Nestled within the sacred dragon mountains of Provence, Sainte-Baume, this ancient forest contains the legendary cave where Mary Magdalene is said to have lived in devotion, prayer, and communion for the final 30 years of her life.
For centuries, pilgrims have journeyed to this mountain, sacred spring, and forest seeking healing, revelation, and spiritual renewal.
This intimate pilgrimage is an invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and enter a sacred threshold of remembrance.
Through somatic womb work, voice activation, and sacred communion with the Earth, we will listen for what is ready to emerge, awaken, and be reborn through each of us.
There are places on Earth that carry deep feminine currents for initiation and remembrance.
Places where the veil thins, where the heart softens, and where something ancient within us remembers... Saint Baume is one of those places.
Together, we will walk the ancient pilgrim paths, journey through the sacred forests of Sainte-Baume, and enter the caves and temples of Mary Magdalene, Isis, and the Rose Dragons.
Throughout the week, we will gather in rose-infused ritual and ceremony, explore the wisdom of the womb and voice as pathways to the soul, and attune to the powerful threshold energies of the Autumn Equinox.
If you're on this page...
the rose lines are calling you.
Throughout our time together, you will be held within a small circle of women as we engage in voice activation, womb magic, somatic practices, prayer, ritual, reflection, and deep listening.
Each woman will also receive a personal initiation, a dedicated moment of prayer, presence, and guidance in service of her unique path.
Communion with the Land
Throughout herstory, pilgrims have journeyed to sacred sites not only for personal transformation, but in service to the Earth herself.
Many traditions speak of energetic pathways within the Earth—sometimes called dragon lines, ley lines, or Earth meridians—that carry life force throughout the planetary body. Sainte-Baume is considered by many to be one of these powerful energetic crossroads.
As we gather in prayer, devotion, ceremony, and sacred sound, we enter into a living relationship with the land.
In this way, pilgrimage becomes more than a personal journey.
It becomes a sacred exchange.
We awaken the land through our devotion.
And the land awakens us.
Hi, I’m Aureli.
Spending time on the dragon lines of this sacred mountain changed me in ways I am still discovering.
For me, it was a profound rebirth. As I walked the mountain and sat in devotion within the cave, I experienced layers of grief, protection, and old patterns beginning to soften and release. I left feeling as though I had been baptized back into a deeper remembrance of my own wholeness.
As a channel, somatic guide, and voice priestess, I have spent more than a decade leading transformational retreats and sacred journeys around the world. After taking several years away from leading travel experiences to devote myself to a season of deep healing and integration, I found myself unexpectedly called back to this mountain.
When I left Sainte-Baume, I knew I would return—not only for myself, but with other women.
This pilgrimage was born from that knowing.
It is an invitation to walk these ancient paths together, to listen deeply to the wisdom of the land, and to remember something that perhaps has always lived within you.
it is an honor to welcome you into this pilgrimage.
It feels impossible to encompass how forever changed I am after my first session with Aureli.
She is so profoundly gifted at her craft. I felt safe, at ease, and so held - setting the foundation to open, express, release, and expand into a new realm of being. She is so present, attuned, and right there with you the entire session.
Her spirit team of guides feel like a warm embrace of protection, clarity, and cosmic insight. I felt free to intuitively move my body. Releasing with movement, shaking, sound, and accompanied by energetic touch and song from Aureli. Because I felt so safe, I was able to move what feels like lifetimes of stagnant energy, call in my power, and remember my innate ability to be my own anchor.
It was epically beautiful to feel a cracking open of voice reclamation. Over a decade of trauma surrounding that area was able to feel seen. I cried, I laughed, I sang, and a voice emerged that felt like I was meeting for the first time.

I came into this session as a healer and space holder myself, deeply aware that I had been overextending. I was yearning for nourishment at the level of my energetic body—craving a reset so I could continue supporting others from a place of fullness and alignment.
The session with Aureli was a massive edge and a massive permission slip. It felt like a homecoming to parts of me I didn’t know I’d abandoned. One moment that cracked me wide open was when Aureli gently asked me to channel my light language louder. My whole body flooded with fear. What if I messed it up? What if I was judged?
But the space she held was so loving, so nonjudgmental, that I felt safe enough to let my full emotional range come through: grief, joy, bliss, heartbreak. The intensity moved like a wave. It began dense and dark, like I was leaping off a cliff into the unknown… and then softened into lightness, fluidity, and trust.
By the end of our time together, I felt a higher intelligence moving through me. Something ancient and true. Something deeply human and deeply divine. In the days afterward, I found myself standing taller, speaking with more confidence and conviction. I even sang a song at a temezcal the very next day—something I absolutely would’ve withheld before.
"This experience was unlike anything I’ve ever done before—edgy, sacred, and completely worth it..."

Before the session, I was carrying so much stuck emotion—this heavy weight I couldn’t really name or move on my own. I knew it was there, but I didn’t know how to get to it. During the activation, something really shifted. It wasn’t something my mind could track or understand... I felt things begin to move and release on a deep level.
I felt completely held in this very real, unconditional way. Parts of me I didn’t even realize were offline started coming back online, and they were met exactly as they needed to be. The voice work itself felt incredibly attuned—the tones and energy shifted as things unfolded, almost like the work was listening and responding in real time.
One of the most powerful moments for me was connecting with past life memories that felt unmistakably true in my body. I could feel who I’ve been—and who I still am—and I watched trauma I’d been carrying for a very long time start to dissolve.
If you’re considering a session, I’d say this: it gives you exactly what your soul is ready for, not what your mind thinks it needs. You may not be able to explain it afterward—but you’ll feel something ancient, true, and unexpectedly big touch you at a very deep level.
"I felt completely held in this very real, unconditional way. Parts of me I didn’t even realize were offline started coming back..."

"Though our sessions are virtual, I always experience spiritual connectedness and amazing engagement. Our sessions are a time where all my feelings, physical and mental, are safely explored with such nurture and care.
Aureli is so perceptive at knowing when enough emotional work has been done, so that I never leave feeling drained. Everyday I get to use the resources and insights from our sessions to get closer to my desire for sensuality and confidence. Aureli work is truly powerful and a blessing to women that have experienced sexual trauma and are ready to liberate themselves from it."
"Aureli and her 1:1 healing sessions have been so transformative, allowing me to reach breakthroughs I didn’t know were possible. "
Tempestt C. // Washington State
"Aureli helped me release trauma dating back to my earliest years and reinforced throughout my childhood. Her work helped me release the burden of emotional blockages from my mind-body system and reshape parts of my body that were holding and weighed down by trauma.
And the results of my working with Aureli began to show early in our time together. My sessions with Aureli continue to lead to further breakthroughs in my life: I have released old patterns of thinking and language that no longer serves.
I feel more love because I am able to fully love myself. I am taller, stronger, wiser, more aligned, lighter in spirit, and in touch with who I am."
"I am taller, stronger, wiser, more aligned, lighter in spirit, and in touch with who I am."

Throughout the week, we will journey to several of the most sacred Magdalene/isis sites on planet earth. While our itinerary will remain responsive to the group's energy, weather, and the guidance of the land, our pilgrimage may include:
A Sacred & Rare Invitation
This pilgrimage has arisen from a very specific call. I do not know when—or if—I will be called to lead this journey again.
If something within you stirs as you read these words, I invite you to listen.
The experience is intimate and there are only 6 total spaces available.
If you feel the call of Mary Magdalene, the mountain, and the deeper truth of your own soul, I would be honored to welcome you into this sacred journey of rebirth.
My throat has been on fire in the best way since. I’m letting primal sounds come through and remembering that I am a human-animal, shedding old constructs and stepping into raw, authentic expression.
If I had to describe this work to someone who’s never experienced it, I’d say: This isn’t just vocal work. It’s Soul work. It’s non-linear, multi-dimensional, and guided by something far beyond the mind. Your future self will thank you for saying yes.
I believe this kind of activation is especially powerful for those healing from narcissistic dynamics, for those with a fawn pattern, and for visionary entrepreneurs who know it’s time to be seen.
"Your future self will thank you for saying yes."

Aureli lovingly encouraged me to open in the places I’ve protected and hid from, with her guidance I felt courage, strength, and love. She intuitively knows where to support and when to embolden you to take the reins.
Her voice radiates through the fibers of your bones and you feel anew. She circulates her intuitive touch, her stunning voice, her instruments, her wisdom, and her guides as the magical toolkit to support you in your journey back home to yourself in ways I didn’t know were possible.
It’s just the beginning of my integration from our time together and I already feel a newly deepened sense of trust in myself, a levity to my body and day to day energy, and a devotion to nurture and tend to exiled parts of myself.
Her voice radiates through the fibers of your bones and you feel anew.

"I’ve done decades of therapy and many types of healing modalities. I loved the creativity, non-conceptual/body-centered nature of the work, and her gifts as a healer and guide. My main intention was to gain insight and healing around ancestral trauma, and explore how that might relate to my level of openness and connectivity in my relationship. Before our sessions, I felt a subtle dullness that permeated everything. I felt dampened, muffled, and guarded. After working together for just 3 sessions, I feel less dull and have much more energy! I realized that my access to my own power is related to my ability to connect. I would 100% recommend working with Aureli!"
"The work I did with Aureli was truly transformative in a way I haven’t experienced before."
Amy H. // COLORADO
“By doing this work I was able to increase the quality of my sleep, build healthy habits, express my emotions, increase my capacity to love and accept love, and learn about who I truly am. I feel an overwhelming amount of gratitude and love towards my body and all that it allows me to do. My heart feels less contracted and more expansive. I have a higher capacity to receive love and express love to myself and others. I no longer consume coffee and I’m able to function all day without caffeine (Even when working 50 hours a week, woohoo). I naturally have more energy and sleep better at night.”
"I’ve never been able to express my emotions so having a safe and accepting environment to heal is amazing."
Kaylee S. // Colorado
"I have seen many different therapists and practitioners and I can honestly say that Aureli is one of the best at creating safety and a beautiful container for trauma release/alchemy work. My body responded very well to her sessions and I feel like I was able to access my body in a new and deeper way afterwards. After our sessions, I felt more like my true self and I felt very free to express!"
"Aureli is a wise, deep, loving soul. Compassion is the centerpiece of her work."

Why Autumn Equinox?
Long before calendars divided the year, our ancestors looked to the turning of the seasons as moments of great power.
The Autumn Equinox marks the sacred balance point between light and dark—a liminal threshold where summer begins to surrender to autumn, the harvest is gathered, and the Earth herself begins her journey inward. Across many Earth-honoring traditions, this season has been celebrated as a time of gratitude, release, devotion, and preparation for the quieter months ahead.
To enter the sacred cave during this liminal threshold is to journey into the womb of the Earth herself—to descend into the darkness not as something to fear, but as the birthplace of transformation. Here, beneath the mountain, we are invited to lay down what has completed its cycle, listen for the deeper voice of the soul, and emerge renewed.
Paricipants should be comfortable with:
꩜ Spending extended time outdoors
꩜ Climbing the pilgrimage path to and into the Cave of Mary Magdalene multiple times during the week (can be slippery and dark)
꩜ Shared accommodations (if selecting a shared room)
꩜ A more intimate and communal environment than a traditional retreat center
꩜ Flexibility and openness as we travel and pilgrimage together
This experience is designed for women in generally good health and mobility who feel called to engage actively with the sacred landscape of Sainte-Baume.
Accommodations
Throughout our pilgrimage, we will stay together in a beautiful private villa nestled in the Provence countryside, surrounded by the natural beauty of Southern France and within easy reach of the sacred mountain of Sainte-Baume.
Our villa will serve as our home and sanctuary throughout the week—a place to gather for nourishing meals, song circles, ceremony, conversation, rest, and integration between our journeys to the mountain.
This pilgrimage is intentionally limited to a small group of women in order to preserve the intimacy, depth, and individualized nature of the experience.
While the villa will be thoughtfully selected for beauty, comfort, and gathering, this experience embraces the simplicity and closeness of living together in community. Depending on the accommodations, bathrooms may be shared among guests.
You will have the option for either a shared or private room.
