Drawing on Celtic Christianity, the Nag Hammadi discoveries, and the work of Rudolf Steiner, Danielle retraces the footsteps of Mary Magdalene, uncovering veiled layers of Gnosis embedded in Gothic cathedrals, Templar legends, Cathar strongholds, the Black Madonna, and pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela.Through readings, discussion, and contemplative exercises, attendees will explore the spiritual presence of Mary Magdalene as a teacher, initiator, and equal among the great figures of sacred history. The event will offer a unique opportunity to engage with subtle symbols of the Magdalene encoded in art and architecture, and to experience meditative reflections on love, equality, and the archetypal feminine. Copies of Danielles book will be available for sale in the Steiner House bookshop.
