Women at the Well - Radical Love: Exploring the Missing & Mystical Wisdom of Mary Magdalene
Lost for more than 1500 years, The Gospel of Mary is the only gospel written in the name of a woman, and it reveals a radical love different from the understanding of Christianity that many know. We will explore the mystery, misunderstandings, and mysticism of Mary Magdalene to discover essential spiritual wisdom that can transform us and our world. Our weekly themes will include a fresh look at the mystery of Mary Magdalene, claiming our authentic power, recognizing the inherent goodness within every person, listening to our inner wisdom, seeing a new vision in the darkness, and living with a radical, transformative love for others and ourselves. We’ll draw from the contemporary writings of Meggan Watterson, Cynthia Bourgeault, and Karen King. Women at the Well is a spiritual companioning program open to all women seeking space to listen for, become more aware of, and respond to the Divine in their daily lives. This small group program includes time for reflection and sacred conversation in the community of other women on the journey. Two sessions of this program will be offered - one In-Person at the Well and one Online. This registration is for the In-Person session.
