Elayne Kalila Doughty
Take your place in the lineage of the Sisterhood of the Rose that connects you to Mary Magdalene and women who’ve walked this same path throughout time — as you deepen your internal mastery and the flowering of your spiritual heart.
You’ve heard of Mary Magdalene, the historical biblical woman...
But not many realize that Mary Magdalene is actually a title given to a highly initiated woman — an accomplished priestess, teacher, orator, and oracle. Her name literally means Beloved (Mary) Tower of Strength/Great Magic Doorway (Magdalene).
To this day, her followers can feel the presence of this woman who holds the keys to a whole lineage of teachings — and to a collective consciousness, the Collective Magdalene.
Within the Collective Magdalene lies a rich history of women who’ve stood in spiritual leadership and authority throughout the ages. These women have walked as sisters and have been called to embody a form of spirituality that’s grounded in our full humanity.
At this pivotal point in history, the collective consciousness of the Magdalene is now calling in more followers than ever. The imbalances and trajectory of the last 2,000 years since the advent of Christianity have reached a critical point.
The effects of the patriarchal system based on superiority, white supremacy, misogyny, slavery, and a hierarchy of “one God” — have made way for terrifying outcomes.
Today’s climate change, political hypocrisy, failing health care and education systems, widespread poverty, starvation, and more — are all symptoms of a grossly imbalanced world.
What’s missing is a sense of deeper humanity, kindness, connection, and love.
Join us for a deepening 10-module course with Elayne Kalila Doughty, and explore how the Magdalene calls us to come further into the Sacred Way of the Rose, a feminine spirituality that embraces our divinity and humanity...
... and offers a profound way for us as modern women to step into a path that celebrates being fully embodied in our imperfect humanity — as a pathway to access the perfection of our divinity.
The rose has held incredible significance throughout time as a symbol of the Feminine. In fact, it predates the cross as the earliest symbol of mystic Christians or Gnostics.
Encoded within the rose is a pathway for awakening, unfurling, and opening the heart and the way of love as an embodied path of spiritual practice.
In each class, you’ll move through one of the six petals within the Sacred Rose Mandala, and explore potent practices and teachings that reveal a pathway to the maturation of your deep feminine spirituality.
This moment in time is a transition between the old and new worlds — and you’ve been called here to be part of midwifing a movement that chooses to come back to love, every time.
During this experiential course, you’ll:
- Ways to walk the Way of the Rose as you explore the 6 temples of the Magdalene — and receive her deepening teachings and practices for an embodied spiritual experience
- How the path of the Sacred Rosa Mandala can lead you back into your heart, to remember who you truly are in the face of our world’s challenges
- The true meaning of the Way of the Rose and the Gnostic practices — and how to bring them into your life
- What the early influential Gnostic schools can teach us about the Way of Love and the Magdalene herself
- How to embrace your wounds of separation, not belonging, feeling lIke an outsider, scarcity, lack of nourishment, and much more — and be guided into practices that reconnect you to the Mother
- Learn about kenosis, an early Gnostic principle at the foundation of the Way of the Rose — and explore why it’s so relevant today
- The power of Mary Magdalene’s transmission through the ages through the sharing of passages from the Gospel of Mary
- The 6 Faces of the Magdalene Assessment to discern which face is being called more deeply into your life at this time to guide and offer you support

You’ll experience the union of the divine and human in the bridal chamber in the hieros gamos (sacred marriage). This is love that’s erotic, wild, expressed, juicy, embodied, and divine — filled with adoration of the divine and celebration of the sensual delight of being embodied as a pathway to the divine.
This is the rose in her most exalted state, where you can bury your face in her soft petals to drink in the nectar of the Goddess... to be renewed and changed by her.
This is love that’s abundant, flowing, divnely intoxicating, radiant, erotic, and devoted.

— Rumi

You’ll feel the power of this moment of releasing the outward beauty of the rose and bringing all the energy inside.
At this point on your path, you’re in the phase of letting g o, of coming to completion with all that this cycle has offered you. Elayne Kalila will guide you to bring the learning, challenges, and gifts deep into the blood breath and bones of your body.
She’ll invite you to suck the marrow out of life, to feel the fullness and the incredible beauty of this cyclical path of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
You’ll begin to open to and accept all that has been, as you lay to rest everything that’s complete within you.

Diana and Elayne Kalila will guide you to feel the connection to both our impermanence and our immortality as you touch into the ephemeral petals of the Everlasting Bloom.
You’ll arrive at the center point of the mandala, the doorway between the worlds of form and formlessness. This is the ROSE who holds the place of constant renewal, rejuvenation, and resurrection.
You’ll feel the power of the inner radiance that’s perceived as the Sophia consciousness, or Robe of Light.
Each time you move through a full cycle of the Way of the Rose, you bring more radiance into the Everlasting Bloom and her Robe of Light. Along the way, you become more fully human.
This is the rose in her immortal state — radiant, illuminated, full of grace, and a portal between the worlds.
The anime Magdalene means the great portal between the world. Here, you’ll meet and merge with the Magdalene consciousness that goes beyond any one face — it’s all faces in union.
