Thank you for the honest and thought provoking discussion during week two's book circle discussion - and thank you for your patience as this Magdalene is having tech problems loading videos - stay tuned. Below are two additional questions to discuss here or to journal on - let us know what comes up for you if you would like to share. Ana's greatest longing is to write, even when society tells her she shouldn't. What dreams or talents do you think people are most likely to suppress because of others' expectations? Yaltha consistently encourages Ana to remain true to herself. How important is it to have someone who believes in your potential? Have you experienced that kind of support in your own life? Join us this week 8/20 for chapter 3 ALEXANDRIA LAKE MAREOTIS, EGYPT 28–30 CE As always - not caught up? Please join us - your voice is the most important thing to bring to circle.

The summer book discussion circle begins this week! Join us to talk about the section “Sepphoris: 16-17 CE“ chapters i - xxxv - Thursday at 5 pm pacific. Link will be in the calendar You do not need to be caught up on reading to attend - the discussion questions are geared to be thought provoking rather than a narrative discussion of the book Magdalene Initiates level - book circles is one of your benefits! These circles are a favorite of attendee! We hope you join us for this hybrid summer reading circle! (Self lead reading discussion ideas and prompts will be available on Friday afternoons)

My write from today's Sacred Petitions Practice

Hello Lovelies! This September, we’re opening two new Sacred Book Circles inside the Magdalene Network. These are not traditional book clubs. We gather in Circle. The book gives us a place to begin, but the real conversation is what the words awaken in us. We reflect. We question. We share our own experiences. We listen to the wisdom of other women. Sometimes we agree with the author. Sometimes we do not. There is room for all of it. The Way of the Rose🔗 by Clark Strand & Perdita Finn This circle explores the Divine Mother, the rosary, prayer, Earth wisdom, devotion, and the feminine face of the sacred. We’ll look at what happens when familiar religious symbols are approached with fresh eyes and ask what practices like the rosary may still hold for women outside traditional religious structures. Begins September 10 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET The Magdalene Revolution🔗 by Andrew Harvey This circle takes us directly into Mary Magdalene, the Divine Feminine, sacred partnership, radical equality, embodied spirituality, and Harvey’s vision of the revolution her return represents. This is a book made for discussion. We may agree with some of Harvey’s conclusions and challenge others. That is part of the Circle. Begins September 10 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET Cost is $67 for the 8 weeks per book. Or both are included FREE with your $27/month Magdalene Initiates membership. Membership also gives you access to our ongoing Initiates offerings, so if you have been thinking about joining us more deeply, this is a beautiful time to come in. Space in each Circle is intentionally limited so every woman has room to speak, listen, and be known. ✨One Book Circle per person please. We do not simply read the book. We let the book open the Circle. Choose your book Become a Magdalene Initiate
