Mary Magdalene & The Gospel of the Divine Companion
Saturday, June 7, 2025 – 11:00 AM EDT
FranceThe rise of the Sacred Feminine is an evolutionary imperative of our time in order to restore the balance of our culture and shift it from a dominator to a partnership mode. As an embodiment of the Holy Sophia and the Beloved Companion of Yeshua, she was a wisdom teacher in her own right, as attested by many Gnostic Gospels, especially The Gospel of Mary.
In 2010, The Gospel of the Beloved Companion (The Complete Gospel of Mary Magdalene) was published, and it turns out that this was the gospel of the mediaeval Cathars and the real treasure of Montsegur. There is also good reason to believe that this gospel was an earlier version of the heavily redacted Gospel of John where the Beloved Companion was transposed into the Beloved Disciple, while the originally feminine Spirit was incorporated into an exclusively masculine Trinity.
It is now time to restore Mary Magdalene to her rightful place and to co-create a culture of love, wisdom, truth and beauty.
