Mother Mary is one of the most well known woman in history
but we know so little about her.
She was likely one of the most advanced human beings to have ever lived, yet her story was removed from institutionally approved books and what remains was likely rewritten to fit a particular narrative.
Mother Mary walked as an avatar of the Divine Mother.
Her life was also filled with trials, initiations, loss, traumas, awakening, divine ecstasy and, ultimately, a merging with cosmic consciousness.
She is the multi-dimensional feminine embodiment of the sacred heart.
There is the human Mother Mary.
She experienced the initiations of the Seven Sorrows,
allowing them to open her to something greater than herself.
A model for divine embodiment in human form.
There is the Wild Mary.
The Mary of the healing springs, mountains, forest, wild ones and
oracular wisdom of feminine body.
The mother of the spiral path.
Our initiation into the mature feminine known as Mother and Queen.
There is the Cosmic Mary.
The Black Madonna.
She who is the dark, primordial womb of creation.
The primordial consciousness of Love and Life itself.
Sovereign.
Erotic.
Wild.
Mystery.
Essence.
She lives and breathes in the pulse of us.
Mary is the beloved of the Divine.
She is you.

Most of the images of Mother Mary show us a passive, virginal and
innocent woman stuck in maidenhood.
We see a woman so pure that we do not believe we can live up to her.
We see a woman stuck in perpetual sorrow and lamentation.
We are not supposed to remember the woman who lived a full life, bore other children, initiated her son and even participated in (and continued)
leading the revolutionary, healing ministry of their time.
The image of the sorrowful mother was never meant to be a stagnant,
iconic archetype.
She’s not a woman frozen in grief, loyal to suffering
as a form of spiritual purity or love.
Mother Mary was human.
A woman, mother, wife, healer, teacher, sister, friend and a devotee of the Good.
She was no stranger to the human condition.
She was the Mother of God, yet she was initiated by loss.
It was these losses that brought her deeper into the
divinity of her sacred feminine heart.
Whether we call her Mother Mary, the Black Madonna, or the Divine Mother…
At the root of it all, she has always represented the wild,
awakened primordial feminine consciousness.
The sacred heart of the feminine.
She who allows the heartbreaks of her life to actively alchemize her essence.
She who births creation from the darkness.
These are the initiations that mature all of us.
That awaken us.
They are the ancient bridge from Maiden to Mother to Crone.
These thresholds open the heart to divine wisdom, expanded intuition, authentic compassion, more relational ease and greater spiritual understanding.
The heart is where heaven and earth meet in human form.
It is the heart that opens us to our true, essential nature.

Mother Mary continued her ministry through her apparitions and the direct revelations many of us have experienced.
The Seven Sorrows is one of the most cohesive apparition teachings
we have access to.
This apparition has a long history, dating all the way back from 12th century monastics to the 14th-century visions of Saint Bridget of Sweden.
In these apparitions, Mary made a specific request, that we meditate on her human suffering as much as her divinity.
She offered seven graces, or alchemical gifts, that are realized through a devoted meditation on the journey of her humanity.
In the 1980s, Mother Mary appeared again in Kibeho, Rwanda, with a prophetic warning of the darkness to come, urging a return to the meditation of the Sorrows.
These apparitions were just as vivid in the 1980s as they were in the 14th century.
The same journey and request.
While the Church folded this practice into a formal rosary prayer,
the original instructions were much more raw.
They were an invitation to not only return to the sacred heart, but to remember hers and take refuge in it.
Regardless of our faith.
Her heart is our heart.
Her journey is our journey.
Our sorrows can open doors to profound Divine mysteries and Grace in our lives.
These seven initiations bring us back to…
❁ A holy reclamation of a Wild, Awake Mary who dwells within.
❁ The wild nature of what it is to be alive.
❁ The wild nature of what it is to love and experience loss.
❁ The wild nature of what it means to be human and divine.
They root us in the Sacred Feminine Heart.
If you have ever felt the devotion to the Mother,
but not the institution itself…
If you love her in the wild places, the dark primordial liminal spaces, at the crossroads, in all her phases of the moon or in the faces of women who have lost, endured and risen anyway…
This is for you.

The Map of the Journey
Over seven weeks, we will journey into the heart of each of
the Seven Sorrows of Mother Mary in three distinct layers.
History & Mystery:
We will explore the historical and mystical context of each Sorrow.
Who Mary was, the context of her life, what she carried,
and what has been hidden or forgotten.
The Initiation:
We will walk through each Sorrow and Grace as a threshold in our own lives.
There will be space for personal contemplation, elemental wisdom and revelation.
The Ritual:
We will close each week with a guided, experiential journey, transmission or healing ritual as an invitation to move through the threshold, commune directly with the Sacred Heart of Mary and integrate.
