Trip Overview

Provence: A Sacred Journey is an intimate 7-day luxury small-group experience through Provence's most sacred landscapes, where history, devotion, and women's stories intertwine. Running April 25 to May 1, 2027, and limited to just 8 women, it blends a private villa stay in a 13th-century cardinal's residence near Avignon with private guided tours, immersive storytelling, and powerful sites associated with the divine feminine — including exclusive access to the caves of Mary Magdalene. Inspired by the book "Mary Magdalene Revealed," it's designed for women seeking seamless travel, cultural immersion, and a deeper connection to the forgotten holy women of history.


Highlights include a private tour of Mary Magdalene's sacred caves and a pilgrimage to her grotto at Sainte-Baume, breaking bread with Dominican friars at the Hôtellerie de la Sainte Baume, private winery tastings at iconic Provençal labels, French markets at Les Halles d'Avignon, the Abbey of Saint Andrew, and a day in elegant Aix-en-Provence with a Michelin-star dining experience. A dedicated private chef prepares authentic regional cuisine in the villa throughout. The pace is unhurried and indulgent, with every detail arranged so guests can simply be present.


The price includes six nights accommodation, daily breakfast at the villa, lunches during planned outings and dinners at the villa, expert-guided touring with exclusive access, private airport transfers, admission to all scheduled attractions, personal hosting and support, and all taxes and service fees. Guests need to arrange their own airfare and travel insurance, and should budget for meals during free time, gratuities, and any additional tours or expenditures during free time. Two room options are available — private or shared.
