The Magdala Mother

I

A monastic movement reimagining motherhood

The Magdala Mother is a prophetic call to reimagine motherhood through the lens of place, ritual, and the wild woman’s soul. The word “Magdala” comes from Mary Magdalene’s hometown. It means “fortress” or “tower” in Hebrew. In a milieu where Motherhood has been coopted by cultural demands rather than deep attunement to the soul’s needs, the Magdala Mother stands in her own fortress like sovereignty, outside those demands, with her feet rooted in the ground. It is from this place she reimagines Motherhood by listening to the deepest part of her inner knowing. She is wild. She is free. She is Mother.

Listening to the Land

The Magdala Mother is a movement deeply connected to the land and one’s connection to place through the practice of silence.

Reawakening the Wild Soul

The Magdala Mother is a movement committed to reimagining what it means to offer one’s whole erotic wild self, in service to God.

Practicing Sacred Ritual

The Magdala Mother is a movement reimagining sacred gatherings beyond the walls of institution.

Listen: Are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?
