A Sanctuary for the Divine Feminine Mysteries
✢
We Gather Online, Twice a Month, on the Sundays closest to the New and Full Moons.
We Align with Goddess Sophia's Sacred Lunar Rhythm of Descent and Illumination, where the Inner Christ is Remembered as Living Gnosis.
New Moon Sermon ✢
Magdalene Transmission
Rooted in the Gnostic lineage of the Divine Mother Sophia, tantra and the left-hand path. Here, Christ is understood as an inner Gnosis (knowing) revealed through Mother's holy wisdom woven through Nature and your Body.
These interactive gatherings offer comparative mysticism, syncretic Gnostic teachings and direct transmission. A sacred space to receive prayer and the Logos that pierces the heart of truth and opens you into remembering your innate Divinity and power.
You are your Guru and Saviour.
Full Moon Sharing ✢
Mother's Wheel
The Mother’s Wheel is a living, cyclical map of descent and ascent. Nature's language of transformation expressing through myth, body, and the art of alchemy. As the year turns, Mother's Kundalini energy moves through the body in different ways, directing the unfolding of our personal stories. We explore ancient Lunar cultures and how their wisdom speaks to what is moving in us.
In these gatherings we orient ourselves to the Mother's alchemical moment, by becoming aware of our own lives and sharing our experiences with each other in small breakout circles. Deep embodiment, connection and integration happens in safe communion with like-hearted friends.
The Body Temple Practice
✢
Woven through each gathering is The Body Temple Practice. Gentle, organic moments of somatic awareness, breath, meditation and visualisations. These practices are drawn from ancient Yogic spirit science and guide the nervous system into regulation. Returning us to the inner altar and still point of direct knowing.
We Gather in the Presence & Power of the Holy Spirit. We Call Forth Her Anointing Grace & Fire to Take Root in Our Hearts.
Meet Your Guide & Virgin Priestess
Hello Friend & Fellow Seeker:)
My name is Genevieve Akal & I love nothing more in this world than our Divine Mother. I grew up in Christian Fundamentalism and was deeply traumatized by its off-planet, punitive 'Father God' who claimed I was born sinful.
I found myself at war with my own Nature, where every primal impulse was 'The Devil'. So I suppressed half of my being; my body and the voice of my flesh, in a desperate attempt to be 'good', please 'God' and meet 'His' unattainable standards.
Eventually I left fundamentalism and washed up like a shipwreck on the shores of my fractured psyche and soma. I spent years walking the road of recovery and mending the great rift caused by Abrahamic Religion.
When I finally came home to embodying my own Nature, I had an inexplicable, spiritual experience and met the presence of the Divine Mother, a Holy Gnosis that speaks and guides me from within my body.
You can imagine my surprise and anger when I discovered that the very altar from which Divinity speaks, is the same altar that Fundamentalism severed me from.
Like so many of us, I was torn away from my Holy Mother, which is my own inner compass and the power to save myself.
Meeting this Beloved jewel within opened me to the nectar of life and Her abiding grace, wisdom, provision and protection.
She is the Shekhinah and Her Holy Spirit filled me to the brim and began to pour out of my lips. I am so deeply in love with Her, and since my encounter I have not been able to take my eyes off of Her.
I wouldn't want to, because She continues to liberate, inspire and astound me. She is the author of what the Alchemists call the Great Work or the Philosopher's Stone. I married my devotion to Her, because to me, there is nothing more precious, juicy and fulfilling than weaving my being into Her service.
Today I am a Gnostic Priestess, Yogini and Nun. Not of any religious institution, but a deeply personal call to serve the Mother and guide Her precious children home, into the arms of their own Christed Hearts.
As Mary Magdalene says in her Gnostic gospel, "My desire has ended, and ignorance has died." My lineage comes from Mount Lebanon, 80 miles from Magdala, and I walk the pre-Christian mysteries and devoted path of the Gnostics and Mariam Priestesses.
I am a Virgin Mother, a woman unto myself, and it is my deepest honour and privilege to hold your heart in reverence and share the Mother's love with you.
Thank you for being here and giving me the opportunity to nourish you.
Love, Genevieve,
A servant of the Living Sophia and Christ within.

Magdalene Church is the spiritual community I wish I had. A place free from dogma, hierarchy & outside saviors. Where we support each other's freedom to follow our own Heart-Led Way.
