Join Veriditas founder Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress and her guest, author Cynthia James as they discuss Walking in the Footsteps of Mary Magdalene. The webinar will be held Monday, May 20 at 4 PM- 5 PM PST and be followed by a 30 minute opportunity for VIA members to continue the conversation.
In this webinar you will learn how experiencing walking the Chartres labyrinth inspired Ms. James on her own life changing inward journey. She will provide insights that she and those she takes on pilgrimage have received while exploring the sacred sites of southern France including areas where Mary Magdalene has reportedly lived.
Join us to become an armchair traveler following in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene's life after the crucifixion. Ms. James will discuss her own and others reactions to visiting the legendary cave in the Sainte-Baume mountains where Mary Magdalene lived the last 30 years of her life and other sacred sites in southern France.
This will be an inspiring hour of insights as you learn why Ms. James calls Mary Magdalene a "messenger of love and evangelist of transcendence" and how to apply those insights into your life and labyrinth practice.
Ms. James France pilgrimage group this year will also include a week with the Walking a Sacred Path program with Lauren Artress in September.
*For those unable to join the webinar live, it will be recorded, edited, and shared with all registered participants to watch or review at their own time and pace approximately one week following the event.
Note: VIA members be sure to join us for the additional question/answer session that follows the program. Look for the meeting link in your inbox on the day of the webinar.
