EPISODE 53 - THE MADONNA SECRET

Join me and the incredibly erudite Magdalena, Sophie Strand. We converse about who Mary Magdalene is and was as a rooted, grounded, earthy sensual woman, teaching us the ecology of being human and divine. 

 

Sophie is an incredible Magdalene storyteller, if ever there was one! You’ll love hearing about her upcoming new book, The Madonna Secret. You’re definitely going to want to red (read!) it, as soon as it hits shelves in mid-August. 

 

Hear all about what inspired Sophie to write her amazing book and how it initiated her in a very deep way. 

 

This is a dive into one possible story of the potent relationship that may have existed between Magdalene and Yeshua. 

 

Some of what we explore:

• Why Magdalene and why now?
• Magdalene as an invitation to animistic sensibility
• Magdalene as a sensualist, who puts us in touch with the erotic nature of spirituality
• The new story of Mary Magdalene as equal to Yeshua & what this brings to us as modern day Magdalenas
• What it means to walk as a Magdalena
