace will be
with you all and will shelter you. Rather we
should praise his greatness, for he has prepared
us and made us true Human beings.”
(Gospel of Mary 9,12)
Background and Essence of the Journey
M
ary Magdalene was the most important disciple of the Jesus movement
that counted far more followers and supporters than twelve bearded
men. Till the death of her master she remained by his side and with her
presence beneath the cross risked her own life. After his death, Jesus Christ appeared
to Mary Magdalene first in his light body and bestowed her with the mission to bring
the message of his resurrection into the world. In accordance with the canonical
gospels she is thus the first apostle of Christianity.
The from church outcasted apocryphal gospels report that Mary Magdalene
was also the closest confidant of the Messiah. Jesus is said to have passed his entire
knowledge on to her after the resurrection. In the Gospel of Philip, he kisses his
beloved disciple even on ___ at this point there is a hole in the papyrus. Perhaps an
act of censorship which however opens up a fascinating space – for interpretations,
fantasies, desires, stories and bestsellers.
Every era has created its own Mary Magdalene. The Catholic Church gave her the
dress of the repentant sinner. Dan Brown made her to be Jesus lover.
We will sense her essence on this journey ... between the lines of her gospel that
was banned, buried and had disappeared for many centuries. Only at the end of the
19th century it reappeared in Egypt. Unfortunately only in fragments. Yet the Gospel
of Mary is a script that was not born in the space of duality but in the sphere of
awakening – in which there is neither good nor evil, no prohibitions, no commandments and no separation from God.There are only a few lines that have been preserved for posterity. But they are the key to a place that Jesus called “The Kingdom
of God”.
Mary Magdalene will be our spiritual teacher on this journey, our Master,
to whom Jesus Christ transferred his Secret Doctrine: The knowledge of expanded
consciousness, healing, levitation and enlightenment.
Why are we searching for
Mary Magdalene in France?
A
medieval legend tells that after the Easter event Mary Magdalene was
suspended with Lazarus, Marta and her servant Sara in a rudderless boat
which was driven by the wind on the stormy Mediterranean Sea to the
southern coast of France. There she proclaimed the teachings of Jesus and finally lived
thirty years in a cave fed only on heavenly food, penancing for her sinful life. After her
death she was lifted by 1000 Angels into the heavens.
And so the Grotto of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume since the Middle Ages counts as
one of the most important places of the worship of Magdalene.
Whether Mary Magdalene actually lived there we are not able to prove historically. But if we connect with the place and feel into it, we will be able to awaken this
knowledge within us that Mary Magdalene was supposed to preserve for posterity –
but which has disappeared with the institutionalization of the church. Under her leadership we will energetically ascend to Christ Consciousness – the space that Jesus
proclaimed as “God‘s Kingdom of Heaven”. The “Kingdom of God” is everywhere.
But there are places where its access is easier to find. Where an energetic key has
been stored for us. Places that have the talent to bring us into the presence of God.
One such place is Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.
The one who is really searching will find priceless treasures here.
How do I open
the space for an expanded consciousness in me?
How does healing happen?
From
which space are miracles born?
Christ put the answers to all of those questions in the hands of his favorite disciple. As a key to the spiritual world and to an immediate experience of God.
On this
journey we will beginn to feel unimagined possibilities within us: The inner slumbering
ability to heal and to perceive the spiritual world and rise into Christ Consciousness.
Because Mary Magdalene represents the awakening soul.
“Whether Mary Magdalene has actually
been here, I can not say.
Today, however,
she is here.”
(Frère Philippe Devoucoux de Buysson,
Dominican priest
and for more than 15 years the
guardian of the cave from St. Maximin la Sainte Baume)

I
n the morning we will open the space within us for this journey, with a ritual and
guided meditations. First encounter with the text of the Gospel of Mary.
The afternoon is dedicated to exploring the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine:
Communaly we will be sensing the space and the presence of Mary Magdalene and
other entities. “Soul singing” in the crypt. Our voice becomes the heavenly ladder
into divine space, a tool to open up a dialogue with the spiritual world
After dinner we will attune you to the theme of the coming day:
The backgrounds of the “France legend”.
Day 3: The Sanctuary: The grotto of Mary Magdalene
T
he morning is dedicated to the cave of Mary Magdalene. Sensing the space,
connecting and going into dialogue with Mary Magdalene and confiding in her
leadership. With the help of guided exercises and rituals we will open up the space
for transformation in which healing can take place.
Afternoon walk to the four mineral springs in the immediate vicinity of the cave.
Exchange of our experiences. These will be deepened with guided meditations and a
ritual.
After dinner we will attune you to the theme of the coming day: Sara la Kali, the
daughter of Mary Magdalene and the importance of the black, the red and white
Madonna.
Day 4: Sara la Kali, the daughter of Mary Magdalene and the ocean
O
n this day we take a trip to Saintes Maries de la Mer. The place where Mary
Magdalene is believed to have landed with her boat. It is also the holy place of Sara
la Kali. According to church legend she was said to be the servant of Mary Magdalene.
Other myths tell that she had been her daughter.
We connect with the sea and let the waves bear to us our “Vision” of the story
of Mary and Sara. We visit the Church of Sara la Kali, venerated by the Gypsies
worldwide as saintly daughter of Mary Magdalene. We will go into dialogue with Sara,
“the black one”. Exchange of our experiences. These will be deepened with guided
meditations and a ritual.

the Isis-Cult.

Day 5: The Fairy Forest and the Sources of l‘Huveaune
I
n the morning we are planning a trip to the “Fairy Forest” and to the Sources
of l‘Huveaune. Encounter with the world of the Elemental Beings and sensing and
experiencing a period prior to patriarchy. In the afternoon: Deepening of our experience with the help of a ritual and guided meditation. Expansion of the internal
space from which clairvoyance can be experienced. Refining of our gift of perception:
The “needle tip of our soul” ‚ as a tool.
After dinner: Communal Soul Singing
Day 6: The quiet day before the ascension: Trip to the Calanques Bays
I
n oder to慨敳漠⁦畯⁲潪牵敮ⱹ眠⁥楷汬爠汥硡 strengthen ourselves for our physical and mental “ascension” in the last
phase of our journey, we will relax and “catch our breath” today. We drive to the
quaint village of Cassis where we encounter the beautiful bays called “Calanques”,
which we will visit by foot or boat.
In the waters of the ocean we will prepare ourselves for the coming day, cleansing
our body, mind and soul. Dissolving ourselves in the grand big whole. With the help
of rituals we will let go of old patterns and overcome our fear to be divine. We will
burn all that hinders us in our awakening-process in the great white fire.
After dinner we will attune you to the theme of the coming day: Was Mary Magdalene the first human being to ascend into Christ Consciousness? The importance of
Anointment Oils and the sacred marriage.
Day 7: The “Col de St. Pilon” – Ascendence to Christ Consciousness
O
n this day we will ascend again to the grotto of Mary Magdalene, this time walking
through the “Forest of the Druids” and paying this special place a second visit. Our
perception will by now be more enhanced and more intense through the experiences
of the recent days.
Further ascension to the Col de St. Pilon (998 m) – to this very special place of the
Massif de la Saint Baume, from where Mary Magdalene is said to have been raised
by 1000 angels to heaven. With the help of rituals, guided meditations and work with
Salve Oils we connect with Christ Consciousness, into which Mary Magdalene has
probably been risen as the first human being. Our awakening into Christ Consciousness will also be experiencable on a physical level.
This evening: Communal soul singing to the setting of the sun.
