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 Each Book Circle is $47. 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

For our August book circle, we’re taking a little summer detour. Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TC_w8om76cljZFDGmUx3ZBYK9-lTewUqWelzmhSN2Fk/edit?usp=sharing Instead of one of our deeper, more esoteric studies, we’ll be reading The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd, a beautifully imagined novel about Ana, a courageous and intelligent woman whose life becomes intertwined with Jesus. This one is meant to feel lighter. More beach read than theological excavation. More conversation, reflection, and curiosity than study notes and assignments. We’ll meet for four weeks beginning August 6, rather than our usual eight-week format. Read at your own pace and come whether you have finished one chapter or the entire book. There is nothing to prepare and no pressure to keep up. We’ll simply gather to talk about the story, the women within it, the questions it raises, and what it awakens in each of us. This book circle is included for all Magdalene Initiates, our Premium membership at $27 per month. Bring the book, something lovely to drink, and your thoughts. Sand between the pages is entirely acceptable. ☀️ Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TC_w8om76cljZFDGmUx3ZBYK9-lTewUqWelzmhSN2Fk/edit?usp=sharing Go to the bottom of the spreadsheet Make sure you are on August '26 page

I'm so excited to let you know I've decided to step into this amazing circle, looking forward to continuing the Magdalene journey with you🥰 First, I want to review the amazing sessions from the summit, so please let me know how to access them. Otherwise, I plan to share my story soon, so stay tuned🎶 Thank you so much, Sandy, Carrie and Linda for all you do... Blessed be your souls for saying yes to the call🙏🕊💞

This makes me want more Magdalene community connection beyond zoom. Do you know of any local in person groups in southern Missouri or Illinois that gather in person for ceremony or circle gatherings?
