🌹 Mary Magdalene’s Footsteps

A Guided Walking Pilgrimage for Women

Provence, France | Tentative Dates: August 21–28, 2026

Follow the footsteps… ✨

This is a rare and meaningful walking journey for women who feel a quiet, unmistakable call to walk with intention — through land shaped by time, devotion, and elemental beauty.

Guided in collaboration with Re‑Connecting with Nature Tours, this pilgrimage traces a powerful progression through Southern France — from open coastal lands to limestone plateaus, into sacred mountain terrain, and finally into the shaded sanctuary of ancient forests near Sainte-Baume and Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.

✨ The Vision

This journey is both outer pilgrimage and inner alignment.

Before we ever step onto the trail, we walk together in preparation.

🌿 16-Week Guided Training Journey

May – August 2026

Participants will be supported through a 16-week group training experience with Coach Sarah, designed to ensure you arrive feeling confident, prepared, and at ease in your body.

This includes:

• Structured hiking & conditioning guidance

• Group online meetings and check-ins

• Practical preparation for multi-day walking in heat and varied terrain

• A gentle introduction to daily meditation and breathing practices, so you arrive already in rhythm — physically and internally

This is not about pushing — it’s about arriving ready.

🌍 The Walking Journey

Mary Magdalene’s Footsteps (5 Walking Days | 6–7 Days Total)

Exact stages to be confirmed

The land itself tells a story.

You’ll experience a striking progression of terrain:

🌞 Open Limestone Plateaus

• Broad, undulating terrain with long, gentle ascents

• Pale stone reflecting sunlight

• Dry air scented with wild herbs

• Shepherd shelters, ancient boundary walls, distant villages

• A feeling of openness, exposure, and expansion

⛰️ Sacred Mountain Ascent – Sainte-Baume

• Steeper climbs and folded limestone ridges

• Narrow, uneven paths with roots and rock

• A sense of enclosure and deep presence

• This is the most physically demanding section — and the most symbolically powerful

🌳 Forest Sanctuary Near Saint-Maximin

• Dense beech and oak forest, rare in Provence

• Cool shade, mossy stones, springs, and softer earth

• A dramatic contrast to the dry lowlands below

• Quiet, reverent, and deeply nourishing

Overall, the route is physically moderate, with one significant mountain section, and designed to be challenging yet accessible with proper preparation.

🌹 Guided with Care & Wisdom

We are honoured to guide this journey alongside Jo Jinton, a world-class guide and Health & Wellness teacher with a deep relationship to this terrain and its historical traditions.

Together, our team will support you — physically, mentally, and emotionally — so you feel:

• Safe

• Strong

• Connected

• Fully present for the experience

This is a thrilling, soulful, once-in-a-lifetime journey — held with intelligence, warmth, and respect for the land and the women walking it.
