At this pivotal point in history, when women’s rights — and lives — are being threatened all over the world, many spiritual seekers are feeling a desire to connect in a deeper way with Mary Magdalene — a long-suppressed, but never forgotten, feminine face of the Divine.
For thousands of years, our culture’s patriarchal systems have flourished — contributing to harmful conditions such as white supremacy, misogyny, slavery, and a hierarchy of “one God”...
Meanwhile, women have received cultural messages of lack, that we’re not good enough, too sexual, too outspoken, too much…
The feminine face of God has been ridiculed, shamed, and marginalized, according to psychotherapist and Priestess Presence Temple founder Elayne Kalila Doughty.
Our world truly needs the lost presence of the embodied, spiritually mature Divine Feminine. It’s at the heart of the collective healing that’s now required.
Thankfully, Magdalene has remained part of our collective consciousness, quietly holding a powerful place as a historical figure — and an archetype in our collective psyche.
Magdalene was a powerful and significant teacher among the early mystic Christians, though she was later miscast as a “fallen woman” — the erotic, embodied feminine that become so deeply shamed and reviled…
Elayne Kalila teaches that Mary Magdalene’s purposeful, conscious descent to the underworld to face herself can serve as a blueprint for coming down and into your own humanity… so you can reclaim your feminine power and voice, embracing your feminine form and divinizing your own embodiment.
Experience this powerful 7-module journey as Elayne Kalila's course guides you through the seven gateways — which represent the Divine Feminine Mystery of taking yourself into the underworld.
At each of the seven gateways into the underworld, you’ll unveil a new archetypal face of Mary Magdalene — serving as your spiritual guide and as the initiator into your own conscious journey into the underworld.
These archetypal faces represent a set of holy qualities that are necessary to integrate and embody in order to take part in the resurgence of the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the Divine Feminine.
For example, the Magdalene as the Sovereign Queen will awaken the alignment of your authentic power — your sense of connection to what embodied feminine power feels like…
Meanwhile the Magdalene as the High Priestess will connect you to the lineage of women throughout history who’ve awakened their voices to speak truth — and help you awaken your voice.
At each of the seven gateways in the underworld, a new dimension of the Magdalene will challenge you to let go of old beliefs and shadows that are keeping you stuck.
During this 7-module journey of humility and divinity, you’ll unveil your true self as you connect more deeply into your flawed humanity, broken heartedness, and places of deep sorrow. Along the way, you’ll open to the power of love — the presence of the Divine with you.
Magdalene will hold these transmissions for you — they’re waiting to be awakened within your own heart so you can enter this journey of descent into the underworld.
Embark on this 7-part journey as the Magdalene lights your spiritual path to embody the Divine Feminine through a conscious journey into the underworld — so you can experience a deep sense of peace, clarity, freedom, inner power, and self-acceptance.
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Elayne Kalila will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to be guided and mentored by the spirit of Mary Magdalene on your conscious descent into the underworld — unveiling the Divine Feminine within so you can reclaim your essence, power, and embodied presence.
This course features step-by-step teachings and experiential practices from Elayne Kalila. Each session builds harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to be guided and mentored by the spirit of Mary Magdalene on your conscious descent into the underworld — unveiling the Divine Feminine within so you can reclaim your essence, power, and embodied presence.

As this 7-week journey begins, Elayne Kalila will introduce you to your guide, mentor, and initiator into the underworld — Mary Magdalene.
You’ll learn how she lives within you — both as the historical woman and the collective archetypal figure that’s been rising in the collective imagination over the last few years.
You’ll enter into this journey to feel the power of what the Magdalene has been holding for us for the last 1,600 years, ever since she was mislabeled and cast out as a fallen, unclean woman.
You’ll explore how the Magdalene has been holding our feminine underworld journey deep within her womb — and how we’re all being called to rise again...
Then, Elayne Kalila will guide you in a temple circle to start the collective journey into the underworld.
You’ll meet at the entrance to the sacred cave, to enter into the inner descent journey...
As you’ll learn, this is a conscious choice to go into the underworld — the inner feminine mysteries — to unveil yourself to reveal the jewel, or essence that lives within you.
In this module, you’ll discover:

You’ll enter the Second Gateway of the Underworld and feel the power of the next stage of the unveiling, where you’ll meet the Magdalene as the Sovereign Queen.
Magdalene will awaken the alignment of your authentic power — your sense of connection to what embodied feminine power feels like. She’ll call forward your inner Peaceful Warrior Queen.
You’ll learn of the Breaca, Queen Boudicca of the Celtic Iceni Tribe, who was known as a warrior of the heart and a dreamer of the serpent spear.
You’ll connect with the lineage of Celtic priestess queens who hold the power of peace, as spiritual warrioresses — who stood in the face of abuse and violations at the hands of the Romans.
In this module, you’ll:

Elayne Kalila will guide you to move deeper into the void as you enter the third gateway of the underworld…
Here you’ll meet the Magdalene as the High Priestess. She’ll reveal all the ways the voice of the feminine has been silenced, repressed, and forbidden in the last 2,000 years.
She’ll initiate you to unveil all the ways you’ve been silenced in your life — and all the ways you’ve misused the power of your voice, as we all have. She’ll awaken your inner voice and connect you to the lineage of women throughout history who’ve awakened their voices to speak truth.
You’ll discover the Pythia and their position in ancient Greece as the ancient oracles — and learn how the feminine has held this esteemed and revered place as an intuitive seer, offering counsel and wisdom in all circles of leadership.
In this module, you’ll:

You’ll approach the fourth gateway of the mystery where you’ll meet the Magdalene as the Rosa Mystica.
She’ll guide you into all the ways feminine beauty and intimacy have been co-opted, commodified, and diminished in the last 4,000 years.
The Magdalene as the Rosa Mystica will initiate you to feel the wounds many of us carry — the fear of intimacy and the fear of being hurt or rejected if we choose to open our hearts and live fully present.
She’ll also call you to feel the tenderness and inherent beauty of an innocent, naked heart.
This is a gateway of vulnerability and intimacy, and the Rosa Mystica calls you into the center of the unfurling rose — the experience of full aliveness that comes when you’re easily moved by the presence of beauty within yourself and the world.
The Magdalene as the Rosa Mystica will call you to remember that beauty is a pathway to the Divine.
You’ll also connect with the lineage of Aphrodite who holds the power of beauty as an awakened heart — who calls you to reclaim the power of vulnerability.
In this module, you’ll:

You’ll approach the fifth gateway of the mystery into the underworld where you’ll meet the Magdalene as the Ecstatic Alchemist.
She’ll guide you into all the ways your wild, sensual, and erotic nature has been reviled and named as lustful. This gateway holds the core to the “Magdalene wound” — where the body has become synonymous with sin and is repressed, punished, and cast out.
You’ve been preparing for this gateway, revealing the wounds of each previous gateway. Now you’ll be called by Salome, who holds the key to the mystery of the Dance of the Seven Veils — a sacred ritual that embodies the descent journey.
Salome the Ecsatic Alchemist will awaken the alignment of your wild, erotic aliveness — as you dance the dance you came here to experience.
You’ll embrace the sacred temple art of temple dance, embodying the power of the naked feminine body — as an initiation into deeper truth and authenticity.
In this module, you’ll:

You’ll approach the sixth gateway of the mystery into the underworld where you’ll meet the Magdalene as the Death Maiden…
She’ll guide you into deep trust as you release anything that stands in the way of full transparency and innocence.
Magdalene as the Death Maiden will initiate you to feel a common wound, the fear of death, which keeps us from facing the deepest truth of impermanence and ceaseless change.
She’ll awaken your inner capacity to let go — releasing all attachments that no longer serve you — to enter into the conscious dying practice and connect to the completion cycle.
Elayne Kalila will share the story of Myrrophores, the ancient holy oil anointing priestesses who presided over the transition states of life, death, and rebirth. You’ll connect with the lineage of the Myrrohpores and learn of the 7,000-year-old tradition of sacred anointing.

The Magdalene as the Red Maven will hold you as you stand in the unknown and the darkness…
She’ll gently, yet persistently call you from the underworld — away from the Death Maiden, to be resurrected and reborn again.
Elayne Kalila will guide you to lean into the ancient pathway that’s been walked by those seeking profound spiritual maturation.
You’ll deepen with the Eleusinian mysteries and their sacred technology — the pathway for inner gnosis. You’ll discover a modern-day retelling of this myth that empowers you and the Divine Feminine.
At the seventh gateway into the underworld, Magdalene will initiate you into your humanity and humility. She’ll remind you of the ways you’ve deepened into intimacy with her on this journey — through fearlessly unveiling yourself to yourself.
