Ready to embark upon a transformative
experience you’ll never forget?
Imagine being able to walk, talk and listen to Miriam of Magdala, most known to the world as Mary Magdalene, in one of the most charming parts of the world: Southern France. Join us from Sept 16-24, 2025 in Provence for a unique, mind and heart-altering experience you won’t want to miss.
We’ll retrace Mary Magdalene’s steps and explore her life in what was once Gaul, now France. We’ll visit sacred sites as well as nearby towns and villages, reenacting some of the rituals and ceremonies they performed over two thousand years ago when Miriam lived among the Druids.
Anthony, a full-embodied channel of Mary Magdalene and Yeshua, who the world most knows as Jesus of Nazareth, will bring forth their wisdom each day at sacred sites during this once-in-a-lifetime experience. A rare and transformative retreat offering, Anthony will be in “Miriam/Avatar” state throughout the site visits, over meals and even while traveling at times. In other words, you will be able to walk, talk and ask questions to Miriam, Yeshua and the guides on-site. Renee will ground the energy and compliment the teachings that Miriam will share directly through Anthony. Together, they will lead rituals and ceremonies at sacred sites and during a Kundalini-activating soul-renewal activation. (read more about it here)
“The energy transmissions when Anthony is in “state” are palpable.” -Jeannette Ann
“Each day, we’ll walk in Magdalene’s footsteps, tracing them back over two thousand years, and learn from her story, ancient Gnostic wisdom, and teachings brought anew for modern times,” said Renee Blodgett. “We’ll also be doing energy work and attunements as well as meditations, and a Darshan soul renewal activation; many describe it as transformative or equate it to a Kundalini awakening. Together, we’ll visit sacred sites and explore the wisdom shared in our award-winning and bestselling book, Magdalene’s Journey.
Magdalene’s Journey challenges a much-filtered and archaic narrative that has dictated to humanity how to understand history, the Abrahamic religions, and the pivotal roles of women, serving as a significant upgrade to an outdated paradigm and distorted storyline. “Reading this remarkable book will open up the depth of your awareness and consciousness that the reader never knew she had,” said renowned scholar, futurist and award-winning author Dr. Jean Houston.

The book shares her story, her journey and teachings and on the retreat, we’ll go deeper into the wisdom over the course of the week. Through Anthony, Miriam of Magdala will share stories and take questions. The group will visit sacred sites, as well as towns and villages where she and the female apostles traveled, and perform some of the same rituals and ceremonies that were practiced two thousand years ago.
Some of the planned site visits will include various temples, cathedrals and palaces in coastal Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Saint Maximin-La-Sainte-Baume where Miriam and the sisters once taught (both the town and the caves), Pontévès, Cotignac, Cassis, Carry-le Rouet, a vineyard: TBD, and more (itinerary is subject to change and be fine-tuned as we get closer to the retreat date).
We will not be taking the route below; however, we share it with you to give you an idea of what is seen as a traditional path. That said, we are including some of these visits. We are being guided by the Magdalene energy; the shape and form it will take is subject to something outside of our structured and linear thinking. Magdalene is guiding us to spend more quality time on the Eastern side of this route, focusing on sacred ritual, ceremony, nature and side trips off the beaten path to absorb some of the cultural aspects of Provence as well. As she, Yeshua and other ancient wisdom teachers and masters have taught: balance, balance, balance.
This is a SACRED & SPIRITUAL JOURNEY and experience, not a religious one.
Below are additional photos that highlight some of the stops we will make, including Cassis along the coast, Cotignac and Pontevès.
Although there have been other Magdalene retreats to France, this pilgrimage experience is one-of-a-kind, as Anthony will be in a channeling state for the duration of our trip. You’ll be experiencing each day with Mary Magdalene as she speaks and teaches through him. He will bring forth Yeshua and the Ascended Masters for additional information and healing.
We will also explore the wisdom from Magdalene’s Journey, where she’ll share in-depth about her life with the sisters during that pivotal time in history. She’ll lead us through some of the rituals and ceremonies they performed together as part of what was known at the time as the Sect or Cult of Isis, referred to by several names over the years. This movement was a prominent practice and group in ancient Egypt, centered on the Goddess Isis, who was associated with passion, fertility, protection, magic, motherhood, and healing. Her followers spread throughout the Roman Empire, ultimately becoming one of the most popular non-native religions in the pre-Christian European period.
It expanded into the Mediterranean region during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, as its rituals, ceremonies, and community fostered a deep sense of connection, especially among women. Although the word “Cult” has a negative connotation in general, during that time, it was simply a group that practiced spiritual rituals and ceremonies to connect them deeper to the Goddess energy, specifically Isis and the traits she embodied. Gatherings created lasting bonding connections amongst women.
This retreat may be calling to people who feel a connection to Mary Magdalene and/or Yeshua; however, it is also about the rise of the Divine Feminine within each of us. This unique pilgrimage experience is for those who are curious, passionate, and open to spiritual awakening. It is also designed for people on a spiritual journey who want to dive deeper. This is not an ordinary pilgrimage or retreat, as channeling Mary Magdalene every day (at every site visit) and even over meals will be an integral part of the experience. When Anthony is in this expanded state of awareness and consciousness, the energy can be activating.
As a result, more universal truths may come through for people in ways they don’t expect. Included on the retreat will be a Blue Soul Darshan experience, which will deepen that connection to the Higher Self, who already knows this innate wisdom. As these shifts occur in your auric field, more memories and empowering realizations may emerge, shifting your beliefs and realities in the process. More and more people are waking up to the realization that much of what we’ve been taught through conventional practices and belief systems is not only disempowering, but not aligned with universal truths. So often, what we’ve been conditioned to adopt as historical fact was altered and modified to support whoever was in power at the time.
Under the long established Patriarchal world, people were fed a much-filtered and archaic narrative that has dictated to humanity how to understand history, the Abrahamic religions, and women’s pivotal role during that time. Our book Magdalene’s Journey and the Magdalene Retreat & Pilgrimage both serve as a significant upgrade to an outdated paradigm and distorted storyline.
Tossed aside like an inconvenient truth by the powers behind patriarchal Roman thrones and later the Catholic hierarchy, Miriam of Magdala was mostly unknown. People who took the time to probe deeper still looked through that tainted lens, leading them to misunderstand and devalue her role as a healer and teacher. This role, one could argue, was equal to that of Yeshua’s as the yin to his yang—complementary and interconnected forces that together deepened the power of their healing abilities.
“We are excited to bring this truly unique embodied experience to you and join in the festivities and deep conversations that Magdalene and Yeshua bring through. We will walk in their shoes and hear their truths. With that shedding will come a host of our own truths that have been buried deep within us,” said Anthony Compagnone.
The retreat house is located roughly an hour and a half northeast of Marseille. The property can accommodate about ten people, so once we are fully booked, we’ll close registration. We encourage you to register as soon as possible to secure a spot and a place to sleep in the house. Also, if you are interested in sharing a room, let us know. Two of the rooms have a couple of beds whereas most have queen beds. There is also a swimming pool, full kitchen, bathrooms, washer and wifi access at the retreat house.
Retreat Investment: We are still fine-tuning the schedule; however, our estimate and plan is to keep around or under $4,000. A $2,000 deposit will secure your spot, with the balance due by August 4. Once you are confirmed, we will reach out to you to discuss any food allergies and sensitivities.
As we get closer, we’ll provide a list of recommended items to bring and wear. We will also be holding one or two Zoom calls to share some of the highlights and gather your input, so we have a clearer idea of what you would like to work on during this pilgrimage.

Not included are your flight, transfers to and from the Marseille airport, shopping, dinners in towns, tips, or alcoholic beverages.
“Their retreat helped me to awaken to a higher level of knowing and deeper level of consciousness. You could say I was reborn during the Darshan soul-renewal activation. From the opening ceremony through the closing ritual, you could feel the beautiful frequency of love that they hold. I walked away in awe, and my energy has amplified. I can’t wait until the next one.” —Eileen Drevitson, Financial Advisor & Sound Healer (North Carolina)
“I have attended many retreats and had many experiences over the years, but nothing like the kind of energy that comes through when Anthony channels . . . it’s palpable. I experienced head-to-toe body chills with each revelation and flashes of remembering. Their retreat allowed me to immerse myself in the energies and hear even deeper truths. Attending one of their retreats is like drinking and soaking in a fine spiritual elixir.”—William Rebold, Recreation Therapist, Physical Therapist and Yoga Instructor (San Francisco)
“I’ve attended two of their retreats now, which both exceeded my expectations. The energy was significantly amplified with sacred initiations and activations by Yeshua and Magdalene, Ascended Masters, and others. I spent the entire time in an expanded state of newly discovered pure love, which was surreal and perception-altering. I am a grateful recipient of deep healing and of loving energetic expansion.”—Michele Ketzmerick, Project Manager & Author (Canada)
“With ease and grace, Anthony and Renee created a safe and supportive environment where I gained an immense amount of information in a short period of time. I experienced a true, deep connection and understanding, and felt rejuvenated and excited to incorporate my learnings to improve my life and my community.”—Shannon Cath, Midwife (Silicon Valley)
“Their retreat was the single most transformative event of my life. My experience was both powerful and magical and I’m in deep gratitude for their work. I’ve been a healer for over 15 years, and I received more from Renee & Anthony’s retreat and subsequent workshops than any other course, book, retreat, workshop, or event I’ve ever taken. This is where healers come to get healing and level up.”—Lyndsey Clegg, RN BSN CCHt, Nurse and Project Manager (Northern California)
“Embarking on the spiritual retreat with Anthony and Renee was a profound journey. Saying ‘yes’ from the depths of my soul felt like the right decision. Their teachings and opportunities for a spiritual awakening process are accessible. The retreat unfolded in a safe space, where surprises like a full-body meditative sound bath and a profound historical reenactment of the Last Supper added an extra layer of depth and connection to the experience. This transformative blessing continues to influence my daily life and perspective in ways beyond words.”—Jayme Hartwig, Founder, Neurowiring (Boulder Colorado)
“I always notice a difference in the presence of the energies that Renee and Anthony bring forth. I see and experience beautiful changes and magic in my life, and I know it’s a result of my retreat experience with them in Ashland, Oregon, and subsequent meetings through their membership programs. Profoundly enriching.”—Shelley Ferguson, Massage Therapist (Wisconsin)
Below are some snapshots and videos from two of our previous retreats (Mount Shasta and Ashland Oregon), both in the United States. We have led five retreats so far—all state-side. This is our first international retreat. While our U.S.-based retreats have ranged from 15 to 33 people, our goal for France is to make it under 15 to make it easier to navigate the sites, allow more individual time for one-on-one experiences and to keep it intimate, as Miriam will be sharing her story and wisdom with us at each site visit.
