Join us for this weekend Magdalene retreat in the peaceful rural location of Hilfield Friary in Dorset. Once again, we gather at the time of the Celtic festival of Imbolc, as the sap starts to rise and the inward facing dark still energies of winter turn towards the coming light of spring. This is a time for reflection on the year past, and the receiving of intentions for the year ahead. What seeds, gathered in the abundance of last autumn's harvest, will we choose to plant on for 2026.
The Women from Galilee
A short extract from the text of my book.
“A true community is not just about being geographically close to someone or part of the same social web network. It's about feeling connected and responsible for what happens. Humanity is our ultimate community, and everyone plays a crucial role.”
Yehuda Berg
Where do you find your soul community?
Practice
Calling in soul community. Visualisation
You may have a spiritual community, these days some of us have several,or you may not yet have found one. Either way there are times when we can be or feel isolated and alone. It is at these times that we can call in our soul community to hold us and strengthen us. These maybe living people that you know or don’t know, or they can be other times and other worlds. Our souls limited by time and space but are aligned with the underlying forces of creation and the mystery of that which is before and beyond creation.
If you have a candle light it and ask for it to be a beacon those who belong to your soul community to gather here now. Close your eyes and see or sense a circle with a fire of pure loving light at its centre. See or sense a gradual gathering of your soul community. At times the circle is small at others it is vast; just allow it to be what it is. Feel the connection and comfort of simply sitting together. You may wish to remain silent or to ask for some particular support. When you feel complete thank everyone for joining you, commit to holding them in your heart, let the circle disperse.Open your eyes and blow out the candle. Know that you are held and loved exactly as you are.

Art has always been my first love, though many other things have filled my life. I am a painter, author, spiritual teacher, an Interfaith Minister and the founder and visionary for the Mary Magdalene School of Wisdom. With 52 years experience of running workshops and groups the last 28 have focused on spiritual teaching and the Divine Feminine.
In 2001 I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor by OneSpirit Interfaith foundation https://www.interfaithfoundation.org/ and was a leading faculty member until 2010 training hundreds of Ministers. In 2011 I received a deep connection with Mary Magdalene and after many workshops and retreats I formed the Mary Magdalene School of Wisdom from 2014 to 2023.
From 2001 to 2018 I had a thriving spiritual counseling and supervision practice and still offer guidance and support for a limited number of people. I also enjoy occasional contributions as a faculty member of Mythica https://www.mythicacommunity.com/
Over recent years I focused more on nature and art, having profoundly realised that my experience of being in the artistic flow or being spiritually inspired and guided come from the same inner source. This is the source of universal creativity, of love, peace, and joy. It is our birthright as children of the Cosmos. No matter what our spiritual path or outlook there lies within us a force beyond our comprehension, it can only be known through direct experience. I hope that we can access that creative force together. I am really excited to see how your individual creative journey emerges. There is no right way, only what is true for you.

My art is an act of love. May the wind of Grace blow through me, sweeping away all hubris, leaving only hand, eye, heart, soul, light. May the infinite radiance of creation open my inner and outer eyes. I am grateful, humble and forever in service of love. My art is an act of gratitude.
