inspired by the Gospel of Mary since 2003

                       Houston Texas

A place to explore the wisdom and teachings that shape our Magdalene Community.


For over two decades, our community has had the pleasure of meeting and learning from scholars, mystics, poets and teachers who helped restore Mary Magdalene to her rightful place.

These studies have been our companions, opening our hearts, expanding our imagination, and deepening our devotion.


May these books guide you as they guide us.
