Magdalena: A Six-Day Journey into the Feminine Mysteries
Magdalena is a six-day journey into the deep mysteries of the feminine for women and female bodies. Born from a longing to restore the ancient initiations of the feminine into everyday life, this path seeks to reweave the wisdom teachings of the priestess into the fabric of our communities and homes, accessible to all women.
It arises from the remembering that life itself is born from great spirals and cycles, and that there are moments in time—thresholds, crossroads, veils—that call us into initiation. These are the moments that shape us deeply, moments that demand ritual, ceremony, and the guidance of those who have walked this path before us.
On this journey, we will reconnect with our first blood, honoring the innocence of the body, the sacredness of eros. With loving presence, we turn toward the deep teachings of our wombs, the mysteries that have been guarded in the dark cauldrons within us.
We will stitch together the fractured parts of ourselves—healing the divide between mother and whore, a split cast upon Magdalene by a world that seeks to diminish the fullness of the feminine. We open the door to the shadow of the feminine, inviting the energies that have long imprisoned us to be released.
We welcome the deity of death into our lives, seeking the teachings of birth, death, and rebirth as living testimonies to an ecstatic, embodied existence. Through this sacred process, we come to understand that the cyclical nature of life is not one of limitation, but of infinite possibility and transformation.
We will delve into our oracular gifts, awakening our intuitive wisdom and psychic channels. And through all of this, we invite the teachings of love—love that moves through the beauty and vulnerability of the human heart, the very heart of the feminine.
DATES.
We start on 15th July at 3pm
We conclude on 20th July at 11am

Kaya Levin
Kaya is a modern interpretation of an embodied priestess, living her life close to the magic sparks that encapsulate even the mundanest of life.
She finds her access to remembering divine nature through the enchantment of beauty infused with occultic hypnotic flow states.
The sorceress within her inspires through rituals and temple experiences, working her magick to return home to innocence and every living creature’s birthright of ecstasy and wonderment.
She works as Dakini with sexual empowerment rooted in the tantric and mystical traditions through bodily transmissions and the reviving of sacred physical and metaphorical spaces through the mysteries of feminine nature.
"My week of journeying with Magdalena was one of deep surrender and catharsis for the control of my feminine. The shackles by which I keep myself ‘correct’ are slowly disintegrating.
I danced, I moved and prayed at the altar of life and love itself. I felt it all, leaning into the coven where nothing less than truth and love is held. I grieved the parts of me I have cast out for so long and held hands with the soul I am proud to house."

THE VENUE
For those looking for a peaceful haven, Yenice Vadi is located within a quiet Turkish valley, providing the perfect escape offering superb accommodation nestled amongst trees and mountains with easy access to the coast.
The valley is surrounded by an abundance of trees including pine, almond, olives and fruit trees, all of which attract a wonderful range of wildlife including birds, boars, squirrels, hares, tortoises and goats.
