Our planet is experiencing a crisis of love. How can these crises of our time be transformed into a great love?
We all respond to the word “love” — it is at the heart of who we are. But our cultural understanding of love has become commodified, more transactional in nature, a delusion only masquerading as love.
Over 2,000 years ago, two powerful teachers and mystics — Yeshua and Mary Magdalene — planted the seeds of teachings rooted in “true” love. Much of Magdalene’s wisdom went underground, where it was kept alive in mystery school teachings and in the culture of the troubadours and the Cathars in France… until they were eradicated through centuries of patriarchal abuse of power and domination.
Today we are sorely in need of these deeper teachings, which lay out for us a way of walking as an awakened human — with the heart of the Divine Feminine. We are hearing the call to turn inward and cultivate ourselves as a vessel of this love, becoming intimate with our humanity.
We must move beyond the mind to the heart and body of what love actually is — with Mary Magdalene as our muse… our guide… our High Priestess.
The Divine Feminine is calling to all of us. She calls us not to think about love, but to actually embody our whole lives as LOVE.
For Elayne Kalila Doughty, psychotherapist and founder of the Priestess Presence Temple, it begins with fully accepting both your humanity and your divinity — so you can cultivate your spiritual core through the alchemy of the heart.
She has the divinely feminine capacity to guide people in awakening and activating their spiritual lives — releasing their traditional programming about what spirituality is supposed to be, and what it’s supposed to feel like. She inspires people instead to align with their higher selves.
You'll be guided in this advanced initiation to connect with Mary Magdalene as the historical woman — and as the collective Divine Feminine — that is already within you.
When you truly open yourself to the guidance, empowerment, and blessings of your inner wisdom, your life becomes filled with more radiance, grace, and power. You live connected to — and as an expression of — the Divine.
When you embark on this journey, you'll be guided through Mary Magdalene’s Sanctuary as you devote yourself to temple ceremonies and rituals as a core part of your practice.
Your Magdalene Sanctuary is an internal holy refuge that connects you to your highest spiritual self. Embodying the Divine Feminine in sanctuary gives you deeper intimacy with your sensual and creative sides…
… where you're able to experience that sacred space within yourself — through all of your senses.
You will cultivate your own temple practice steeped in community, ritual, and ceremony — and develop uniquely personal ways of connecting to and invoking the potency of Mary Magdalene’s teachings…
… from which you will receive direct transmissions and practices to embody the Way of Love — with your whole life (and body) serving as your sacred temple.
You’ll deepen your devotion and commitment to love by calling on nine of the Magdalene empowerments — or symbols — to anchor your practice with beauty, compassion, and illumination… extending your inner sanctuary outward.
The power of symbols, metaphors, and imagery serves as the language that your deeper soul understands, connecting you to your highest spiritual realm — while also giving you a place to ground your practice and carry you through your daily life.
Each session is focused on a sacred symbol that helps you build the archetypal and energetic foundations for deep feminine wisdom.
This course offers a way to deepen your devotion, commitment, and knowledge of yourself as the Way of Love…
… and cease to live within the outmoded patterns that would have you believe that love is somewhere outside of yourself.
Throughout this journey, you’ll explore core devotional teachings from the Sanctuary of Mary Magdalene that will help you move away from spiritual programming that hasn’t served you…
… and journey deep into the heart of your own divine knowing.
Inhabiting the Way of Love means fully welcoming the human experience in your current incarnation — exactly as you are — while cultivating a renewed sense of clarity, courage, and integrity.
You’ll dig deep to find the Divine within your embodied human form — as you embrace the challenging initiations — hurt, loss, hatred, fear, separation, jealousy, and greed to awaken…
… and remember yourself as love.
You’ll also be supported by a spiritual community of like-hearted beings who are committed to a deeper practice of devotion to connecting with and embodying the Magdalene teachings. In bringing our personal sanctuary to the collective, we empower a broader consciousness and alchemical healing to our temple.
And, together, you’ll walk the Way of Love — as you remember the path of immanence and embodied presence.
This is not a teaching — it is an embodied transmission and a virtual initiation.
This initiation is about moving from seeking to find love or trying to get love — to being love…
… because once you develop an intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene, you’ll embody the core principle that She lives within you.
She is not outside. She is a frequency — a collective archetypal field of love that guides from within.
Love is profound.
Love is an initiation.
And it is calling you to remember that you are divine.
In this Ceremonial Journey, Elayne Kalila guides you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully create a life devoted to the Way of Love.
The course feature 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 cultivate your Magdalene sanctuary and walk the Way of Love. Your purchase includes 24/7 ongoing access to your course content, allowing you time to review the materials at your own pace and integration. Your purchase includes 24/7 ongoing access to your course content, allowing you time to review the materials at your own pace and integration.
Please Note: If you have not experienced Elayne Kalila’s teachings before, you’re welcome to take this next-level training but we ask you to complete the foundational 7-module The Magdalene Journey of Feminine Embodiment program on your own as a prerequisite. It will be included in your registration and can be completed before or in tandem with this advanced intensive.
In your first gathering, you stand at the doorway to your temple sanctuary and hear the call to the Magdalene and the Way of Love. You know this path, and are now called to enter into a deeper remembrance through the living, embodied practice of these teachings. This is your time to ground this beautiful path as sacred practice in your own life.
You’ll enter into the Magdalene Sanctuary to be received by Her and to receive the power of Her presence. Through this, you awaken Her as She lives within you — to seek her wise counsel and to more deeply follow the path She embodied in her own ministry.
You’ll receive your inner sanctuary empowerment to awaken the Inner Christ through the sacred alabaster jar — the most iconic Magdalene symbol.
And, you’ll awaken your inner sanctuary through the sacred ancient art of self blessing and anointing.
In this temple, you’ll:
As above, so below. The Tree of Life reflects this hermetic teaching. The roots and the canopy of the tree are the same, and the trunk connects the above and the below.
The branches of the tree spread up into the cosmos to connect us to the transcendent. The more rooted we are below, the more we can expand above.
This practice is about being more fully human — it’s not about transcending your humanity. You are human and spiritual. We are being brought into our humanity through our roots as Magdalene.
You’ll feel the power of connecting to your roots, all of life, and the planet. To be fully human, we must recognize that we are from the earth, and yet, we are also of the stars.
As you connect to Source as the Divine Feminine — the Mother principle, the source of all nourishment, nurturance, and replenishment — you’ll ground more deeply into your spiritual practice.
In this temple, you’ll:
You’ll activate your inner mirror by gazing directly into the deepest part of your being, coming into intimacy with the Magdalene as she lives inside you.
In this practice, you’ll move beyond the awkwardness of meeting yourself. You’ll call yourself into deeper authenticity, truth, and stillness as your presence comes forward as part of the collective Magdalene.
The soul houses your inherent goodness that can never be lost, only forgotten. In the realm of your inner sanctuary, you can listen to this essential aspect of yourself.
We are not sinful — our humanity is not shameful. Sin is simply the forgetting of our true nature. In this temple sanctuary, you’ll be guided back to your true nature by Mary Magdalene and her teachings to help you remember this.
As you awaken and activate this potent symbolic treasure, your Soul will open to your inner gnosis.
In this temple, you’ll:
During this ritual activation temple day, you will come into ceremonial space to deepen your practice of these beautiful teachings from the Way of Love, engaging in movement, breath, devotional practice, and the mystery.
In these temple ceremonies, you’ll be initiated in devotion through your own practice. You'll be guided through three different Power Ceremonies to cultivate your personal relationship with Magdalene as you receive her guidance — together in community, in shared sanctuary space.
You’ll awaken your energy, source from the earth, and connect to everything that supports and nourishes you. You’ll activate gnosis and your sense of who you are as a spiritual being.
Re-source Your Blood Power to Weave Interconnection With All Beings
Refine Your Gnosis to Engage With the Wisdom of the Subtle Realms
Be Called Into the Sacred Inner Castle to Access Your Own Inner Throne
You’re called into the power of forgiveness, compassion, humility, and kindness. Through these portals, you awaken to the heart of your humanity.
We begin with the act of self-forgiveness, because until we forgive ourselves, we can not forgive anyone else. It’s through your fallible, imperfect human journey that you awaken the eyes of the heart.
As you reintegrate your divine and human selves, you begin to remember that you have a choice in every moment to listen to your higher self — your inner Magdalene.
You’ll sit with forgiveness and mercy as you open the chalice of your own heart. You’ll open the way for the Soul to be heard and for Mary Magdalene to guide in the embodied practice of filling your inner chalice with compassion.
Through the symbol of the chalice — the Holy Grail — you’ll awaken and activate this potent symbolic treasure within as humility and human kindness.
In this temple, you’ll:
Invoke the power of your clarity and courage to feel how this path of embodied love calls you to stand in integrity — the original shape of your innermost soul being.
Begin to align with love in the space of justice, impeccability, sovereignty, courage, and power.
Do your actions align with your words? Do your words align with your higher self? Are you living in the resonance and coherency of love?
You’ll be called to the inner library of Sophia which houses the book of life — the pages on which we have written the story of our humanity and where we remember the love of our soul being.
You will connect to the powerful symbol of the Sacred Red Book. Enter into deeper integrity and courage to consciously write the story of your soul’s journey home to divine humanity.
In this temple, you’ll:
Access the power of the most tender and vulnerable aspects of your heart through the magic and mystery of the rose.
At the heart of the Way of Love are the teachings of the Rosa Mystica, the awakening of unconditional love within our own hearts.
As you integrate the practices of The Tree of Life, the mirror, and the chalice, you will naturally arrive at the center of the spiral where you will find the eternal rose that is asking to bloom within your heart.
You’ll awaken the eyes of the heart through tender devotion to your human journey.
You’ll start to feel the elixir and fragrance of the rose as it releases into your heart, inviting in a deeper sense of what it is to devote yourself to the Way of Love and enter into innocence and tenderness.
In this temple, you’ll:
Embrace the inherent beauty lying at the heart of your humanity as inner radiance. You’ll enter into a process of refinement as you activate the pearl light body known as the Pearl Robes of Light.
In the Way of Love, the beauty that exudes from within is like flowing nectar from an awakened heart. The Pearl shows the path of inner transformation embracing the grit that irritates the soft underbelly of your being.
Much like the pearl, we’re given copious opportunities to embrace irritation, discomfort, fear, and separation — and bathe it in the light of love for transformation. The Mother of Pearl embraces an irritant with Nara, an iridescent material, and transmutes it with motherly love into a beautiful pearl. At its core, the Pearl is still the irritant.
Out of that discomfort, after being bathing in love, compassion, and kindness, it is now clad in robes of iridescent light.
The awakening of the Pearl Robe of Light is found in the innocence of the inner heart, in the presence of the divine human who has embraced the alchemical journey of the Way of Love and chosen to become Anthorpas, fully human.
In this temple, you’ll:
When you feel rapture cultivated through the Way of Love, you become an overflowing flower offering the nectar of wild honey to the world.
Enter into the body and eros as sacred and alchemize any shame. The body becomes the temple and seat of marriage to your divine self. This is cause for celebration and an embodiment of the ecstasy that comes from feeling free.
In the Way of Love, the bees in your heart create the heady aroma and amrita — the honey that spreads through the body — and provide you with sweetness as you enter the garden of Eden. You’re already in heaven and heaven is within you.
We’ve never truly been exiled — just on a journey to remember how to come back to the full aliveness of our divine humanity. We’ll distill the soul essence through rapture, celebration, wildness, passion, and magic.
We are no longer bound by our passions, which in Christian doctrine means “to suffer.” Instead, we are freed to feel passion as a means toward full expression.
The honeybees (known as Mellissa) have been making honey from brokenheartedness, human pain, and suffering. You’ll be called to taste the honey of this path — and what you’ve been distilling in your inner sanctuary.
In this temple, you’ll:
During this day-long ritual activation temple day, you will continue your immersion in temple ceremony.
You'll be guided through three different Heart Ceremonies to further your personal relationship with Magdalene, as you receive her guidance — together in community, in shared sanctuary space.
You’ll awaken and integrate with your heart, reignite your wild rapture, and release yourself with humility and surrender.
Reawaken Your Tender, Magnificent Heart
Reignite Your Wild Vital Rapture
Release Into Humility & Surrender
What would it be like to become walking grace, in all situations and with all beings? To discover there is grace in our imperfection, fallibility, and messiness?
To become living grace is to become fully human. The illumination of Sophia Dove — the brightest symbol of the awakening of Sophia consciousness, divine feminine wisdom — takes us into the poetry of the soul.
Mary Magdalene guides us to walk as living grace. The Dove of Sophia consciousness illuminates even the darkest spaces within, bringing the light of wisdom to us.
She is an emissary of something so ineffable and numinous that it can not be reached through the mind. It must come through the heart.
You will be awakened to the living wisdom that is your angelic divine self. The Dove travels with you — above your crown chakra — connecting you to angelic shards of light that are replicated in every cell of your being.
Now, when you realize you are no longer seeing through the eyes of the heart, you have a way to come home again. You have a practice to yoke to the inner wisdom, even when you stray from the Way of Love.
Only an awakened heart can truly experience grace and the awe that accompanies it.
In this temple, you’ll:

I’ve come full circle. I feel like I know myself better now and appreciate the lows and highs in my emotions and life. I was named after my paternal grandmother Magdalene and I gained more knowledge of that name. This course connected me to that lineage, and a remembrance happened from memories I had put off as random.
