​

Come join John and Marcela as they partner with highly experienced teachers & guides in France to lead you through the ancient mysteries of Mary Magdalene, the Black Madonna, the Mystic Cathars and the Knights Templar! 
​​

We will stay in a quaint bed & breakfast in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, in the small town of Puivert. Local guides will lead us to the sacred sites of this land where we will climb mountains, descend into the Cathar Initiation caves, bath in Sacred Waters and Re~Member our lineage as healers and lightworkers of the New Earth. Some of the places we could explore and commune with are: 

* Renne la Chateau~ the Magdalene Chapel
* Cathar Initiation Caves
* Isis Pentagram sacred site
* Montsegur~ last fortress of the Cathars
* Fountaine des Amours 
* Mary Magdalene caves
​

This is a Calling of your Soul, and a Reuniting of a time past, that is very much alive today! We will stay in the beautiful home of our hosts, and guides, Pete and Anaiya. Their home is "Occitania", the recently reclaimed name of this Sacred Region.

About your guides, John and Marcela~ ​

John and Marcela McBride are co-owners of Body Mind Shift Healing Arts Collective and Urban Retreat Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they both have their private healing practices. They share a deep passion for supporting clients creating transformation and deeper purpose in their lives.

In the fall of 2015, they followed the call to travel to South France on pilgrimage to commune with the Sacred Feminine and the Wild and Magical history of the Cathars and the Knights Templar in this beautiful sacred land. They've had a dream to take a group back with them, since then, and are thrilled to be returning with their first group for Summer Solstice 2017!
